Requested move 16 May 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: moved. I am moving the current broad-concept article to Dravya (philosophy) for anyone who may want to selectively merge content into this article. SSTflyer 09:06, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Dravya (Jainism) → Dravya – There is no other Dravya in destination, then no need for disambiguation. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 17:08, 16 May 2016 (UTC) --Relisted. — Amakuru (talk) 22:19, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- Oppose - target Dravya is a more general article. Are all these uses related only to Jainism? Dravya in Vaiśeṣika Sūtra isn't Jain is it? In ictu oculi (talk) 07:11, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Relisting comment @Capankajsmilyo: there is already an article at the target you're proposing for this move, which is probably on a more general topic than this one. What are you suggesting we do with that other article? — Amakuru (talk) 22:19, 24 May 2016 (UTC)
- The other "more general" article contains sourced information about Jainism only. Nothing else is sourced there. So it can be easily merged, removing unsourced info. -- Pankaj Jain Capankajsmilyo (talk · contribs · count) 03:18, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
- Support and merge per nom. If RS support the use of the term outside Jainism, the article can broaden to include that, and limit the Jainism material to a section, Buddhism (or whatever) material to another exception, etc. There's not rationale under WP:SUMMARY, WP:SPLIT, WP:SPINOFF, and WP:CONTENTFORK for there to be a rich article on Dravya in Jainism, and a miserably stub purporting to be a broader article, that actually sources nothing but rehash of the Jainism-specific material. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 16:00, 25 May 2016 (UTC)
