Talk:Javanese script

RFD discussion: January–February 2022

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process (permalink).

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

Javanese script

Should be an appendix in Category:Alphabet appendices. See the RFD-deleted Cyrillic alphabet, Balinese alphabet, Sorani alphabet and the above requests at #Hungarian alphabet. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 02:52, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

Keep. Looking at the Wikipedia page for Javanese script, it seems that it's not solely used for the Javanese language and our current definition isn't that accurate and needs significant cleanup. AG202 (talk) 16:50, 7 January 2022 (UTC)

It’s not about the def, the entry itself is not dictionary material. Please try to understand how this project works before voting keep all the time. ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 17:26, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@Inqilābī I do understand how this project works, and regardless, I do not vote keep all the time, literally go see the above RFD vote for Cyrillic alphabet and the rest of them besides "Khmer script" or the RFD for prior knowledge, both of which are recent. Regarding this specific RFD, we have an entry for Latin script that was brought up in prior conversations and that's part of why I voted to keep the script entries nominated thus far, as they tend to be used by multiple languages and are not as simple as "language + alphabet". See @Andrew Sheedy's comment from the discussion on the first RFD: "Keep. These are not transparent. For instance, the Latin alphabet includes letters that were never used in Latin, and many non-Latin languages, like English, Italian, or Tagalog, use it."

The whole thing about "dictionary material" is subjective anyways, is not codified, and differs from person to person, as some folks would consider these entries dictionary material, see Collins: Latin alphabet and Merriam-Webster: Latin alphabet, so imo it's fine to extend that here as well.

@Fytcha: This way of notimating X Alphabet/Script entries intermittently is very time-consuming. I had previously nominated all of their kind for deletion, but that nomination was deemed too radical. What do you think, is a BP discussion required…? ·~ dictátor·mundꟾ 17:26, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

@Inqilābī: Feel free to bring this up in the BP, it will definitely make things easier in the future. Keep in mind that there might be reasons why we should keep some language+"alphabet" terms (Latin alphabet is one that might survive an RFD individually). If there was some kind of BP consensus, I would speedy these entries and their SOP translations on sight. It would also be good to know where the broader community stands on hard-redirecting these entries to the appendix (cross-NS hard-redirects are not that common). — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 18:53, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Delete. This is appendix stuff. --Rishabhbhat (talk) 09:56, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
