Notability?[edit]

I've placed a notability tag on this article for it seems to be more a promotion of the abugida in an encycolpaedic guise than a genuine encyclopaedic article. Van Dieman (talk) 07:26, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality?[edit]

I added this neutrality tag, as ALL live references - but two - ultimately refer back to this web page, a page of and for the promotion of the script.

The second reference is an expired link, and the last reference links to a Reference.com - a Wikipedia mirror - list of notable Malawians. Van Dieman (talk) 07:28, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this has neutrality issues. In particular, the article fails to highlight that the takeup for this script has been really poor. However, the claim that the article is not neutral because the sources all refer back to mwangwego.com is ridiculous. First of all, a discussion of the script anywhere is inevitably going to refer to Mwangwego's own writing. Secondly, using non-neutral sources does not necessarily mean that our article is non-neutral. Non-neutral sources are explicitly permitted in policy (WP:V#Neutrality) and guidelines (WP:BIASED).

I've done some cleanup and removed some of the numerical claims on takeup which were unsourced. I've added new sources and hopefully there is now a more balanced article. I've removed the POV tag on that basis. Please point out any specific points you think need addressing. SpinningSpark 08:43, 21 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
