Votebank
This article is created with sole purpose of pushing one's POV .The creater user:Gamesmasterg9 after unsuccessfuly trying to move the preexisting page Vote Bank to Votebank politics in India has created this page which cannot be moved now to the original place because it has a redirect to this article.This article which is merely a bundle of opinion of one person cannot replace the content rich and well referenced earlier version which is now Votebank politics in India.The person has history of trolling and does not believe in consensus.Please DELETE this page and restore the original version.See the relevant talk on the earlier page too.I agree the term is Indian but it does not mean it talks of Indian politics only and we cannot create pages with similar contents and subject.I would also recommend BLOCK for this person.Holy---+---Warrior 16:22, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep. A votebank is a political concept. The older page was a description of votebank politics in India exclusively. The move was justified.Gamesmasterg9 20:05, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep Seems a reason able distinction to make, and the Indian article is still there. Artw 14:55, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Plz note:The article will never grow beyond present size if it does not adress indian context.There is very little or no usage of the term outside India.The present content of the article is nothing but few sentences taken out of the original article.With time both article will have same/similar contents.Will you merge them then.Holy---+---Warrior 08:51, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
 * PLz go through this too.,, Holy---+---Warrior 08:55, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

A request - please don't make this personal.Gamesmasterg9 11:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. Seems like it'd be a notable concept to me. Notable articles should be fixed, not deleted. In the meantime, let's just say it looks bad to accuse other editors of trolling without offering any attempt at justifying the accusation. Luna Santin 04:03, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge the articles Votebank politics in India, Voting bloc and this one. utcursch | talk 06:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * A parallel discussion has taken place on this page too.One may refer to this too. Holy | Warrior 16:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * To Satin:Plz note the title occupied by this page has previously been held by what is Votebank politics in India.Check the move logs for better view.A question to you,if this case is not trolling,then if we assume a merger here,anybody creating a similar page again after merger,diverting the links, will not be called trolling again????Infact a merger of Vote Bank and Vote bank had already taken place,before creation of this article.Lastly I would say notability is not in question here because it has been already discussed during AfD of previous article,Perhaps you haven't gone through that.If we don't fix this problem now,I am pretty sure You will soon find pages with Vote bank politics in Kuwait,Votebank politics in malaysia with size comparable to the size of this article.In light of this you may reconsider your vote.Hope for the best from you.

 * Even if the pages you mention are created, how is that a bad thing? Why exactly is a longer article better than a short one?Gamesmaster G-9 17:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
