Fails WP:EVENT - no evidence of "significant national or international coverage". Mere 200 participants, just few of them notable. Contrary to the infobox type, no indication also that it is a recurring event. — kashmiri  TALK  13:28, 2 April 2017 (UTC)

 * comment there was some coverage, I would look forward to merge or redirect. Rzvas (talk) 09:20, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - Is there a reason to discount the 700+ google news results I see when searching the term there? Most of those are articles about Modi's participation in the event, but I don't see why they aren't good indicators of the article's suitability for inclusion in wikipedia.

 * Redirect If it is a one-off event, I don't expect coverage to continue to grow. There does seem to be enough coverage that it might still be a search term, and a redirect seems useful. Smmurphy(Talk) 20:08, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete It's a single event with no evidence of consistent, sustained coverage or real notability aside from Modi's participation. Information about this forum could possibly be included in the article for the All India Ulema and Mashaikh Board, but I wouldn't recommend a straight merge because some of the material here consists of peacock terms pulled from the forum's official website.

 * I just triple-checled the AIUMB article, and apparently at the bottom there's already information about this forum; I just didn't scroll down enough previously. In that case, I simply reaffirm my delete vote since the information is already included in the encyclopedia. MezzoMezzo (talk) 03:26, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge and redirect to All India Ulema and Mashaikh Board per above. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-ec/?user=Capankajsmilyo&project=en.wikipedia.org count])  19:37, 7 April 2017 (UTC)
