Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Various Communist/Leftist Parties in India

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was merge to List of communist parties in India. This is also a procedural close per WP:SK1, because the nomination is only suggesting merging, a non-deletion action. Ultimately, the entire consensus here is to merge. If desired, a name change as suggested by User:Carrite can occur independently of the AfD process. Regarding User:Mikeman67's notion that the page should be deleted without a redirect, this is unlikely to be feasible per Wikipedia's attribution rules relative to a merge occurring (see Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia). Since both articles have revision histories dating back for years, a WP:HISTMERGE is unlikely to be performable. (non-admin closure) NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 00:35, 26 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into List of communist parties in India. Shyamsunder (talk) 10:33, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge though this doesn't really need an AfD as far as I can see. Just WP:BEBOLD and do it. Keresaspa (talk) 16:09, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. Obviously no reason to maintain this page when there's already a list of communist parties, and I'd think this qualifies for a PROD at least after a content merger. But the page should still be deleted, without a redirect, considering the awkwardly written page title. mikeman67 (talk) 16:14, 20 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Merge is the right answer, with a renaming to List of communist and leftist parties in India. This is an extremely useful navigational index list, under no circumstances should it be deleted. Carrite (talk) 16:33, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
