Vedic mythology

- Keep. The article looks a lot better now! It actually reads properly. Acyso 02:04, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'm listing this old nomination. It should have gone to WP:PNT (it's French), but given the name and the word Shiva, it looks like anything salvageable there is likely redundant with something else. Neutral for now until this can be confirmed, but if it is, I'm leaning towards redirecting wherever is the redundant info is. Keep all Bhadanis. --Dmcdevit·t 03:57, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
Delete and Redirect to Vedas. --Jpbrenna 04:15, 20 July 2005 (UTC) (My first ever pro-deletion vote!)[reply]

I didn't realize it was going to add comparative material not found in the Vedas article. Yes, a lot more material exists in French because of Georges Dumézil et al. Let's Keep and get a French Wikipedian to translate the article for us. --Jpbrenna 01:27, 21 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I cahanged my mind after reading the current edit.Nice Work! Hamster Sandwich 05:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep extremely important subject - it describes the foundation (i.e. preceeding mythos) of Hinduism and Zoroastrianism, as well as the link to Proto-Indo-European religion. But translate and wikify at the same time. Unfortunately most of the research in this field (ancient near-eastern mythology) is done in French (historic reasons for France to be the major origin of it). Please note, this would be like VFD'ing Greek mythology because it contained the word Zeus as in Jupiter (Jupiter = Dyeus Pater, Zeus = Dyeus, the same proto-indo-european god that became Tew as-in Tuesday). The Shiva that it describes is the pre-Hindu version of Shiva etc. . ~~~~ 07:34, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The subject may well be worth an article, but I see nothing in the present text that merits preservation. I have no objection to someone else researching and writing something new from scratch, but unless there is a volunteer, this text might as well be deleted. I provided a translation at Vedic mythology so you can judge for yourselves. --Diderot 08:14, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as it has now been rewritten and seems likely to be a viable article. --Diderot 17:07, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Comments- It appears to be a significant topic. I will come back with more comments in a day or two.--Bhadani 10:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I will vote when Bhadani gets back with his edit but I would vote keep for even a decent stub. It appears to be clearly notable in Indian religion see [1].

- More comments: - I have updated the contents with fresh inputs. I will try to give further inputs, if I get some time. I am not recording my vote for "Keep", as I donot want to do so for my own edits. --Bhadani 15:00, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed the original texts, after putting frsh inputs. Please see the articl's tal page.--Bhadani 16:35, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; important and interesting topic, and Bhadani's rewrite is good. Needs further expansion. Antandrus (talk) 15:11, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Bhadani's rewrite and expand further. Capitalistroadster 17:02, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand: Looks ok at its current state. --Ragib 17:46, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep clearly an important topic, the underlying mythology of one of the 4 largest religions in the world.24.215.252.158 18:04, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep after rewrite. Binadot 21:31, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
