The result was delete. Only the article creator argues to "keep", but their arguments are mainly giving reasons why there is no coverage (because users are blind). This is not a policy-based argument. Randykitty (talk) 14:54, 5 July 2021 (UTC)

Sylheti Braille

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I PRODded this article because it was immediately obvious from search that there are no non-mirror references from anyone except the creator of this script. It was deprodded by the creator, who demanded "further review" and pulled up a reference in their edit summary ( from The Hindu) that does not mention the Sylheti language. That user,, has a history of problematic edits in this topic area; see ANI for details. –LaundryPizza03 ( d c̄ ) 23:44, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete, the article uses trivial mentions as references, some of which are not even WP:RS. The alphabet section cites no sources, and could possibly be invented by the author or be the same system as another Indo-Aryan language (the latter is just a guess as from my understanding, braille writing systems can be shared between closely related languages for example Bharati Braille).

<div class="xfd_relist" style="border-top: 1px solid #AAA; border-bottom: 1px solid #AAA; padding: 0px 25px;"> Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep, (1) Invented by:Louis Braille. (2) Other org. who made systems/adjustments to support different language. (3) Similar to Bharati Braille. (4) I would suggest to keep it and improve the article with better contributions. Slake000(talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:10, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

 * (continued from earlier comment Keep), Reasons to keep it: (1) It is currently being used in Europe, specially in UK and India; (2) It is for blind and disable person, we can't expect they can edit on Wikipedia without our help; (3) There is similar page in other languages, wich I already connected in Wikidata in language section; (4) All popular and currently used languages has braille system for inclusion, as disability support.

 * Delete. I need WP:RS sources which supports this Sylheti_Braille table (source from other than duxburysystems.com). Until then i will vote for delete. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:55, 25 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, Sylheti_Braille contains false info. No mentions of Sylheti Braille here. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 00:03, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * (1) First are you Usernumber? Second, It is not false information, may be you did not understand braille systems. Sylheti Braille, Punjabi Braille, doesn't mean a complete different system to Braille, but "language name + braille" means that specific language literary texts to braille. (2) In UK website, where it says Braille available for South Asian languages (including Sylheti), it does not need to repeat itself saying Sylheti braille, punjabi braille etc etc. (3) Regarding WP:RS Orbit website mentions that, Duxbury Braille Translation (DBT) the braille translation software used by virtually all of the world’s leading braille publishers, in the second paragraph. In the third paragraph talk about inclusion of Sylheti language [here]. Slake000 (talk) 11:06, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) If you have doubts, please see my contribution to find out who i am. 2) There is zero mention of "Braille available for South Asian languages". If you want to use UK website as source, then yes it is needed. There are many south asian language. You cannot simply assume. 3) Again, i need WP:RS sources which supports this Sylheti_Braille table. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 22:25, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * UK website removed, replaced with other usage based on Orbit Research, qhere it is clearly mentioned about Sylheti Language. - Slake000 (talk) 08:50, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * You know that is a primary source. Wikipedia needs secondary sources. Anyway, i still need WP:RS & secondary sources which supports this Sylheti_Braille table. --আফতাবুজ্জামান (talk) 23:30, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
 * (1) Alphabet table moved from main article to the talk page. - Slake000 (talk) 06:43, 29 June 2021 (UTC)
