Hindutva Propaganda I m confused about how you made your decision to delete the article According to my accounting there were 20 votes to delete 16 to keep and there were 3 keeps from the first version of the AfD i e editors who didn t re cast their votes in this version in addition there was one delete or major rewrite and one leaning towards merge How does that translate into a rough consensus There were 4 admins who votes to delete and 3 to keep To me that doesn t sound like any kind of consensus it s not even much of a threadbare majority If you had closed the vote a few days ago you could have come up with the opposite result And how did you deduce that the article is NPOV etc I agree that the article needs work but it has barely been given a chance with AfDs breathing down its neck from the moment of conception 26 March I recently added references to the article all from internationally recognized journals Last year an entire special issue of the journal Social Epistemology was devoted to the subject of the article In addition two books about the subject of the article were published by Routledge and internationally recognized academic publisher in the last two years My last post at the very end of the AfD gives a flavor of the noteworthiness of the subject I m afraid I don t know what rules you were following and what your own compulsions were in deciding NPOV and OR but I am very perplexed and disappointed Consensus doesn t equal vote counting and I have interpreted the debate as delete If you wish to contest this please take it to DRV this talk page will not be entertaining any more discussion on the matter I won t be arguing about the close but if you want me to restore the references or similar tasks I can PS How do I recover the text of the article especially the references I had added Thanks Daniel has I think replied to this Check his archives and the history of this page I had already got it and replied I ve dearchived it for now I can give you the references but not the text I m afraid WP CSD G4 leaves me in a stickly situation However giving you the references and external links seems like a fair request Where would you like me to copy them to will do Cheers Yes that will be great I think the references I had added were in the Literature section Thanks Done gave you the Literature See also and External links sections as well as a couple of other references from the text see my note Hope that satisfies your request Cheers Thanks Daniel for the references and also for your post on my talk page No problems and all the best Cheers
