Proposed merge of 2022 Kanpur Violence into 2022 Kanpur violence[edit]

Same topic. Venkat TL (talk) 09:31, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think you can be WP:Bold and go ahead and merge. >>> Extorc.talk 16:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Anyways you have my Support if we are gonna build consensus. >>> Extorc.talk 16:34, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Extorc I am being lazy here. Also I believe the creators familiar with the sources they used would be able to decide which content/sources to keep in the merged article. Venkat TL (talk) 16:46, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, Thanks. >>> Extorc.talk 16:54, 9 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Bareilly?[edit]

Why is Bareilly being mentioned on this page? Scope? Venkat TL (talk) 10:03, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Related incident, happening in the aftermath of the Kanpur violence.Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 10:26, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Entire violence section of the event article, is related. Bareilly is totally undue here. Please remove. Venkat TL (talk) 11:29, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When WP:RS make a connection, we are allowed to make that connection. And it is not some large material that somehow hampers the article, the single line is necessary and sufficient. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 17:16, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@CapnJackSp everything happening in UP and many states in India are connected with same reasons. Please explain why you think Discussing Bareilly here is necessary and sufficient? Venkat TL (talk) 17:46, 11 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

WP:RS? ANI? "marginally reliable and generally unreliable". (WP:RSP) --- Kautilya3 (talk) 00:58, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Very well, can use a better source. You can pick any out of these :- [1] [2] [3] . Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 08:44, 12 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

Consensus not to merge this article into 2022 BJP Muhammad remarks controversy under the new name 2022 Nupur Sharma protests. Felix QW (talk) 21:19, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I propose merging this article into 2022 BJP Muhammad remarks controversy under the new name 2022 Nupur Sharma protests. There are protests in many localities that can be better covered in one article. The protest in Kanpur is not by far the largest or most significant (?). Sgnpkd (talk) 17:26, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I oppose the proposed new title which would be a WP:BLP violation. Why do you need a new title to merge? -- Kautilya3 (talk) 17:59, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. Article is clearly notable enough and has enough coverage for a separate article. The same request has already been rejected just a few days ago. See the AFD discussion for merge. Captain Jack Sparrow (talk) 05:25, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose and close It was already decided on AfD recently. You should wait for some months before making this proposal. This is the most significant violent incident related to those remarks and is still getting coverage.[4] REDISCOVERBHARAT (talk) 06:06, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
