List of Swaminarayan articles[edit]

A list of topics in alphabetical order is completely redundent by a category Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 19:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

have deleted the category - hence the criteria for proposed deletion no longer exists Wheredevelsdare (talk) 19:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- no, the category still exists: Category:Swaminarayan sect of Hinduism. What is the reason you prefer to keep this list over using the category? (or that you would even prefer to delete the category? Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well i misunderstood wht you were saying. Now I get you. The list is required as there as lots of pages such as Nara-Narayana and Akshardham (Philosophy) which are related to Bhagwan Swaminarayan, but not in the category, Swaminarayan sect of Hinduism. Such articles can be placed on the list - which is a very preliminary one at the moment. Wheredevelsdare (talk) 23:52, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - They can also be easily placed in the category. Just add the category with the other ones at the bottom of the article. See WP:CAT Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 00:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - There are some articles indirectly related to the topic. Articles, such as Aarti are on Hinduism on the whole (Not only the Swaminarayan Sect), hence it would not be appropriate to put these articles into the category - but they can easily be put on a list.

Keep. Whether or not a redundant category exists is irrelvent. According to Wikipedia:Categories, lists, and series boxes, they can co-exist harmoniously. The proper place for this discussion is Wikipedia talk:Categories, lists, and series boxes to get the guideline changed, not to nominate for deletion lists that conform to the current guideline.

- They can co-exist if the list has info different from the category, which this doesn't Delete Secret ^account 02:14, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Catogorizing will have exactly the same effect as this list. Pastordavid (talk) 20:24, 24 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The present list is just an list of the articles in alphabetic oder, and is no more useful than the category. DGG (talk) 17:37, 26 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
