 * Comment. Anga area appears to be defined as where the Angika language is spoken. The absence of references comes from a content dispute in which another editor removed some valid references. This old version includes references. placed an AfD notice, and then removed a lot of text, followed by adding a csd-a3. I added a reference, which Jakichandan then reverted. I am not interested in edit warring, but I would encourage an uninvolved editor to revert to an old version such as this one. I do not think the article should be speedy-deleted, particularly when the apparent lack of context comes from an unjustified edit. I take no position on whether Angika is a dialect of Maithili language, which seems to be under dispute here. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:26, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Per this discussion, I've restored the missing references and content for now, and take no position on the article's notability at this time. The addition of csd-a3 clearly was incorrect. Firsfron of Ronchester  17:52, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I have tried to explain my case here. Regards.–Jakichandan (talk) 22:49, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete/merge It seems Angika should be able to provide the area it's spoken in. Sources are not clear that this is a distinct region. Reywas92Talk 13:09, 16 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: couldn’t find any source that establishes this as a distinct area in India. The books cited in the article don’t seem to contain the word Anga in them.defcon5 (talk) 08:32, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
