The Leadership of Mahatma Gandhi[edit]

Self-nomination: I the creator of this page nominate it for deletion. The following are my reasons:

(1) This article was created to curb the size of the main Mahatma Gandhi article - there is no specific chapter of Gandhi's life being tackled here (for example, there is a separate Military career of Hugo Chávez, but this article contains sections of generalizations and analysis of Gandhi's life).

(2) A lot of the data is mainly different perspectives and analyses of Gandhi - these should be dealt with in the main article. A lot of it is POV language, and there is a lot of fancruft present. All this contravenes Wikipedia norms.

(3) There should not be a major deviation from the main article, which is an FA. The existence of this article impedes the purpose of the main one.

Comment: WP:CSD#G7 does not apply here as other editors have also edited it. --Gurubrahma 04:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The other edits were very minor touchups; I think a G7 is still appropriate here. --Aaron 07:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I believe Rama's Arrow is planning to move relevant information to the main article itself. --Gurubrahma 04:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete. Author's wish. Other users/bot who contributed to the article made only minor edits. utcursch | talk 07:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete if the other edits to the article are just minor touch ups, a speedy is still appropriate. If in doubt, we can always ask them to come here and verify if they agree. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete per above, tagged as such -- Thesquire (talk - contribs) 06:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, it doesn't meet the speedy criteria because it appears the material was written by different people, just moved into this article, though correct me if I'm wrong. The topic is worthy, as a subtopic of an important person of being covered in it's own article. It is an important facet of the man. If it is POV, NPOV it. That said Rama's arrow, if you truly think there is nothing useful here after moving out what you want to keep, then delete is fine. - Taxman ^Talk 18:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
