Lack of notability for the topic to have its own article. Chronikhiles ^(talk) 07:38, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Rama. This article doesn't even mention Ram or Rama until the fourth paragraph. This article might have something to do with an important subject in Hinduism but it doesn't clearly indicate its own topic. As a second choice, just delete. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:54, 5 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The article isn't about Ram: all of the avatars are avatars of Vishnu, since Ram doesn't have any avatars (he just is an avatar). A redirect would be inaccurate. AryKun (talk) 09:17, 27 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Does this help determine what this article is supposed to be about? Arbitrarily0 ^(talk) 09:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete this article is mistitled; from what I can tell, it's a list of reasons that Vishnu reincarnated as an avatar. It's a fork of Vishnu and avatar; we probably do need a separate article on Vishnu's avatars, but this is not it. AryKun (talk) 12:32, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Metropolitan90. There is possibly a notable topic here but as it stands this isn’t an encyclopedia article and it is very difficult to discern what the topic is and why all the detail covered in the article matters. As written it’s very in-universe and I think redirecting to the purported main topic would be best until someone can take another run at this. Mccapra (talk) 12:39, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
the title isn't a particularly likely search term, so a delete would be better than redirect imo. AryKun (talk) 12:53, 22 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Out of the two cited sources on the Hindi version of this article, one leads to nowhere and the other does not have online preview for the cited pages. There does not seem to be coverage of the subject topic either. The title does not appear to be a likely searched term, so deletion seems to be the only viable choice.
