Template talk:Dance drama of Southeast Asia

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

Red links: no article no entry[edit]

In order to keep this template nice, tidy, concise and to avoid too many red links, I insists on no wikipedia articles means no entry policy. This means deleting entries that do not have specific wikipedia articles or led to wrong links due to identical names. Gunkarta  talk  07:30, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Claiming problems[edit]

I see there are some problems on registering entries of dance dramas of some Southeast Asian nations. Although migrating across border is common among Southeast Asian nations' history, the cultural sharing among nations should be examines carefully. It should be based on fact whether the specific art was/is indeed practiced and developed further in that country or not, or just a nationalistic-fuelled eagerness to project the "richness" and "diversity" of their country by claiming other nation's artforms. The recent problems is the expansive addition on Malaysian entries by user Awanama that includes/copies dance dramas of Indonesia and the Philippines into Malaysian section. Without proper facts checking and valid refs on each dances articles, that they actually also practiced in Malaysia or also belongs to Malaysia, its entry in Malaysian section is not justified, thus were removed. Gunkarta  talk  07:54, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Well, all we need is to be matured enough to understand that these cultures are not part of modern nation-building. These cultures have been a part of these communities/nations for a very long time. Have you ever seen the Indian subcontinent arguing about this? All these information are based on the Malaysian Ministry of Culture [1]. It is not a baseless claim. Let's show some respect for other points of view.Awanama (talk) 01:45, 23 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
