This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Hinduism. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Hinduism|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Hinduism. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Article on certain topic "Thauddin" about the conversion of a Hindu king to Islam - Only found in conspiracy theories and low quality news reports by journalists. Usually supported by substandard books and research papers (all them by Muslim authors)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Royalty and nobility, Islam, Hinduism, Oman, Kerala, and Tamil Nadu. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 11:43, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
• Delete. I can't find anything noteworthy (or indeed much at all) in Google Books. Dāsānudāsa (talk) 14:59, 2 January 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: At best a hoax. Sources cited are poor in quality, this is itself sourced from Wikipedia. Garuda ^Talk! 13:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)
• Delete as per Garudam. This page is unverifiable. Bearian (talk) 05:59, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

That tag should have been on the article, but no harm done. Bearian (talk) 06:00, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete Unlikely historical. Agletarang (talk) 09:09, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
• Delete: The article relies on substandard references that fail to meet WP:RS and WP:V standards. For example:
  The cited works by Y. Friedmann and O. Loth are largely speculative and don't provide direct evidence for the subject's historicity. Katz’s "Who Are the Jews of India?" and Prange’s "Monsoon Islam" discuss tangentially related topics, not corroborating the claimed events. Sources like "Islamqa.info" and the claimed link to the "splitting of the moon" belong to religious interpretations, not historical fact. The narrative seems to be rooted in a WP:FRINGE, lacking corroboration in mainstream academic research. The cited “Qissat Shakarwati Farmad” is itself unverifiable beyond dubious origins and has been critiqued for being anecdotal. The connection to Cheraman Perumal converting to Islam is unsupported by high-quality sources, reinforcing this as a likely WP:HOAX. Per NOT a repository of myths and notability guidelines, this article fails en-wiki standards. Nxcrypto Message 06:26, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

  Plus, this article was created directly in the mainspace by DonParlo, who is now globally blocked. This further raises doubts about this hoax article legitimacy. Nxcrypto Message 06:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Delete: Previous editors of the article deliberately included these references to give it an appearance of credibility. However, the content of the article does not align with the cited sources. JamesMdp (talk) 10:30, 7 January 2025 (UTC)

Keep: Based on the basic criteria WP:BASIC, people are considered notable if they have received significant coverage in more than one publication, and are considered worthy of being retained. Historical and religious biography [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], this name is slightly less popular, if this bio is renamed to the well-known Cheraman Perumal, more Confucianism can be avoided. Cheraman Juma Mosque, which is part of the first Muslim mosque in India, established in 629 CE, is named after him in history ~~ Spworld2 (talk) 04:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: He is national convener, but not the leader (ping LordVoldemort728) who's the president of BD -- currently (?) Pravin Togadia[9]. Doneria appears to have no personal sigcov, and his only appearance elsewhere currently is at the BD article in its infobox as the organisation's head, which should be corrected. It may even be that not every past president of BD meets notabity requirements (ref WP:NOTINHERITED and the table at the article), though clearly many do. ^~Hydronium^~Hydroxide^~(Talk)~ 03:52, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Hinduism and Uttar Pradesh. Shellwood (talk) 19:54, 25 December 2024 (UTC)
• If these are two Roman spellings of the same caste then one article should simply be redirected to the other. I don't know which is the more common spelling in English. Phil Bridger (talk) 12:17, 26 December 2024 (UTC)
• Comment: Both variant articles have long histories, dating back to 2009 for this and 2011 for the other. The other currently has more substantial content, though this one has had substantial additions and subtractions. Wouldn't this be better handled as a Merge-from / Merge-to proposal, so that the better target name and content could be established on article Talk? AllyD (talk) 09:00, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
