File:Malay World and areas influenced by Malay culture map.png

[edit]

This file was initially tagged by Factual Fact Factor as Speedy (speedydelete) and the most recent rationale was: This content need to be deleted because it contain original research and blatantly misleading, Malays never spread their influence as further as those territories, the only largest influence of Malay (or actually Palembang to be precise) is only in Sumatra and its adjacent regions during the heyday of the Srivijaya empire.
Converted to regular DR to allow for discussion, as needed for such issues. -- Túrelio (talk) 08:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

* Delete. Some of this is arguable, but I don't see how Sri Lanka can be claimed to be under Malay influence, rather than the reverse. The countries that are and are not colored on the map are rather random. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 14:21, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Changing to  Keep after seeing the statement on w:Malay world about the influences on Sri Lanka from Nusantara, which is considered the Malay world in the article. I don't know why Cambodia and Vietnam are not included on this map when the Champas are often considered a Malay people, but all of this should be discussed. Deletions of files in use on Wikipedia articles shouldn't be made on a polemical basis without discussions on the talk pages of the relevant articles. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:33, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Kept: no reason for deletion, as above; If there are some errors in the map/drawing, please use "upload a new version" for correction. For the possibility to rename this file see COM:RENAME. --Wdwd (talk) 10:08, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
