Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles as you apparently did to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Read WP:SYNTH in particular! &mdash;  LeoFrank  Talk 04:01, 16 February 2021 (UTC)


 * I would be happy to discuss this issue with you further, but it needs to be clarified that the sources I cited were not by any means "synthesis" of sources. Nor was it original research. Besides the fact that news outlets have reported the HYD-ORD route and BLR-SFO route as scheduled routes, which I understand is not reliable and thus did not cite within the article but rather in my comments to you personally, the HYD-ORD route has been reported specifically as year-round by the website of the Government of San Francisco. Additionally, the route is available to be booked until the end of the summer on Air India's website. I do not quite follow your logic that the burden of proof that a route is scheduled somehow exceeds citing the airline's own timetables. The route is freely bookable by any passenger, at least for many months and, according to the airline and government of the destination city, is intended to be year-round. It is, therefore, a scheduled route. We do not make such arbitrary distinctions for any other route at any other airport; HYD should be no different. EWR-BOM is also listed as an air bubble flight in Air India's VBM timetables. However, it is clear that this is a scheduled route, and it is accordingly listed as such on both airport's Wikipedia pages. To summarize, at no point did I synthesize sources to extrapolate a conclusion. On the contrary, the sources I cited were as reliable as any other sources used to prove the commencement of routes from any airport on Wikipedia. I appreciate your work on articles pertaining to Indian airports, and your dedication to maintaining them is admirable. However, to continue removing destinations that are clearly established and bookable simply due to redefining how one may "prove" that a route is actually scheduled, despite the presentation of such proof on numerous occasions, is misleading. &mdash;ShivDewan99 (talk) 05:19, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

Hi,

I did my best with the Nepali/Indian drums. I don't personally have experience with them and relied on books. Please, when you have time, could you look at these to see if you detect other errors? Best wishes, Jacqke (talk) 00:42, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
