The article is a mess; it consists largely of unattributed copy-pastes from other articles, and purports to present a topic, the 'Indo-Greek wars', that is in reality a sequence of isolated and unrelated conflicts between different polities at different times. Alexander's campaigns take up half the article, but the other conflicts, which took place decades or centuries later, are dealt with far too briefly, and no attempt is made to weave all of this into a coherent narrative (which in itself is evidence this is an artificial topic). THe very name itself is scarcely used anywhere (cf. Gbooks). Constantine ✍ 11:50, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete pointless content fork. Mccapra (talk) 12:47, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete On its face, it appears to both duplicate other article content and be an inappropriate synthesis. And, on the offchance it is notable and just not written about in English language sources, WP:TNT GreenLipstickLesbian (talk) 16:42, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails WP:NPOV, this article contains a biased perspective, focusing solely on Indian victories while neglecting Greek achievements. The article's content consists of copied material from various unrelated articles, defying Wikipedia's standards against Original Research WP:OR and Synthesis Content WP:SYNTH.Based Kashmiri (talk) 07:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Poor page with implication of a conclusion that is not explicitly stated by the source. The creator of the page inserted opinion in a circular bit of logic. RangersRus (talk) 11:39, 17 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete sure is Indo and Greek, but scarcely a combined thing. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 05:16, 18 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
