Talk:State legislative assemblies of India

Is it a good idea to have all those the "Vidhan Sabha constituency" articles?

edit

It seems that someone addded hundreds if not thousands of articles titled "So and So (Vidhan Sabha constituency". The articles appear to be mechanically generated from some official report. Is this a good idea?
Wikipedia is not a database nor a directory: it is not, and should not be, the place where one looks up official information such as who are the current assemblymen or the results of the last elections. Readers should be referred to official sites about that. Mechanically generated articles like these are boring, and ultimately unhelpful to readers, since the information in them is not official and is almost sure to become outdated. Moreover they swamp many searches on topics related to India. Articles on important elections are welcome, but they should be created and edited individually by hand, so that they will tend to have only information that is of lasting interest.

Vidhan SabhaLegislative Assembly (India) – All the legislative assembly constituencies articles are written as Legislative Assembly instead of Vidhan Sabha. Also, there is another page with the similar meaning Legislative Assembly --Relisted. George Ho (talk) 05:54, 30 May 2015 (UTC) Vin09 (talk) 12:20, 23 May 2015 (UTC)Reply

Comment - I think we need some evidence that the name in common use in reliable references is predominantly that being proposed. That the articles mostly use the term may only show the contributor's own preferences. Imc (talk) 20:05, 8 June 2015 (UTC)Reply

This page needs to be moved from Vidhan Sabha to Indian State Legislative Assembly

edit

This page needs to be moved from Vidhan Sabha to State Legislative Assembly. Vidhan Sabha is an Hindi word for Indian State Legislative assembly and not many will undertstand this word. As India have multiple official language. For example in Tamil, it is "Manila Sattaperavai" in Malayalam it is "sansthāna niyamasabha". Hence it is appropriate to change the name of this page in English, so that it will be understood by everyone. Please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Member_of_the_Legislative_Assembly_(India) Which says the member of Legeslative assembly, not Members of Vidhan Sabha. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bharani444 (talkcontribs) 21:14, 13 November 2018 (UTC)Reply

Historical Vidhan Sabhas

edit

So the article is missing some of the now-defunt Vidhan Sabhas. But I struggle a bit with drawing the line:

State Legislative Assembly (India)State Legislative Assembly – the term 'State Legislative Assembly' is more commonly used for the Indian state legislatures, as evidenced by Google search. Proposed title itself currently redirects to the State Legislative Assembly (India) after a redirect cleanup, former redirects to the State legislative assemblies of Malaysia have been fixed. — Hemant Dabral (📞) 18:47, 10 August 2020 (UTC) — Hemant Dabral (📞) 18:47, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  • Oppose - the proper name here is either Vidhan Sabha or Legislative Assembly. MLAs as called 'MLAs' not 'MSLAs', 'State Legislative Assembly' is largely a neologism for Wikipedia use. I'd rather propose we move to 'Legislative Assembly (India)'. --Soman (talk) 19:32, 10 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

Images in the table

edit

Do we need all the images in the table? What value would they add. Without them, the table would look simple and would convey the information better. -- DaxServer (talk) 21:12, 7 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

AITC and CPIM are not part of state-INDIA bloc

edit

AITC and CPIM did not fight elections with the alliance during the 2024 Indian general election and they have never contested in alliance with each other. They should be put under the Others bar along with Zoram People's Movement's government. Xoocit (talk) 20:17, 20 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
