Comparison of Greek and Hindu Gods

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

The article suffers from multiple issues: WP:SYNTHESIS and WP:NOT#ESSAY. Though there have been comparisons between Greek and Hindu deities and mythological figures, in the current form, the article needs a complete rewrite to read like an encyclopaedia entry, rather than an OR essay.

Keep AFD is not cleanup — it is our policy to improve articles in mainspace. If the nominator thinks he can do better then he is free to perform a complete rewrite using ordinary editing tools. Here's a source to help the matter forward. Warden (talk) 20:47, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There is nothing here which is encyclopedic to merit cleanup. Appears to be largely original research, since no inline citations to reliable sources are provided when the article says "this god is like that other god because both have X and Y and do Z." There could be an article comparing two suchreligions, since comparative religion has a long scholarly history, but there does not appear to be salvageable content in this essay.

Delete per nom and Edison. There is nothing salvageable from the current content.--Sodabottle (talk) 21:24, 3 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Unsourced original research, nothing here to save. As well, since most of the article consists of "X and Y both control Z natural phenomenon," I question whether it would need to exist even if sourced and rewritten, since that is why Category:Sky and weather gods etc. exist. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 00:27, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unsalvageable original research/synthesis. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 15:23, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Utterly pointless, and some very glaring mistakes to boot (Yama, for instance, is said to be lord of the Underworld like Hades when in fact he is the God Of Death and Lord Of Justice) I didn't even bother correcting it; what's the point? Also, the vote seems pretty clear, it's time to move on a decision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiraj121 (talk • contribs) 17:52, 5 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Cleanup might be possible but I suspect it would be a massive timesink. A long series of comparisons just invite masses of OR anyway. bobrayner (talk) 08:59, 8 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Funny idea! But seems worth only a fantasy. DELETE it! Or else they will just start comparing Prime Ministers of different countries just for their commonness of being PMs. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 13:08, 9 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete ~~WP:CONTENT FORK~~WP:CONTENTFORK; no reason why this should exist as this is just a compendium of information in a sidebyside comparsion formatCurb Chain (talk) 03:49, 10 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
