Requested move 4 December 2016 edit

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved. There is a consensus that this article should be expanded to cover the whole of the South Indian diaspora, as opposed to just focusing on Tamils. (non-admin closure) RGloucester 15:44, 21 December 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • Not clear what's going on here It seems that this article was created by IP as Tamil Nadu diaspora last week, copied from Tamil diaspora??. Winnan moved it to South Indian diaspora without discussion, the IP author couldn't move articles (IPs can't) so tried a cut paste.
But having said that, there should be an article on South Asian diaspora (we don't have one, South Asian Diaspora capital D is a redirect to Desi) using sources such as Routledge Handbook of the South Asian Diaspora by Joya Chatterji, David Washbrook. So rather than a move discussion editors should be discussing what articles are needed and their scope. In ictu oculi (talk) 08:12, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I would suggest rather moving, we could make it as South Indian diaspora, as South Indian often has a unique Madrasi identity with Dravidian culture and languages which totally different from Desi (North Indian) communities. Aldo using Desi for South Asian diaspora is a mere Bollywood invention., as a South Indian we never call us Desi in Canada, so as other Sri Lankan, Bhutan, Maldivian communities.

Other user seem created South Indian Tamil diaspora for Tamil people from the states of Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, and Andaman Islands. I will make it as for all four South Indian communities or Dravidian prople Winnan Tirunallur (talk) 14:22, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
South Indian diaspora should mainly include the already covered Telugu diaspora, Tamil diaspora (see Wikipedia:SS) and yet to be created articles from Category:Malayali diaspora and Kannada people (there are more groups though). So I think the current title is right and the copy-paste move should be addressed. Ugog Nizdast (talk) 17:19, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
I agree with you, it is better to keep the title and add contents from Telugu, Kannada, and Malayali diaspora info in it. Winnan Tirunallur (talk) 22:54, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
