The result was delete, but I took the liberty of redirecting this to Indic computing. Article was about computing in the Gujarati script. My understanding is that all of the Brahmi-based abugida scripts of India (and Thailand, Burma, Laos, Cambodia, Bali, and elsewhere) share common features (ligatures; diacritical vowel marks) and could be viewed as graphical variants on a shared underlying system. This was referenced only to primary sources and a blog. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 16:38, 6 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Advert for a blog and library masquerading as an article. Lacks significant coverage in 3rd party sources. RadioFan (talk) 17:53, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

delete No evidence of notability, nor even any coherent content about the supposed topic, rather than plugging a website. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:20, 20 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Neither an advertisement nor promotion, but an article about the subject specified, including,as it ought, information about various resources of computing in that language.. DGG ( talk ) 18:03, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Perhaps this could be covered in a section on computing in Gujarati language but only if there are sufficient 3rd party reliable sources to base it on. This article is nothing more than a collection of links and reads like an advert.--RadioFan (talk) 23:52, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete. Content is not encyclopedic, but essentially a list of some links that may be helpful in dealing with Gujarati in computing. Wikipedia is not a link repository. I suspect (but can't check) that this is essentially a recreation of List of free gujarati tools. Perhaps some of the content could find a spot in a language-specific subsection of Indic computing. --Lambiam 09:40, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. OK, it is collection of links but it is necessary for this article. Because the article is about APIs/JavaScript Library/.NET Component for Gujarati Language. It will help Gujarati Computer Programmer or Developer to find apis easily.--Nilesh Bandhiya (talk) 04:59, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- See Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions, in particular the section It's useful. --Lambiam 14:21, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

delete. Does not give any introduction, history or summary. Does not give any significance. Does not identify itaself as a seperate article. There are 3000 Languages around this world. Should we have stubs for each of hem or shouldnt a page about Native language interfaces be enough ? 0police (talk) 20:54, 5 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
