"Opinion essay, completely unsourced WP:OR" Taelus (talk) 12:26, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to the Hindu marriage article (which is entitled Vivāha), and add sources or a bibliography to that article. This is, as noted, an essay, and it's overly long because of comments like "Traditions and customs are very much necessary for a society to flourish. A Civilization is said to be complete only when it has certain customs and traditions." A lot of the commentary is the author's opinion ("This proves that ancient men knew today's scientific proofs - Men are intelligent and agressive than Women, While Women have more memory power and emotional than Men; and that Women are easy victims of evil by nature." Nevertheless, there are some facts among these facts. Mandsford (talk) 13:19, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete there are usually facts in any personal essay. I see no use in merging one long unreferenced (and poorly named) article with another long unreferenced article. We end up with an extremely long unreferenced article which is very likely to repeat information within itself. In other words a total mess. Polargeo (talk) 14:24, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the only info that can be considered factual is the quotes from 2 texts, which are public domain, but are used here to promote original research. i suppose someone could put them in wikiquote, but do we even know the quotes are accurate. absolute, total, unsalvageable mess, title makes it a pov fork from other articles on hindu culture.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 16:21, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Apart from OR, this looks like a case of WP:ADVOCACY from the anti-498A/feminism people.--Sodabottle (talk) 17:37, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:NOR, WP:NOT#OR 1 & 3, WP:SOAP 1 & 2, WP:POVFORK. Author states on talk page: "This article... is the general opinion of every individual born in India;" that's quite a statement. User:Mercurywoodrose said it best, "absolute, total, unsalvageable mess." Wine Guy Talk 18:31, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sorry for the procedurally incorrect PROD, I'll try harder to avoid that in the future. I unfortunately didn't think then that there was anything to save, and I agree with the comments above to the same effect. Glenfarclas (talk) 20:37, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
