Talk:Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav

Duplicate article

There is already a lengthy article on this festival at Ganesh Chaturthi. Unfortunately, I only realized this after I had spent a considerable amount of time copyediting the original version [1]. Any material in this article that could add to Ganesh Chaturthi should probably be merged to it and this one made into a redirect. Another possibility is to merge it into the Pune article.

This should be merged to Ganesh Chaturthi. Much of the information is already included in Ganesh_Chaturthi#Lokmanya_Bal_Gangadhar_Tilak.27s_Revival_efforts_in_Maharashtra. Lynch 7 11:55, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Merger & redirect to Ganesh Chaturthi is a good option. -Animeshkulkarni (talk) 14:13, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There is difference between Ganesh Chaturthi and Sarvjanik Ganoshotsav.Sarvjanik Ganoshotsav "was started" by Tilak, whereas Ganesh Chaturthi is something which was/is already there from centuries. "Sarvjanik" Ganoshotsav was started in last century. AbhiSuryawanshi (talk) 16:41, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Copy-pasted from WT:IN. Abhi, yes, but there exists a good section in Ganesh Chaturthi on Tilak's contribution to the way the festival is celebrated. The Ganesh Chaturthi article is quite small (for a festival of such importance and magnitude, and considering that there is likely to be no dearth of sources), and splitting the article further will not really be of much use, when the same content can be included coherently in the main article itself. Tilak's contribution to the way the festival is celebrated is so huge that the Ganesh Chaturthi article will be incomplete without it :) Lynch 7 16:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ganesh Chaturthi is one day of Hindu Year. Its "Chaturthi" (Fourth Day of Month Bhadrapad).
Ganeshotsav is 08 to 10 Day long Celebration,which "starts" on Ganesh Chaturthi.AbhiSuryawanshi (talk) 12:17, 23 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

so then should it not be merged with the article, where someone looking for info about it can see all the relevant info on the same page? Im not ready to vote on it yet, but im leaning towards merge.Beefcake6412 (talk) 06:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav → Ganesh Chaturthi – 10:20, 27 February 2012 (UTC) Requested move added by User:Psubhashish

Merge any salvageable material and redirect to Ganesh Chaturthi. The Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav is an integral part of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in various parts of the nation. Having a separate article makes no sense, since the information is more effective in the Ganesh Chaturthi article. The festival itself and the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav are almost inseparable in many parts of the country, so information about these celebrations should be in the main article instead of causing confusion to readers.

Comment: I guess a WP:RM is inappropriate here; we certainly don't want the Ganesh Chaturthi article completely replaced. A merge request or probably an WP:AFD would have been better I guess. Lynch 7 12:59, 27 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
