Indian Marxism

Article contains no actual info, just a few lines copied from the CPI(M) article. Superfluos to the category:Communist parties in India. Soman (talk) 08:09, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - no sources. Primarily a list, anyway. Auroranorth (!) 13:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, since India is a country with a population of 1 billion and marxism is a pretty popular ideology, I'd guess the Indian marxism movement is quite significant. The article isn't that good but that's no reason to delete it. 96T (talk) 15:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This is a stub of a notable topic. This article needs to be greatly built upon. Also, an article is never superfluous to a category; they serve completely different functions. --Lquilter (talk) 20:32, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There absolutely should be an article on this topic, and if there isn't another one already then it should be this one (it probably needs a rename, though). Everyking (talk) 04:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this is a well known issue. There should be no problem with expanding the article.Osli73 (talk) 09:50, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I doubt that there could be a meaningful expansion. There is certainly a lot of history of the Marxist movement in India, but the question is whether a specifically 'Indian Marxism' exists. There are of course a wide range of Marxist writers from India, but any discussion into trying to portrayed them as a bloc would be grossly OR. --Soman (talk) 10:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So in addition to other changes, it should be moved to Marxism in India, then? --Lquilter (talk) 14:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, considering that the present article contains 0 info for such an article (its just a cut-n-paste job from CPI(M) article), there is little real difference between moving this one and rewriting it completly or just starting a completly fresh article. If noone wants to do the rewrite in the coming days, I suggest let the afd go through, and create article(s) like Communism in India, Marxism in India, Socialism in India, etc. at a later stage. --Soman (talk) 14:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This is a notable topic.The stub can be developed in the future. --Shyamsunder 06:40, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If the article is kept, any reason not to move it to Marxism in India? 96T (talk) 17:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That seems to be the better title & the current content seems like a reasonable stub for an article with that title. --Lquilter (talk) 18:27, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
