Delete no claim that any of these controversies are notable.--victor falk 11:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The references were missing due to a syntax error. Corrected--inlap 12:26, 28 October 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.2.15.94 (talk) [reply]
~~Delete~~ NeutralAfter the correction of the syntax error, sources do seem to show an amount of debate about scientific plagiarism in India.--victor falk 12:27, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep pending rewrite. The way it is written now is rather OR-ish and a bit POV. I think a chronological documenting of this topic would work better and look less like a comparative study. It is also not an indisputable given that unattributed appropriation of material -- "plagiarism" -- is a bad thing, and thus this article, as it stands, is a little one-sided, especially in light of the fact that India has no anti-plagiarism institution. Also, it clearly needs a move for capitalization, but it might also warrant a name change. - Che Nuevara 13:33, 28 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, source much better, and change the title-- "scientific fraud in India" there are, as for any country, a number of examples, beyond the ones mentioned here. . I am like others here not altogether convinced of the care taken in the writing of the present article.DGG (talk) 22:55, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Neutral Keep & rename per DGG & CheNuevara. Scientific fraud in India sounds good to me.--victor falk 23:36, 29 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Where notable and appropriate merge into article about the persons (or universities). Scientific fraud is not limited to India of the 2000s and this semi-random collection is not notable per se. Also OR, list of unrelated events, low to no context, low encyclopedic value.

Delete - I think this should have been speedied. Just look at the title and you will see the author didn't even capitalize India; generally that will show that it isn't a good article. Also, someone blanked the page, and I just reverted it. jj137 (Talk) 17:13, 3 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Move Agree with others that it should be moved to Scientific plagiarism in India with modifications. Should not be merged with the concerned Universities though, as these are individual controversies not university related. However, the article has historic value and hence should be kept. inlap (Talk) 07:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and redirect to Scientific plagiarism in India per above. The final article looks fair well-sourced. Bearian 17:21, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
