I don't see any sign that this 15 year period (1981–1996) is called the "Indian Civil War". Moreover, the content of the article is bizarre: it's not a civil war if one side kills many and the other kills one over a 15 year period. Note that other edits from the article's creator suggest that he's referring to the Insurgency in Punjab. Pichpich (talk) 20:54, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

• Delete as unsourced POV nonsense. Mccapra (talk) 21:11, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete The article is one poorly written sentence, and there is zero sourcing.TH1980 (talk) 03:29, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete or Redirect to Partition_of_India#Independence,_population_transfer,_and_violence There is a relevant article on Insurgency in Punjab the creator of this article may wish to read and/or edit. I would suggest redirecting this term to the insurgency article if widespread usage were established but as far as I can make out, to the extent this term is generally used it is referring to violence after the 1947 partition. See, e.g. [https://books.google.com/books?id=OIzreCGlHxIC&pg=PT265&lpg=PT265&dq=%22Indian+Civil+War%22+-wikipedia+india&source=bl&ots=zPVcRBGjPO&sig=ACfU3U30fl_q5lRj4pozsiHF0lFrLyUfwQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiC2sXH9tvpAhXimHIEHfm3BesQ6AEwDHoECAsQAQ#v=onepage&q=%22Indian%20Civil%20War%22%20-wikipedia%20india&f=false Dictionary of Wars]. 24.151.50.175 (talk) 15:57, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete A 15 year long civil war in a country with a population of over a billion people has a two sentence entry. Sure. AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk) 22:29, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete Creator surely has no idea about the definition of "insurgency" and "civil war". Srijanx22 (talk) 06:04, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete There's nothing called Indian Civil War, practically a hoax which is trying to showcase the Punjab insurgency as an Indian Civil War. Also strongly oppose any suggestions of a redirect. Tayi Arajakate _Talk 07:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
• Delete -- If this minute stub had a sensible title, I might have suggested a redirect to Insurgency in Punjab, which covers its purported subject much better. However the very title constitutes original research. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:26, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

• Delete FRINGE and OR would both probably convey more coherence than this has. --Goldsztajn (talk) 06:22, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
• Delete per all of the above. - Flori4nKT A L K 00:26, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
