Buddhist Jat[edit]

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

Neologism. While Buddhism and Jat people both are notable, this as such is not notable. The article itself tends to narrate bits and pieces of the history of Buddhism and Jat people, and we already have articles on those topics. Dwaipayan (talk) 01:10, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete; the topic does not find significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. Actually, the article would be a perfect candidate for WP:TNT regardless of the subject's notability. Sentences in the article like "Any religion, which preached oneness of God and condemned superstitions and idol worship easily appealed to and was adopted by Jats in large numbers", "When Vedic Hinduism gave place to Pauranic idol worship... Jats became Buddhists ..." and "they don't eat meat, do not wear the sacred thread, and do not stick much for untouchability as other Indians do and respect saints" are not just hopelessly POVy and blatantly false, they also betray a lack of understanding of the influence of Arya Samaj on Jats.[1] Correct Knowledge^«৳alk» 04:02, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It appears to be some sort of essay or personal reflection. MezzoMezzo (talk) 05:19, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete We have an article for Jat people and that covers all religions; we have articles for Buddhism. The article is chock-full of original research and I've never come across an academic study that refers to Buddhist Jats (although if there has never been a single Jat who converted to Buddhism then I would be astonised). If any sources should turn up then the issue can be dealt with in the Jat people article. - Sitush (talk) 16:07, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
