Turban Tide and Hindoo Invasion

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Subject does not appear to be notable. Subject as for a long time been verified by use of only one reference since 2010, which is of questionable reliability. Upon searching for content regarding the alleged "Hindoo Invasion" or "Turban Tide" I did not find any significant coverage of either to warrant that the article would pass WP:GNG.

 * Automated comment: This AfD was not correctly transcluded to the log (step 3). I have transcluded it to Articles for deletion/Log/2012 July 23.  Snotbot   t &bull; c &raquo;  23:17, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete This is a hoax, almost eligible for CSD. -- Anbu121 ( talk me ) 23:27, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge: I believe the content of this article should be merged into the Stereotypes of South Asians article. Jagged 85 (talk) 03:05, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment This is highly contentious material. Needs very strong evidence from multiple reliable sources to stay in Wikipedia. -- Anbu121  ( talk me ) 09:38, 24 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into Stereotypes of South Asians, per Jagged 85. It does not appear to be a hoax, nor is it so offensive that we need to censor it. On the other hand, I can't find any additional sources, which would lead me to delete this. Bearian (talk) 20:28, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment, part of the reason why I proposed this article for AfD was that I could not find a reliable source that significantly covers the subject either one of the two parts, or both parts combined. If this content were to be merged as suggested by other users, it would be subject to WP:BURDEN since the lone source provided in the present article is of questionable reliability, or in my opinion, not reliable at all.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:39, 26 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete or Merge into Stereotypes of South Asians, per Jagged 85. I am very concerned over the lack of citation. Jrcrin001 (talk) 06:51, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Something should be merged if there's some reliable source mention, not if we think there could be.&mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  03:41, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, totally, without a merge or redirect. I could find absolutely no confirmation that either of these terms was ever actually used - unlike the equally offensive but historically significant "Yellow peril" stereotype directed toward East Asians. In fact, searching turns up only this Wikipedia article, which is thus lending online credibility to a subject that does not seem to deserve it. --MelanieN (talk) 22:01, 5 August 2012 (UTC)
