Rename this article to "Climate change in India"?[edit]

I suggest to rename this article to "Climate change in India" and then to build it up like the other Climate change in country X articles. We can move some content from Climate change in South Asia as well. If the greenhouse gas section ever gets too big, then we can still split it off into a separate sub-article. What do you think, User:Chidgk1? EMsmile (talk) 13:48, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly India is big enough for a "Climate change in India" article. I am not likely to do much on any of those - so your call Chidgk1 (talk) 08:56, 7 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll go ahead with the renaming then. Are you planning to do more work on the suite of "Greenhouse gas emissions by country X", Chidgk1? I think it's initially better to have just just "climate change in country X" articles, and only when the greenhouse gas emissions part gets too detailed, to split that off into a sub-article.

@EMsmile: I've moved this as you requested, can you clean it up to match the new title? Hut 8.5 20:30, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Hut 8.5. Done. EMsmile (talk) 13:45, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Adding climate content to the India article[edit]

It looks like I just got approval from someone deeply involved in the India article (an FA article) to add some sentences about climate change. This is a real break-through (there was opposition at first for this article and also e.g. for Bangladesh and Australia). If we get some good content into the India article then this could set a precedence for other “big” country articles to also include climate change content... so please help me get it right and take a look at the India talk page here. I plan to propose to take some content and references from this article (Climate change in India) to make it easier and less time consuming.EMsmile (talk) 13:47, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
