Aryabhata was a Mathematics good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake.
The lede currently has "For his explicit mention of the relativity of motion, he also qualifies as a major early physicist.", citing Encyclopedia.com [1] which seems to be an aggregated website, and I don't think it is appropriate to cite. It also has no mention of Aryabhata being a physicist, or being "major". I suggest this is removed since it appears to be original research. Horep (talk) 21:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This Wikipedia page says "Aryabhata's major work were based on previous discoveries by Greeks, Mesapotamians." Yet the source it cites doesn't provide enough information to make this claim. In fact, the source actually says "The conjecture that Aryabhata's value of π is of Greek origin is critically examined and is found to be without foundation." So where did this claim come from, and are there other sources that prove it? Or should that line be removed? LouMichel (talk) 16:36, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
