Talk:Eastern South Asia

This page was proposed for deletion by Spasage (talk · contribs) on 22 January 2018 with the comment:
This page is redundant. Eastern South Asia is not separate from South Asia or Indian subcontinent. All the information this page already exists in South Asia or Indian subcontinent page or can be put in these two pages.

What is purpose of this article

I am pinging @Fez Cap 12:, @John of Reading:, @Corinne:, @Worldbruce:, @Vsmith: because you have edited this page in past. Wanted to understand purpose of this article. There is an article on South Asia which covers whole region which is covered in this article. South Asian article does not mention any sub-divisions. We have Indian subcontinent articles which covers area covered in this article. So, what is need for Eastern South Asia. What we are covered here which can not be covered either in Indian subcontinent or South Asia. In addition to this, since we have Eastern South Asian, it means, we should have North, South and West South Asia as well. It looks like this is redundant article and should be deleted or merged into South Asia article. --Spasage (talk) 17:33, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not an expert on the topic, but as I was copy-editing the article I was wondering the same thing. – Corinne (talk) 17:37, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It does seem redundant. I've only done a couple of minor edits following a request on my talk. Content should be merged with either Indian subcontinent or South Asia. Vsmith (talk) 20:12, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We can delete this page because redirect will cause confusion. I am assuming, but we can confirm, contents of this page exists in both South Asia and Indian Subcontinent. I do not think, anything new is written in this page. --Spasage (talk) 14:44, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Are you sure there is nothing in this article that could be added to one of the other articles? I spent a lot of time copy-editing this article not so long ago, and I'd hate to see all that work go to waste if the article is simply deleted. It may even be possible that some material in this article is written or expressed better than the material in the other articles on the same topics, so I would encourage comparing and possibly using the material in this article if it is found to be better written. If my assistance would be helpful, I'd be glad to help with this task. – Corinne (talk) 01:58, 23 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I find it disappointing that so many hours of effort put into creating this article and copyediting it are going to be wiped away. I don't find the arguments put forward for deletion persuasive, and the alternative of merging it will either be very onerous, or will involve most of it being deleted anyway. I propose keeping it intact. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:59, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article was redundant from the start. It should not have been created. There is no such geographical or political subdivision as Eastern South Asia. Its very diverse area, I am not sure why such an article was created in first place.--Spasage (talk) 14:47, 25 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The term "Eastern South Asia" is supported by many of the given sources. For example, it is recognized by the Japan External Trade Organization 1. The term has been used in news sources such as The Economic Times 2. An intergovernmental initiative called Bangladesh Bhutan India Nepal exists in the region. Nepal and Bhutan rely on facilities in India and Bangladesh and vice versa. It's quite a unique geopolitical area (its diverse too, and that makes it even more unique). An alternative name could be Eastern part of South Asia.--102.160.155.31 (talk) 11:14, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of Nepal

An editor has been removing Nepal from this article, even though the sources mention it as part of the region. I have gone back and looked at this user's edits (which can be seen in [1]) and have put Nepal back into the article (in this edit: [2]).

However, some of the content that I removed which was added in the past year, by this user and others, may have been good or at least could be included in the article if relevant sourcing is provided. GreekApple123 (talk) 17:05, 2 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
