Sindhi or Urdu?

To the array of different IPs that keep changing "Sindhi" to "Urdu", without any explanation (except for "typo"): [1],[2],[3],[4],[5],[6],[7],[8],[9] What is your reason for making this edit? _signed,Willondon (talk) 13:11, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Plan to propose deletion, or redirect the article

I plan to propose deletion (AfD) of this article/page. (Or perhaps it should be redirected to Garachi.) It looks to be a contentious "topic", one that is changing. The reference I found ^[1] at the article Sindhi language was the most informative for me in resolving this issue.

It seems there is no language called "Karachi" (I took out references to Garachi, which is spoken in parts of Iran and Turkey, and is not spoken in India.) So "Karachi language" appears to mean here "the language spoken in Karachi", which does not seem to be a stable or definable thing. I also note that in the page information, there are zero articles linking to this disambiguation page. I don't know of a way to find out how many readers tried to search on "Karachi language".

All in all, the information on this page seems contentious, unstable, and not traceable to a reliable source. The disambiguation page here, then, is probably of very little value to readers, and creates more confusion than elucidation. Should it be deleted? or perhaps redirected to "Garachi"? _signed,Willondon (talk) 06:43, 3 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
