Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islam In South Asia

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

Clearly WP:CFORK from numerous articles. Such CFORKs are completely unnecessary to have here. None of the sources treat this subject as the primary or important subject contrary to WP:SIGCOV. Also see past consensus at Talk:Islam in South Asia#Redirect revert and Talk:Islam in South Asia#Requests for comment (an RfC) where consensus was clear that this article should not be created.

Delete - Clear WP:CFORK. I raised the issues at the talk page and was greeted with silence as the response. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 18:40, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Definitely passes WP:GNG. Scholarship treats Islam in South Asia as a stand alone subject. I see that the article author has also made use of excellent academic sources which treat the Islam in South Asia subject independently:
