- Delete or Merge. Not every segment on Meitei culture needs to have its own separate article when there is already page on Meitei culture where these segments can be merged to. RangersRus (talk) 15:53, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or Merge with Meitei culture#Animals and birds. Reasoning is as above. On a related note, there seem to be a whole bunch of such articles, which are linked to at the top of each the various sections in the article Meitei culture (for example, Animals in Meitei culture, Meitei architecture, Meitei folklore, Birds in Meitei culture, etc.) Most/all seem to heavy on the WP:SYNTH, and most of them were created by the same two or three accounts. Is there some sort of general way of dealing with all of these articles at once, so that we don't need an AfD for each of what must be several dozen articles?

- Yes: WP:BUNDLE. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:33, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with Meitei culture#Animals and birds: As an ATD; the topic is notable, but the article is WP:SYNTH. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:36, 11 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Refocus article to foxes Per discussion on Plants in Meitei culture, PB's belief about SYNTH is that while "foxes in Meitei culture" might be a discrete idea that could merit its own article and "wolves in Meitei culture" might be a discrete idea that could merit its own article, "canids in Meitei culture" would only merit an article if scholars had discussed canids collectively in relation to Meitei culture. Please correct if I am mistaken. Darkfrog24 (talk) 15:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I finally got around to actually reading this article. Almost all of it is about foxes. Why not remove the one subsection that is about a dog and make the article about foxes in Meitei culture? That would resolve the WP:SYNTH issue neatly. Darkfrog24 (talk) 21:20, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. :-) Haoreima (talk) 21:21, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep or merge : I don't mean to be confronting or offending anyone's decision. I see that you are worried about WP:SYNTHESIS. However, I believe that we need not to mention that Canidae is a group of animals including dogs, foxes, wolves, jackals, etc. It's a universal fact. It's a scientific fact. It's an immovable fact. The article is about only dogs, foxes, wolves, jackals, and not about lions or tigers or horses. At the same time, we need not to find sources that mention that Meitei folktales of foxes are parts of the culture of Meitei speaking people alias Manipuri speaking people. I don't think so. Everyone knows folklore, mythology, cinema, theatres of X are the parts of X culture, endorsed by the Wikipedia:You don't need to cite that the sky is blue. At the same time, other than English language sources, I provide other Indian language book links as citations. They already cover the topic extensively in depth. Thank you! :-) --Haoreima (talk) 15:48, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
