Anti-Hindu sentiment → Hinduphobia – The title should be WP:CONCISE.

Moreover, the ngram results show "Hinduphobia" is a better title.

Oppose Not scholarly and also not common. ArvindPalaskar (talk) 10:37, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
on what basis you claim that? PPicazHist (talk) 11:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
~~Support:~~^{already voted - he/she is the proposer} The google news [8] show its a widely used term. PPicazHist (talk) 11:20, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Scholarly writing of Rajiv Malhotra in his book Hinduphobia: A Critique of Wendy Doniger’s Erotic School of Indology. PPicazHist (talk) 11:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Rajiv Malhotra is a Hindutva ideologue and not a scholar. You should read WP:RS. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose - Hinduphobia and Anti-Hindu sentiment are vastly different concepts. "Hinduphobia" is a neologism invented by the Hindutva right wing to limit the academic discourse on many topics and has been rejected by scholars as being both ahistorical and inappropriate. ^[1] The sources cited by OP are a testament to this as most of them are from hindu pressure groups or Hindu nationalist aligned Godi media. - Ratnahastin (talk) 11:38, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - I do not think that Ngrams really do support "Hinduphobia", if you compare "anti-Hindu" with "Hinduphobia" it is clear that "Hinduphobia" and "Hinduphobic" are rare terms in English; a more common term is "anti-Hindu".^[9] -- Toddy1 (talk) 12:34, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Toddy1 Hmm, I agree with you. Your ngram results are better. Thanks !
- We would need some good years for this term to be popularized. This was just in the mainstream news today, so I thought it would be good. @Ratnahastin Not all news portals are Godi media, are they?
- I take my proposal back, any editor can close this discussion.

I said "most" not "all". - Ratnahastin (talk) 13:04, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Moreover, You must know that even Godi media is a term coined by the leftists. I neither support lefts,not the rights. I support only truth. @Ratnahastin, Let's not escalate it further PPicazHist (talk) 13:07, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On the layout

Would re-structuring the article into a 'History' and 'Modern' section (or something like that) comply with layout guidelines and be a good idea? KnowDeath (talk) 12:06, 16 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Dunutubble What is your reason for marking the Fiji section as unbalanced? KnowDeath (talk) 08:02, 17 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
