No such ethnic group; Hindustani means "Indian" Maquahuitltalk! 04:45, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hindustani also refers to the language group consisting of Hindi, Urdu and its dialects, though that has already been canvassed in the Hindustani language article. There is nothing substantial that adds to that article to form the ethnic group page, as I had to remove a lot of OR. I believe that it should be deleted.

  • Redirect to Hindustani language. Reyk YO! 06:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete As per nomination. There is no ethnic group called Hindustani. Hindustani is synonymous with Indian. --Deepak D'Souza (talk • contribs) 06:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • actually, "Hindustani people" is more specifically synonymous with "Indo-Aryan speaking peoples of the 17th to 19th centuries". --dab (𒁳) 10:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, alternatively redirect to Ethnic groups of South Asia. --dab (𒁳) 08:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep If there are 400,000,000 of these people they are obviously an important ethnic group. The article should remain for that reason. But maybe the name of the article should be changed. What is the correct name of the ethnic group that is composed of the people who are native speakers of the Hindustani language that live in the four Indian states of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Haryana (as opposed to the other languages of India that are spoken in the other States of India) if it is not the Hindustani people? Is there another name that is used for these people? Keraunos (talk) 13:32, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and deal with definition problems on the talk page. DGG (talk) 17:13, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Per Keraunos's well reasoned second comment; the largest ethnic group in a country should still have an article.--Serviam (talk) 18:00, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep per Keraunos. 78.146.213.30 (talk) 18:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
