Seems like unnecessary duplication of Ministry of Communications (India). Recommend that we Redirect to that article. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 17:01, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This article is solely on the list of ministers, ministers of state and deputy ministers who served in the Ministry which underwent various changes since 1947. While the article "Ministry of Communications (India)" is based on the structure of the ministry. I believe a separate page for the list of ministers is necessary. Such pages also exist for other ministerial lists, such as Minister of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare, Minister of Finance (India), etc. --Oritsu.me (talk) 18:11, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Satisfies WP:NLIST (eg BRICS Ministers of Communications annual meeting; perfectly reasonable WP:OKFORK (far too much content to fit into the Ministry article itself); every single member is notable (noting also WP:LISTPURP-NAV). Regards,--Goldsztajn (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment we need one article or the other. It looks like all the information about ministers is already included in the ministry article. This was a redirect until recently and I think the redirect should be restored.Mccapra (talk) 22:21, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The ministry article is about the whole ministry. This is a list of the ministers, all of whom are notable. This is a common split; see for example List of presidents of the United States. This article should probably be renamed to something along the lines of List of ministers of communication of India, à la List of ministers of defence of the Netherlands.

Keep It is the article mentioning list of ministers and it should be their because other articles like Minister of Railways is having this type of article. Ankur0745 (talk) 07:42, 26 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
