Muslim presidents of Indian National Congress

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The topic of "Muslim President" of INC is not something that passes WP:GNG. The party terms itself as "secular". The article talks about presidents in general and then jumps to listing Muslim ones out of those without giving an rationale as to why their religious beliefs mattered. ~~List of Presidents of the Indian National Congress should be something that should be made.~~ President of the Indian National Congress already exists that enlists all "secularly". §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:33, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as per nom. This is not a notable list. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 19:18, 25 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Not quite sure what encyclopedic purpose this list article is supposed to serve. It is not something heavily debated by historians as to who presided over INC and where did they come from or what religion did they profess. It simply fails WP:LISTN. The undue emphasis on secular bit was unwarranted in rationale (even if it was a sectarian group, it'd still be deleted for failing notability). That red link however can make a good redirect.

The emphasis isn't undue actually as we do have Pseudo-secularism well documented. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 05:01, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Still, irrelevant to a deletion discussion. Anup [Talk] 01:26, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: per Anup, I fail to see encyclopedic purpose of this article. Pratyush (talk) 07:54, 27 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As is, this pushes pretty far into WP:SYNTH, unless there is independent sources that concern themselves directly with the religious affiliation of INC presidents. If so, an article similar to List of Presidents by religious affiliation, but for the INC might be more encyclopedic. Smmurphy^(Talk) 21:24, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If somebody could demonstrate that religion was directly relevant to being a president of the Indian National Congress, then a religion column could be easily added to the existing list. But we definitely don't need a spinoff list to single out the Muslims as a separate topic in their own right. Bearcat (talk) 16:18, 29 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Fails WP:LISTN. Totally trivial list. Ajf773 (talk) 04:28, 30 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
