This would seem to me to be out of line with WP:RS. Not having the local spelling of BLP for example is a guaranteed way to decrease quality of sources. I regularly de-PROD new BLPs, but usually let the Indian BLPs die, simply because without clear Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, Bengali or Hindi names it is usually impossible to even find sources, let alone assess then. Is everybody happy that the ban has resulted in an improvement in article reliablity and sourcing since it was implemented in Jan 2012? ] (]) 07:00, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

::In ictu oculi, the consensus is to avoid using indic scripts in the lead. There was a long discussion on this but part of the problem with Indian articles is that there are many candidate scripts for the same title. For example, take someone like Surjit Singh Barnala. As the former governor of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and as a former Union Minister, one could easily argue that his name should be rendered in Telegu, Tamil, Devanagari and Gurmukhi. In fact, there are plenty of reliable sources for the rendering of his name in all those scripts. That, obviously, is a bit different from the case of Akio Morita who has only his Japanese script to deal with. For this reason, as well as for many other reasons the consensus was that it is better not to clutter the lead with a plethora of scripts. Though I don't see it in Mr. Barnala's case, I believe that the consensus was that it was ok to use indic scripts in an info box. In which case, you would have no problem finding sources. --] <small>(])</small> 21:14, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
:::RegentsPark, I see what the consensus is and yesterday self-reverted a Bengali film name addition I made before Tito bhai alerted me. Evidently the example ] is an example of where multiple indic names would be possible and therefore the existing guideline is appropriate and useful. But doesn't preclude infobox.
:::In contrast ] is an example where only 2 indic names (Urdu and possibly Malayalam) would be natural, and ] is an example where only 1 indic name would be natural.
:::I would have thought there was a case for an exception e.g. "if there is only 1 clear relevant indic name, and the article has no infobox, then a maximum of 1 indic name, with preferably IPA or temporarily romanization, may be added in brackets. If there is any dispute or attempt to add a second name, then both should be removed". etc.
:::Does the guideline consensus extend to Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Pakistan? ] (]) 04:04, 4 May 2013 (UTC)
::::No. The consensus only applies to India. I have a vague recollection that the whole thing started with Tamil speaking villages in Kerala (or was it Malayalam speaking villages in Tamil Nadu?) or something like that. With Indian articles it is not always clear what language or languages apply and it does make sense to not have to deal with that in the lead. But, the scripts are in the info box (or you can add them in if not), so I don't really see this as a big problem. --] <small>(])</small> 19:17, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Mondipalayam

Notice

The article Mondipalayam has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced and unimproved 15 years. The Bhavani taluk does not exist any more, and the Mylambadi subdivision does not exist. Unverified, run of the mill, very small village. Not enough information to merge.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Bearian (talk) 20:26, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

@Bearian Not sure if you saw the comment for the other proposed deletion of Gandhali, but looks like these villages articles may meet WP:NGEO. I am not quite clear after reading WP:NGEO, but I am guessing that they need to be kept and not deleted. Asteramellus (talk) 22:21, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
I can't emphasize enough that it's very important that you need to put in a source before it can be deprodded. If you insist, and want to be difficult, I'll take it to WP:AfD. Again, the easy-peasy approach is to add a reference. Thank you for improving this project. Bearian (talk) 01:26, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Srinivasa Higher Secondary School, Melaiyur

Notice

The article Srinivasa Higher Secondary School, Melaiyur has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:GNG and WP:NSCHOOL. Several searches with Google and sub-engines show nothing besides social media posts and Wikimapia, which both fail WP:SELFPUB. TL;DR, no sources, no notability.

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
