Talk:Meitei civilization

RFD discussion: August–September 2023
Sum of parts.--Saranamd (talk) 06:20, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: It's used frequently in Indian English, in the context of Meitei culture of Northeast India. It's not a sum, but a term by itself. People who are not familiar with Northeast Indian culture may not be aware of it. --Haoreima (talk) 07:15, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

 * And all other historical civilizations at w:Category:Civilizations. We have Indus Valley Civilization but presumably that is warranted by being "the Indus Valley Civilization" (proper noun, specific, capitalized) rather than just "Indus Valley civilization" (generic, uncapitalized). Voltaigne (talk) 09:16, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * So, shall we capitalise the term here in "Meitei Civilization" too? It's already specific and proper noun. --Haoreima (talk) 09:56, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that capitalization would qualify it for inclusion. I'm simply observing that the entry Indus Valley Civilization exists, for whatever reason, and that this seems to be relevant to the current discussion. In any event, none of the included quotations use "the Meitei Civilization" with capital "C". Voltaigne (talk) 10:04, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * @Voltaigne I would argue that "Indus Valley Civilization" is different from Maya, Sumerian, or Meitei civilizations because the IVC was not the civilization of any "Indus Valley" people, whereas the others are just "Maya", "Sumerian", or "Meitei" being used as adjectives attributing "civilization".--Saranamd (talk) 10:30, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete. As Saranamd points out, "Indus Valley Civilization" significantly restricts the meaning of "Indus Valley". "Meitei Civilization" does not. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 19:42, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
