Issues
It was noted in 2011 at Talk:Globish#Merge discussion that this constructed language / spelling reform may not satisfy general notability guidelines. Based on the current content, which features a link to M.N. Gogate's own web page and cites a book on a different sense of the neologism globish, I would tend to agree with that assessment. Has this language received significant coverage in independent sources? Cnilep (talk) 02:00, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
- Delete - non-notable. What this topic has going for it more than anything else, is a name that sounds like it ought to be notable. "Globish". "Global English." I get it, it's notable! Except it isn't. Especially, since this isn't the article "Globish" (which is probably notable, though a separate question) but "Globish (Gogate)." Who? Very few reliable attestations that aren't WP mirrors or chiefly about Globish (Nerriere). A sentence in the Nerriere article about Gogate is probably enough.

Funny Accents
There's no way this dude isn't Scottish. Unless he's welsh or Irish. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2607:FEA8:1BE0:8E8:0:0:0:4 (talk) 18:54, 1 August 2017 (UTC)
According to the name, Madhukar Gogate is probably an Indian. Soumya-8974 (talk) 16:31, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Help with Globish alphabet
The Globish alphabet has been added from the primary source, but I do not know much about IPA pronunciation. So I need someone to add them. Please help me! Soumya-8974 (talk) 16:30, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
Page title
I've just realised it was moved from Globish (Gogate) to Globish (language) before being moved back here. Summary: "The difference between the Gogate's Globish and Nerrire's Globish is that the Gogate's Globish is a language and Nerrire's Globish is a subset of English vocabulary"
I'm inclined to argue that "the language" doesn't adequately answer the question "Which Globish?" from the average reader's point of view. All the definitions of Globish are 'languages' very loosely speaking. Furthermore, the distinction between a subset of the English language and a conlang that's essentially a simplified form of English is a somewhat technical one. Disambiguating titles should be clear on which meaning of the name the article is about. — Smjg (talk) 12:14, 16 May 2019 (UTC)
