Chandraatri[edit]

Delete an admin declined an editor's speedy request, apparently thinking that this is worth saving. Reasonable minds may differ on that - this one liner provides virtually no context or content. And of course, no sources. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 20:47, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as nonsense--speedily if possible. Drmies (talk) 21:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Propose that it be redirected to Chandra because

it says here Atri#Trinity test of Anasuyaa that Chandraatri is the son of Atri and Anasuya
it says here Chandra#legends that Chandra is the son of the same two deities
the page Anasuya backs this up
Chandraatri is "Chandra" plus "atri", and I imagine that its literal meaning could be "chandra, son of atri"
Soma, mentioned in the article, is identified as being the same deity as chandra (see both articles)
"Chandatreya" is identified as being the same deity as soma in this article, and an atreya is a decendent of atri, accoring to that article, i.e. chandra-atreya, i.e chandra, descendant of atri

- and therefore I think that Chandraatri is a variant spelling of Chandra (i.e. a variant transliteration from Hindi or whatever language these things were originally written in, i.e. because they won't be using roman script). Needs someone who actually knows something about this to confirm this. James500 (talk) 21:02, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And if this page is deleted, it may or will be necessary to point the link to Chandraatri on the page atri at chandra. James500 (talk) 22:09, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

And looking at the contributions for the editor who created this article, he was editing the article atri immediately beforehand, so I think that he saw Chandraatri red-linked on that page, clicked on it and said "this is what Chandraatri means".

- Don't you need someone who knows who Soma is, and why they are not called Soma but something else, one of two things? *after clicking Soma* aha! Now I see. Grammar is a beautiful thing. Drmies (talk) 21:09, 23 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article is not notable, even if the deity is, the article does not meet Wikipedia standards. There is no content to Merge, though if the creator has information, he is free to add it to a current article, or use the Sandbox until the article is ready. May be speedy deletable under A1 or A7.

- The fact that the page is admittedly no good as an article does not preclude it being redirected if Chandraatri is an accepted/acceptable/commonly used variant spelling or variant name for Chandra, or even if it is a plausible misnomer (if I understand what CSD R3 says correctly). My understanding of AfD is that if it is deleted it cannot be redirected.James500 (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Regarding CSD A7 - looking at the contributions of the user who wrote this article, I can't find an explicit request that the article be deleted, and he has not blanked the page (though he has created the page chandratre).James500 (talk) 20:51, 28 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
