Now that this page is semiprotected, would it still make sense to add a reference to

The first sentence offers [paːɳɪnɪ] for the pronunciation of the name in Devangari. But where's the accent? Shouldn't it be rendered either ['paːɳɪnɪ] or [paː'ɳɪnɪ] ? Omc (talk) 14:53, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Syllable length replaces accents. — kashmīrī ^TALK 14:58, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply

Thank you @

XinYaanZyoy

for raising this point. The page on archive.org appears to feature a review by the author himself praising his own work!

Furthermore, I find that that section was added in March 2021 shortly after the author worked on the archive page, which leads me to think this is self-promotion. I'm inclined to remove that section from the page; at the very least I'll delete the link, unless someone has an objection. Dyḗwsuh₃nus (talk) 22:47, 5 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
