Anjana

Next to no information exists on Anjana in Hinduism other than how she gave birth to Hanuman, which is more relevant to, and discussed in, his article. The article consists solely of "Mother of Hanuman", and a message asking that the article not be deleted in order to prevent red links, and something to do with preventing confusion with the article Anjani.

Keep – I am sorry, but I have to ask, have you read the discussion page concerning this article and the history of the editor's Mahitgar request for NOT deleting? Please review and possibly reconsider Afd nomination. Thanks. Shoessss | Chat 23:34, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The article has no discussion page (and none has been deleted). The article was merged into Hanuman a while back due to lack of content, and was recreated unilaterally by Mahitgar. Laïka 23:46, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Although a poor article at current, this nevertheless seems to have the potential for expansion with sources. Several articles appear to discuss Anjana beyond a name-check: this in particular, but also here. I do not currently have full copies of these articles, so further examination is clearly required, but it looks as though sufficient material for an article might be available even without looking for Hindi sources (of which there are doubtless more).

Comment - I'm sorry I mis-spoke. I meant the articles history page. New fingers….old brain :-). The editor is a great contributor - Never any hint of problems and always provided necessay information. What I mean is that this article may be better served in talking with the editor, rather than nominating for Afd at this time. Thanks. Shoessss | Chat 00:00, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I've added one version of the story of Anjana, with reference. This can be expanded, but is certainly enough to keep now. Also removed the nonsense 'notice' on the page. ~ priyanath talk 15:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
To Keep or no to keep I leave it to learned majiority of english wikipedia.But not having that article had created problem for us at Marathi Language Wikipedia due to illinformed interwiki bots and illinformed enthusiasts follower of Singer Anjani had been inserted her photograph in Marathi Language article referring to Mother of Hanuman.

Some thing may be nonsense to one can make sense to some else so whetether civility does not ask to mind the langugae during the discussion?

Thanks any way
