• Delete: There could be an article about the culture itself, but this isn't it. It's random bits of trivial pasted together. Oaktree b (talk) 16:39, 9 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep or Merge (into
  WP:PUFFERY), then he/she can rewrite the article to correct the problem or, if unsure how best to make a correction, the article may be tagged with an appropriate template, such as {{Peacock term}}. Deletion isn't the solution in case of the rationale given for this AFD. There are numerous articles of similar type, such as International recognition of the Khojaly massacre, International recognition of the National Transitional Council, International recognition of the Syrian National Council, etc. accepted by the Wikipedia community. --Haoreima (talk) 01:11, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply

  Are you claiming "Meitei culture" is a human rights atrocity, like the Khojaly massacre, where "recognition" has specific set of legal and political connotations and denotations? In that case, how many victims are there of Meitei culture?

  Or are you claiming "Meitei culture" is a body which claims to be the legitimate ruling representative of a nation, as with the NTC and SNC, where "recognition" refers to diplomatic recognition, which carries a very specific set of legal and political connotations and denotations?

• Comment Are there any precedents for this? Upon reading the title, I wondered if Meitei culture was perhaps not universally acknowledged as an independent culture, the way some Native American tribes aren't recognized by the United States government, and this article was about the debate. It seems it's not. Is there a "Recognition of Cheyenne/Uighur/Hakka culture" article? Darkfrog24 (talk) 18:20, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  There's no such precedent, and we should hastily delete this article before it creates such precedent.

  The closest equivalent to the Native American analogy is that the Government of India did not officially recognize Meitei/Manipuri until the Seventy-first Amendment of the Constitution of India, when Meitei was added to the Eighth Schedule. India also has a system for "scheduling" so-called "tribes and castes," but this generally occurs at a level much more granular than ethnicity, broadly constructed, and is reserved for groups considered especially socio-economically disadvantaged.

  From the perspective of Wikipedia, all this is already well-covered elsewhere: the articles linked above, and at Meitei language movement, inter alia. Furthermore, the actual content of the article under discussion, as it stands, does not even cover these issues, but rather consists largely of peacocking.
