Whataboutery in India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )


 * 1) This is way too specific for an article, and Whataboutery is not specific to India. I, however, do not support a merge with Whataboutism.
 * 2) This article also seems to be taking a jab at the Indian "Narendra Modi" government and some right-wing political parties. dibbydib boop or snoop 00:42, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete and merge any worthwhile content into the main page on whataboutism. This is not unique to India, nor does it seem unusually prevalent.As such its hard to see why we need a separate article.Slatersteven (talk) 06:16, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete, I can’t say I disagree with the content of the article, but it’s still a POV fork that has no reason to exist. Devonian Wombat (talk) 07:28, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete What about the whatabouttery in other countries eh? This article doesn't talk about that! (This means I think this is a WP:POVFORK BTW). FOARP (talk) 07:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't - this is a geographical "fork", which in itself is fine. Please read policies before citing them. Johnbod (talk) 20:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Merge. I have no idea why it was done separately from the main article Whataboutery, . The nom in saying we should not merge seems to be saying we should discuss this as it applies  everywhere except in India.   I do not follow Indian politics, but if the content is onesided in some political fashion, additional content can be added.  DGG ( talk ) 18:54, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Merge. per DGG. Johnbod (talk) 20:33, 12 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I'm sure you can get examples of whataboutery (or indeed any kind of logical fallacy) in any country in the world, that does not mean you should have an article about on any specific country. Country-specific examples of whataboutery is not a notable subject by itself unless it can be shown that it is something widely discussed. There is also an element of original research as well as POV issues for any entry. A line or two can be added to the main article whataboutism for specific examples discussed as cases of whataboutery (but frankly, the inclusion of many of the entries in "Whataboutism" are excessive), but merging the article is pointless.
