Rawat etc

About this - I disagree. The current one is entirely sourced to Twitter and to India Today, while the one I redirected to cites the New York Times, The Hindu and the Financial Express, in addition to IT and the tweet. Twitter is not normally considered a reliable source, while NYT and The Hindu are considered very reliable. W. Tell DCCXLVI (^{talk to me!}/_c) 13:18, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

I think I will revert. No subsequent edits of substance have been made. W. Tell DCCXLVI (^{talk to me!}/_c) 13:21, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Holding off till end of merge discussion. W. Tell DCCXLVI (^{talk to me!}/_c) 13:27, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

@Balablitz @Wilhelm Tell DCCXLVI The consensus is clear to merge. I used the default merge target only because it had a better (in my opinion) title. If any of you want the merge target to be something other than what was proposed in the discussion, then let me know. I think we all should spend our time in merging the useful information that is not common, to create a better article. It might get on WP:ITNC also. Venkat TL (talk) 14:38, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Venkat TL, I don't mind the new title, sourcing was my main concern. The current article has caught up to the one I'd written so it's fine. I'm going to be busy for a while now, I'll expand if I have time later. W. Tell DCCXLVI (^{talk to me!}/_c) 14:42, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for the kind reply. The sourcing could be merged. Venkat TL (talk) 14:48, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
