The result was Procedural close‎. I'm going to do a procedural close here. The nominator has been blocked as a sockpuppet and most of the participants here are brand new accounts. No penalty against a return visit to AFD for a new discussion but let's restart it afresh. Liz Read! Talk! 23:30, 15 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The recent comments by few religious leaders, which kerala as a whole took it as communal and non secular , should not be given weightage in Wikipedia here. so i find it is non sense to add as an article. This is a Wikipedia article on communal speeches of 2-3 islamic speakers. Also note that in the article Onam it is said that it is a Hindu festival. From the point of islam, celebrating festivals of other religion is not allowed. So creating an article on specific to Onam based on 2-3 Islamic speeches is non sense. Also article used unreliable source such as sunnivoice.net and only news links of Islamic preachers making communal speeches on celebrating Onam

"There is no legal text compatible to this produced even after five centuries from the region, but some preachers with the influence of Arab cultural Islam and its wide influence in the various realm create commotions through unexpected comments against Onam celebrations of Muslim communities. The idea of branding of other cultures as un-Islamic was introduced as part of ‘reform’, but now it silently lingers even the tongue of traditionalists."

These are comments passed by one or two islamic preachers and never to be considered the view point of all Muslims of Kerala. They have rejected these as seen from the article.

The religious organization of muslims in kerala , which represent 95% of muslims in kerala are : Sunni organizations (AP or EK).

These organizations never said 'officially' any comment on onam. Usually it is through fatwa Muslims organizations declare their views. No one released a fatwa.

Mere communal comments of some communal leaders cannot be considered as a mass view and never to be the part of wikipedia as an article

This is a religious promotional article , only made from 2-3 religious preachers speeches — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fsrvb (talk • contribs) 15:39, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you can prove a theory that few or none believe, Wikipedia is not the place to present such proof.

The article suggested for deletion is notable and would avoid vandalism and there is enough reason to create a separate article. Fsrvb, who created an account on 28 July 2024, moved the page Onam and Islam whose name at the time was Onam and Muslims to Onam and Islamic Preachers. Fsrvb also suggested the article for deletion. The page Onam is protected for an indefinite period because the topic is controversial. There has been vandalism on the article Onam several times. The vandals were removing the word related to Hinduism to remove mentioning the association of Onam with Hindus and Hinduism(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) Such vandalism or disruptive edits were reverted by adding the term which shows the topic's association with Hinduism or Hindus (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). Similar edits (1, 2, 3, 4) have been done by Fsrvb. Hence this suggestion for deletion of the article is part of vandalism of removal of content.Neutralhappy (talk) 22:49, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

keep. I've often come across news reports in the local language about speeches made about Onam and Muslims over the years. If the page remains active, it's likely that more related content may continue to be added. CheramanMale (talk) 10:33, 13 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
