[edit] Gandhigiri

Gandhigiri (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) - (View log)

This article is on a 'newly-coined neologism', a criterion for deletion. Please do not forget that Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It is recommended that some part of this article be merged into Lage Raho Munna Bhai, especially that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services bit. See WP:NEO.

• Merge with Lage Raho Munna Bhai and delete. Sarvagnya 10:06, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

• Delete Merge with Gandhism or Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Just a recent fad which is already fading away from popular culture. --Agεθ020 (ΔT • ФC) 00:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I wouldn't have thought so , but the article seems to be a bout a notable subject, and adequately documented. DGG (talk) 07:06, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
• Keep The article is well referenced and is on a notable subject.Shyamsunder 20:03, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

'Notable subject'? Who/what is the subject of the article? If you think 'Gandhi' is, then why not redirect it to the synonym of the neologism 'Gandhigiri' to 'Gandhism'? You can merge Gandhigiri to Gandhism. That would be the best decision. Defending such newly-coined neologisms would encourage people to start more and more articles on not-at-all notable subjects. -- Ranvir Sena 08:25, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

• Merge with Gandhism/Lage Raho Munna Bhai. Not much notability beyond the film. utcursch | talk 12:10, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

No notability beyond the film. -- Ranvir Sena 12:39, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

• Merge in line with Wikipedia:Avoid neologisms. -Classicfilms 16:14, 7 August 2007 (UTC)_{Note:Merge !vote restored after it was removed by Ranvir Sena}
• Strong keep Yes it is a neologism. But that does not make the article unacceptable per se. It is verifiable from reliable sources. There are articles in newspapers and other media on Gandhigiri, not only using the term Gandhigiri. Avoid neologism states exactly that. --Dwaipayan (talk) 19:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
