Ancient Indian scripts

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article has been created by a series of cut and paste moves from other articles. Wikipedia requires attribution when material is copied from one article to another. The does not add much compared to Brahmic scripts and is a case of WP:CONTENTFORK. Besides that, the scope also has a big problem, what even is "ancient"? The Indus and Multani scripts are seperated by about 4500 years in earliest attestations. So then, are we just talking about "scripts found in the subcontinent of India"? Then why not include Latin and Arabic too, both with centuries of usage. I don't see a reason to keep this article Glennznl (talk) 12:55, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep Notable subject. The article says 'found' as in 'discovered', 'invented', etc. Accesscrawl (talk) 06:33, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't see what you are refering to, as the word "found" is not found in the text even once. The subject is not notable either, as I clearly described the issues with the scope of the article.
 * Noteworthy too, is that the creator of the article has been banned for being a suck-puppet user. --Glennznl (talk) 07:36, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
