IPA2

The article describes yet another suggested system for transcribing Persian into the Latin script. The article is created by the person who has suggested the system (Moslehi). A Google search [1] doesn't give much about this certain "IPA2" apart from Wikipedia, its mirrors, and its IPA2's homepage. roozbeh 13:36, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I disagree with the nomination for deletion. I have my own concerns:
  1. What do you mean by YET ANOTHER; as long as I know, there are only 2 main systems suggested for Persian alphabet: UniPers and IPA2. Can you name others which are of great noticeability?
  2. IPA2 is not used for TRANSCRIBING Persian into the LATIN SCRIPT. IPA2 is an alphabet proposed officially to REPLACE Perso-Arabic and not to TRANSCRIBE it. I used official, because an introduction to this alphabet is officially printed in proceedings of a linguistic conference held by a reputable Iranian university. I could acquire a copy and I recommend you doing the same.
  3. I see no problem in the articles being created by RESPONSIBLE people. I am concerned about your point as it may lead to misleading actions to avoid your accusation, such as choosing an ID which does not show the real identity of the author. I really appreciate those people who are honest enough to show their real identity freely and without any concerns caused by people like you who are discouragingly manipulating other people's works here on Wikipedia.
  4. IPA2 is a general abbreviation which can stand for many full names. Pls narrow your search by adding extra info or trying other combinations. I found some with LinguistList and Iran-Daily and ProZ. They contain info which may have been created by the same person in question. But there are resources. Besides, I do not expect much from search engines for the system is new enough not to be discussed about more than it is.
  5. I also searched for your name and activities. You seem to be a biased person on this issue because you are one of the people invovled in developing a Farsi (Persian) Linux for the Iranian government. Iranian government as been againt any alphabet change and so are the people participating in Farsi Linux project who are in favour of Perso-Arabic script in use.
  6. Finally, a personal question: how many articles are there which are created by you about you and about your own projects. Do you nominate them for deletion? and how many other people are there in your camp? -Persiciser, 17:55, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just to emphasize that some parts of this is a personal attack towards me. I am not involved in developing FarsiLinux, and I do not remember creating any article created by me about my projects or myself. I don't care about a switch to the Latin script either. roozbeh 18:02, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry! But I did not mean to attack you! Cos I do not know you! That was just a result of my searches with Google. About your not being involved, here are some counter-evidence cases:
  1. [2]
  2. [3]
  • Neutral In IPA2: Eqdámiy nájavánmardáne bud vali bitaraf mi mánam. In English: It was not a fair act, but I keep neutral. -DrMoslehi 00:14, 17 September 2006 (UTC+3:30)
  • I don't think this article should be deleted. I think the article is informative and should not be deleted. What can happen if Wikipedia has one more article?? The author must've worked hard to write this article. Why should we delete this article and waste all the time he spent finding information on the article .etc? --GreatShash 12:04, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
