 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Redirect to Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts. Although I personally don't see this as a likely search term, the consensus here seems to be going towards a merge/redirect. Anything worth merging elsewhere is still available in the article history. Randykitty (talk) 16:00, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Threat of nuclear war between India and Pakistan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Declined PROD that isn't notable.  NickGibson3900 Talk 01:47, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect to the significantly better Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts, which has a section on "Nuclear-arms race". Threat of nuclear war between India and Pakistan has no references, while the redirect target I propose has 72 references. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  05:10, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

This is an important topic. This page should not be deleted.

Within the page itself it is evident that there is a possibility of nuclear war between India and Pakistan. Users of Wikipedia have the right to remain informed on this vital issue.

 * Please understand that while Wikipedia will record information about current events that are in the news, we are not a news site ourselves (WP:NOTNEWS), nor are we a forum to report on various different issues. We are here to inform, but in the context of an encyclopedia. The type of informing you are referring to is more appropriate for news sites, forums, blogs, and the like. There's just no real need for a separate article if it's already covered in another article. The only way you can show otherwise is to add plenty of references to show that nuclear war specifically needs its own page outside of the main article entry.

 * Redirect to Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts per Cullen Nick-D (talk) 23:11, 24 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. Nick-D (talk) 23:14, 24 October 2014 (UTC)


 * Redirect as above per Cullen's suggestion. Topic does not warrant a stand alone article and can be sufficiently covered at Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts. Anotherclown (talk) 01:43, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete - This editor is simply trying to reconstruct Kashmir - the most dangerous place in the world in a more elaborate way. Kautilya3 (talk) 21:39, 25 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete - How come we have to create a redirect when we can simply include one or two paragraphs on any India-Pakistan relationship article. Bladesmulti (talk) 17:15, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Indo-Pakistan wars and conflicts. The article's content should be copied to that article's talk page with a collapsed hatnote for further discussion as the content here is probably useful and might make a subsection there under Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts but it is not separately needed as numerous articles cover this topic from different aspects and this is just a fork. Noting that the creator also created Kashmir - the most dangerous place in the world (which is also under AFD on similar grounds), it would be a good idea for an experienced editor to mentor the creator about wikipedia to turn his efforts into useful ones instead of creating forks as intent might be good as I get from these two contributions. I'm not going for a 'delete' because the descriptive title of this article is an excellent redirect candidate per se. -- lTopGunl (talk) 00:05, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge and mentor as suggested. I'm busy this week. Bearian (talk) 21:16, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Redirect/Merge I agree with a merge into Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts per Cullen. That article is more developed and would cover the subject more suitably. Or we can just wait until this article develops more itself. Supersaiyen312 (talk) 04:53, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * It could also be redirected to Nuclear warfare, although it may not be notable enough for that article. Supersaiyen312 (talk) 04:57, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Merge to Indo-Pakistani wars and conflicts as suggested by TopGun.  Mar4d  ( talk ) 04:56, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
