Comment. This is an article about a deity, so neither NBUILD nor NCORP seem to have much relevance here. – Uanfala (talk) 17:12, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Uanfala: NBUILD/NCORP doesn't apply on temples? » Shadowowl | talk 18:13, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they do. But the article is not about a temple. Its first two sentences are: Banjari is one of the popular Hindu deity in Orissa. There are many Banjari temples present in Western and Southern part of Orissa.. – Uanfala (talk) 20:16, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, I see. It is a failed attempt to create a disambiguation page. » Shadowowl | talk 20:30, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy keep. The articles has oscillated in its history between the ethnic group and the deity, and the current version clobbers the two together. The ethnic group appears to be the same as the Banjara, so it appears best to restrict the current article to be about the deity, then move it to Banjari (deity) and make Banjari a disambiguation page (with the addition of an entry for the language). There's no prejudice to the article getting renominated, provided the notability of the deity is challenged. I'm not in the business of evaluating the notability of deities, but a web search reveals plenty of results about various temples dedicated to it, so I'm not particularly worried about having such an article in mainspace (despite its poor present shape). – Uanfala (talk) 21:01, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with the speedy keep; this should be a DAB page. The page probably needs a hist-split for the deity. [1] is a reference for the existence of a Banjari deity. power~enwiki (π, ν) 21:09, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per arguments made by Uanfala Accesscrawl (talk) 07:41, 17 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep per arguments above and failed WP:BEFORE. WP:SNOW also applies. gidonb (talk) 17:31, 19 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
