Tirtha and Kshetra

Possible original research. Together these two terms do not equal notability. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 00:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Google books, as always, is your friend. [1]. In essence, the article is about hindu places of pilgrimage, dividing them into two types. Renaming might be possible, but of course, sources are abundant, as can be seen by searching on each term individually, or with "pilgrimage". The article already cited one source; I added a couple to further reading. As far as I can tell, this is the most extensive or only article we have on pilgrimage in Hinduism as a concept, rather than covering particular places or routes, or as part of Pilgrimage in general. Deletion would thus be absurd.John Z (talk) 04:24, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per John Z. What bothers me is the continuous listing of AfDs by the nom (See Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Hinduism) many of which can be sourced by a simple round trip to Google books. ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 05:36, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Tirtha, kshetra are significant terms to describe Hindu pilgrimage places. The compound word Tirthakshetra is also used. I am surprised how such a significant word can be listed for deletion. --Redtigerxyz (talk) 06:22, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply I am aware that tirtha is a notable term. Though equally important, so is the term Kshetra. This article tried to create a new term by anding the the word "and" between two notable terms. While there are two notable terms here, the article, as I came across it, was a medium for original research. While two good artiles could be written about these two subjects, as is, this article still borders on original research. I am open to any comments. Thanks.

Keep, or sensitively done merge of article into Tirtha, and move of some material into Kshetra. ~ priyanath ^talk 15:27, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
