Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mobile phone companies of India

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was redirect to List of telecom companies in India. Ugh, it looks like somebody moved this in the middle of the AfD. Folks, please don't do that. It just makes it that much more confusing to sort out when closing these discussion. In any case, the gist of this discussion is that there should be one list instead of the myriad ones we've got now. So, I'm going to redirect all of these:

to point to List of telecom companies in India. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:28, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mobile phone companies of India[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

It is a listcruft. There is an almost similar template Template:Telecommunication companies of India and an article Mobile network operators of India, which is about the same thing. M A A Z T A L K 10:14, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with the basically identical article, List of telecom companies in India I do think that Mobile network operators of India could be merged there too. It's basically a duplicate article. In fact there seem to be three basically identical articles, none of them long enough to justify a split. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 12:01, 26 January 2018 (UTC) — WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]

~~Keep~~ – Qualifies per WP:NOTDUP relative to Category:Mobile phone companies of India. The List of telecom companies in India article is already a bit disorganized, so merging there will just add to the soup. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 13:36, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~I don't mind which one is kept, just that there should not be three of them. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 14:04, 26 January 2018 (UTC)~~ — WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]

Why not? North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 15:03, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Because they are all the same subject and mostly the same content, it would make more sense to focus efforts into one or two lists. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 15:25, 26 January 2018 (UTC)~~ — WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]

Struck my !vote upon further consideration. North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:40, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as Duplicate The content that is supposed to be covered here is already covered under Mobile network operators of India which is a much comprehensive article. This just duplicates that info. Hagennos (talk) 06:06, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged both the articles and since the other article is new, have proposed speedy on that. If speedy is done on that then I suggest this AfD to be closed as Keep. Hagennos (talk) 15:24, 28 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

~~Good job. ~~Keep~~ the article in it's current state. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 16:02, 28 January 2018 (UTC)~~ — WP:SOCKSTRIKE[reply]

~~The article was not speedy deleted and this is still a duplicate. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 11:04, 1 February 2018 (UTC)~~[reply]

Delete Exact duplicate of Mobile network operators of India with just a different title. The other article has a much more apt title and is significantly older. Gotitbro (talk) 14:58, 30 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:CFORK. Content is also covered under: List of mobile network operators of the Asia Pacific region#India. Ajf773 (talk) 06:21, 1 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This should be similar to Mobile phone industry in China and similar articles for other countries, but the section with manufacturers was blanked, possibly unintentionally. The other article can then be merged to this one. Peter James (talk) 15:48, 2 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Redirect to List of telecom companies in India; Mobile network operators of India should also be redirected there. We don't need three pages with the exact same list; but I see no reason not to have one. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:54, 3 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested seems a sensible way of handling this. DGG ( talk ) 09:24, 11 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
