You've removed the infobox [1] why? It is present in other similar articles - Latin script. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 19:05, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
I noticed you've been doing some great work recently cleaning up some fluff and nonsense having to do with various topics, most of them South Asian—great job by the way—but I think some of the content you removed from Official scripts of the Republic of India can conceivably be merged into an article titled Writing systems of South Asia or even South Asian writing (or similar). A page titled Writing systems of India exists but only as a redirect to Brahmic scripts; this is not correct, as many scripts used presently (e.g. Nastaliq, Latin) and historically ( Indus Valley Script) do not belong to the Brahmic family of languages. Overall I think you're correct that the article Official scripts of the Republic of India is poorly conceived, but in investigating the coverage of it and related topics during the AfD discussion, I realized there is surprisingly not really any article that talks about writing in South Asia as a whole, independent from a script/language (family) (e.g. Indus Valley Script, Brahmic scripts) or a historical or modern-day culture or polity (e.g. Official scripts of the Republic of India itself). Thus, as I imagine it, the article would serve to house not just a list of languages ordered by script family, but also a section on the history of writing in South Asia—surprisingly, as best as I can tell, there's no Wikipedia article that really covers this as distinct from other topics (please correct me if I'm wrong)— or other topics that take a broad view of writing on the subcontinent (e.g. sociocultural or religious dimensions).
There is ample precedent for such an article, e.g. Writing systems of Southeast Asia, Writing systems of Africa, Writing systems of Formosan languages.
Similarly, the template {{ Officially used writing systems in India}} could be reworked in a similar way into {{ South Asian scripts}} or something (although IMO the case for the template isn't as strong as for the article, since {{ Infobox Writing system}} arguably serves; to be discussed).
What do you think of this? Brusquedandelion ( talk) 17:20, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
Hi, could you have a look at Mizo language article? Apparently needs some cleanup, also the article is subject to POV push by some users. Thanks. - Fylindfotberserk ( talk) 14:15, 28 March 2024 (UTC)
