This is completely unsourced and I have notability concerns as well. Hinduism does not seem to be a noteworthy religion in the Comoros. -- Tavix (talk) 21:41, 1 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

But there's nothing to merge unless at least one of the claims can be substantiated. Also, there's nothing currently on the religion page on Hinduism so a redirect wouldn't make sense. Do you have any sources on Hinduism in Comoros? -- Tavix (talk) 17:05, 3 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with no prejudice against re-creation if someone wants to write a proper article. The Hindu population is very small, I can find sentences like: "The government continues to significantly respect religious freedom, especially for the several hundred non-Sunni residents including Shia Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Jehovah's Witnesses, Roman Catholics, and Protestants." But noting in the way of SIGCOV comes up in quick searches. So while the article may well be correct that some Hindus arrived as migrants, presumably in the French colonial period, and although it would be in line with our many Hinduism in..., it seem wiser to delete, unless or until someone comes by willing and able to source it.E.M.Gregory (talk) 00:35, 9 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
