Hindoo

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

Redundant to Hindoo (disambiguation), which lists the exact same text as its first sentence, and thus should be moved over the redirect. Ppp ery 23:21, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Unless someone demonstrates the potential for a separate article, I think it's best to merge with Hindu, and leave a hatnote pointing to the disambiguation page. I don't think the dab page should be moved to the primary title, as at present it receives only about a third as many pageviews as Hindoo. – Uanfala (talk) 23:38, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
- The merge there is fine with me. I was suggesting moving as the outcome that changed things the least. Ppp ery 23:43, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Hindu as per nom. - Kautilya3 (talk) 01:49, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge anything interesting with Hindu and leave redirect —Мандичка^YO 😜 20:14, 29 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Hindu, though I like it as is, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Along the same lines as what Uanfala said, if someone demonstrates the potential for a more substantive separate article, count me in the keep column. — Godsy^(TALK_CONT) 16:07, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sad, because I think this is a wonderful, elegant one-sentence article, but a merge to Hindu#Etymology does seem sensible. --BDD (talk) 19:13, 30 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
