WP:POVFORK of Cow protection movement, an article which concerns all activisim and violence related to this subject prior 2014. This issue has been receiving more attention since 2014 and this is why Cow vigilante violence in_India_since_2014 was created per consensus on talk page. But anything before 2014 already exists at Cow protection movement. ML^talk 03:16, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and then redirect to either Cow vigilante violence in_India_since_2014 or Cow protection movement. Already covered in either of these articles. Suggestion to delete this article and rename Cow vigilante violence in_India_since_2014 to this title.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 04:48, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete As above. Sincerely, Masum Reza^☎ 08:23, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Article talks of the violence and I fear that may overburden the cow protection article. I would recommend renaming it to include the time period, however. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 10:42, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Rsrikanth05: Other article is just 55k bytes and Cow vigilante violence in India was created after cutting and pasting from that article in violation of WP:COPYVIO. What happened has happened, at best it will just increase to 100k bytes which is still lower than the requirement of WP:CFORKING which is done after gaining consensus than overriding the existing consensus against a POVFORK.

It is not a violation of copyright, as the source is mentioned in the edit summary here [1]. Soarwakes (talk) 06:46, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom and WP:POVFORK. --RaviC (talk) 19:21, 27 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - As far as I know terms like "cow vigilante" has only been used for the phenomenon occurring since 2014, for which an article already exists. Its page title was chosen after due discussion. So, I don't see why this new article has been created. There are 8 citations in the lead of the present article, none of which use a term like "cow vigilante". So this seems like a piece of WP:OR. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:49, 28 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

References only after 27th one cover the events after 2014, but references 1 to 26 cover the events before 2014. It is not just 8 r4eferences as you claimed. Soarwakes (talk) 06:39, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see it. Please provide a quotation from a reliable source for cow-related uses of terms "vigilante" or "vigilantism" for the period before 2014. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 07:41, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Article mentions Holi Riot, that is vigilantism. Then article mentions about cow protection societies, those are organised group of vigilantes in 1800s section. Even in 1900s sections most violences are by vigilantes. This article hardly makes any mention of Govt punishment of people for cow slaughter, so it is about vigilante violence. Soarwakes (talk) 08:10, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What you just said is precisely what is called WP:OR. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 08:28, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article on events after 2014 Cow vigilante violence in India since 2014 is standing since long, but there were many incidents of Cow vigilante violence in India before than that dating back to centuries. This article covers it. It is spinned off from Cow protection movement, but the parent article is too big and the child article is big enough to merit its own article.

Delete per nomination. The subject is almost identical to other ones about India and cows. A subsequent merge (of whatever can be salvaged as unique) or a redirect (to Cow protection movement) would not be amiss. -The Gnome (talk) 10:18, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
