Talk:Nale Ba

Edits on Sept 06, 2018
Hello,

With this edit, I have made a lot of changes to the article. — usernamekiran (talk)  18:50, 6 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Mostly, I have replaced "O stree kal aana" with "nale ba". This is a myth from Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka; both of these states are known for lack of Hindi language speaking. Nale ba literally means "come tomorrow", it doesnt refer to the gender of the ghost. In some variations, it is used for male ghosts as well.
 * In the previous state of the article, the article implied "Stree" means a spirit/ghost. It is blatantly false. Stree simply means a woman/lady in all the similar languages (including Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit among few others). I did CE/grammatical changes to rectify that.
 * There is only one instance where "O stree kal aana" can be used (maybe it is supported by source, I couldnt load the "sulekha", which is not exactly a WP:RS). Now it is in the "origin" section of the article, as "O stree, repu raa" which translates to "O stree kal aana".
 * Relevant CE for the above edits.

Nale Ba or Naale Baa

 * Nale Ba About 8,090,000 results
 * Naale Baa About 22,800 results

These results may be somewhat skewed by Wikipedia's declaration that "Nale Ba" is "correct".

But, it's hard for me to go against the weight of 8 million vs. 22 thousand search hits, given in practice that's how WP:Common name is interpreted. – wbm1058 (talk) 12:29, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

It has telugu connection
O stree kal ana is direct derivation from telugu word o stree repu ra, the legend is famous in andhra from very long time. Infact a telugu movie was made in 2016 with the name of o stree repu ra, also i find this hindi film stree which was made in 2018 has so many similarities with the telugu film, maybe director was inspired by o stree repu ra. Why its telugu connection is ignored in the article Kalki 1267 (talk) 10:31, 15 September 2023 (UTC)
