I understand this message was meant for me. I also to some extent get what's being conveyed. Nonetheless, what I don't get is that how it is going to keep the article from deletion (i.e. how it is contesting the deletion). Mr T ^(Talk?) ^{(New thread?)} 13:15, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored this talk page. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 13:31, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have withdrawn the nomination on account of it being deleted once and then restored. Mr T ^(Talk?) ^{(New thread?)} 13:35, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a very important date Ekadashi in the Lunar months of Hindu Calender and Putrada Ekadashi in particular (11th day of waxing Moon) is widely observed as a 24 hours fasting rite by most Hindus in India, particularly by people who do not have children observe it seeking blessings of Lord Vishnu for a male child. On Google the name gets 16,000 hits. The books quoted for the article are written by non Indian also and its authenticity is well established. The reasons for its earlier deletion and the type of article that was posted is not clear from the wiki reference. I would appreciate if you please read this article and the related Ekadashi article. The article needs to be retained. Thanks.--Nvvchar. 01:57, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
