DasheriDusehri

Discussion copied from User talk:Anthony Appleyard[edit]

  • Hi Anthony!
    Hope you are doing good. Actually I saw you in my watch list and got confused.
    Looks like you did something with my underwriting page named "Dusheri". Because unlike before now I need to first go to page name "Dusehri" (created by someone) first and then need to click on my page link "Dusehri".
    Not sure , what happened. Could you please clarify the concern.
    Thanks, Regards, Smkatiyar —Preceding unsigned comment added by Smkatiyar (talk contribs) 16:50, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • If these articles are all about a variety of mangoes, we better decide on the correct spelling of the word.
    There is an old article at Dasheri. Later, User:Smkatiyar started a new small article at Dusehri. Later, User:Vejvančický redirected Dusehri to Dasheri. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:21, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anthony!, I first searched in Wiki about any old article at Dasheri and found no page. I found the word dasheri used at page Malihabad, List of mango cultivars. I edited the page List of mango cultivars and enabled the word Dasheri as a new page link. And from there onwards, I started writing this new page. Before that nothing exist as a page named Dasheri.
    And not sure why you redirected my page "Dasheri" from misspelled word "Dusehri". I believe my page need to redirected from List of mango cultivars as it is explaining about a variety of mango. Request you to please verify the log history of my page and others and look into this concern. Hope you revoke the changes. Thanks. Smkatiyar. Smkatiyar (talk) 06:09, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Continued discussion[edit]

  • Hello. Smkatiyar started an article named Dusehri but s/he described in the article a cultivar named Dasheri (all the listed sources refer to Dasheri, not to Dusehri). I assumed that there is a typo in the title and I nominated Dusehri for deletion as an implausible redirect. I've moved the content to an old redirect (Dasheri, redirected back in 2006 ... I don't know why, to be honest ...) and I wikified the article. Anthony has declined my speedy nom, probably correctly, since later I found out that Dusehri is a term used for a mango cultivar as well. Smkatiyar now talks about Dusheri, Dusehri, Dasehri and Dasheri and it becomes really confusing for me, as I know very little about mangos. That's all from me, sorry for the confusion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 09:32, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems that Dusehri is an alternative name for Dasheri, see [1]. Dasheri is the more common name (according to G-search) and the article here should be named Dasheri. The stand alone article describing this cultivar is listed in the List of mango cultivars as well as in the Template:Mangoes. Where is the problem? --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 10:43, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • It looks like that all these names are various Roman-alphabet transciptions of the same Hindi or Sanskrit word. What is that word's Devanagari spelling? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:20, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
