There is already a lengthy article on this festival at
Ganesh Chaturthi. Unfortunately, I only realized this after I had spent a considerable amount of time copyediting the original version
[1]. Any material in this article that could add to
Ganesh Chaturthi should probably be merged to it and this one made into a redirect. Another possibility is to merge it into the
Pune article.

There is difference between Ganesh Chaturthi and Sarvjanik Ganoshotsav.Sarvjanik Ganoshotsav "was started" by Tilak, whereas Ganesh Chaturthi is something which was/is already there from centuries. "Sarvjanik" Ganoshotsav was started in last century.

Copy-pasted from
WT:IN. Abhi, yes, but there exists a good section in
Ganesh Chaturthi on Tilak's contribution to the way the festival is celebrated. The Ganesh Chaturthi article is quite small (for a festival of such importance and magnitude, and considering that there is likely to be no dearth of sources), and splitting the article further will not really be of much use, when the same content can be included coherently in the main article itself. Tilak's contribution to the way the festival is celebrated is so huge that the
Ganesh Chaturthi article will be incomplete without it :) Lynch7 16:52, 22 January 2012 (UTC)reply
so then should it not be merged with the article, where someone looking for info about it can see all the relevant info on the same page? Im not ready to vote on it yet, but im leaning towards merge.

Merge any salvageable material and redirect to
Ganesh Chaturthi. The Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav is an integral part of Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations in various parts of the nation. Having a separate article makes no sense, since the information is more effective in the Ganesh Chaturthi article. The festival itself and the Sarvajanik Ganeshotsav are almost inseparable in many parts of the country, so information about these celebrations should be in the main article instead of causing confusion to readers.

Comment: I guess a
WP:RM is inappropriate here; we certainly don't want the
Ganesh Chaturthi article completely replaced. A merge request or probably an
WP:AFD would have been better I guess. Lynch7 12:59, 27 February 2012 (UTC)reply
