Indian wedding photography

I don't see why this topic deserves its own article, especially considering that there are already articles about Wedding photography and Hindu wedding. I propose that this article be redirected to one of these two articles. TillsTalk 19:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hold on please. The article has just been started.--ISKapoor (talk) 19:34, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Note that Indian wedding photography is totally different from western wedding photography.--ISKapoor (talk) 19:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The only difference I can see is that the wedding themselves are different; but what difference is there in the actual act of the photography of the weddings? TillsTalk 19:53, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Photography for an Indian wedding is very different. Indian weddings are colorful and chaotic. There is no white. Many of the events do not allow the use of controlled light conditions. The bride wears heavy bridal jewellery with brightly colored clothes. No lace.--ISKapoor (talk) 20:20, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That doesn't show why the photography is any different, just that the weddings are. Tavix | Talk 20:27, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge & redirect to wedding photography. The content of this article is not likely to be much different, and the differences between western and indian weddings pertain to the weddings themselves, not to the photography. Dr. Cash (talk) 20:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A significant part in Indian wedding. Deserves an article of its own.Shyamsunder (talk) 20:55, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with the possibility of a merge to be discussed elsewhere once the AFD is closed. Umbralcorax (talk) 21:19, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge with an appropriate article. Prefer keep. Article clearly focuses on differences between this genre of wedding photography and other genres of wedding photography. Fg2 (talk) 00:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There's enough here to demonstrate that this is its own "industry" among photographers (ex. "By convention a photographer is required to include each guest in at least one photograph which includes the bride and the groom.") and the list of poses that are expected to be photographed has no comparison in the West. Like a dowry, there is more detail than can be merged to an article about Indian weddings in general. Mandsford (talk) 15:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rename cant figure out what is going to be unique in this article which cant be covered in Photography and Indian wedding. May be an article Photography in India similar to Photography in Australia is more appropriate a topic with wedding as sub topic. --Docku: What's up? 17:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Or it can as well be a sub topic in Indian wedding. Salih (talk) 05:55, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Indian wedding. This article contains only a few bits of information that are particular to Indian wedding photography, which can be easily be included in that article. Much of the article is close to original reporting/synthesis of different sources (such as news reports on some celebrity weddings) - which is not surprising given the scarcity of reliable sources (books, articles etc) dedicated to the subject.
