Proposed deletion of List of Khmer words of Chinese origin


The article List of Khmer words of Chinese origin has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Multiple good reasons: 1) all original research, no sources 2) of all the languages influencing Khmer, Chinese probably had the least influence...all of the words in the list are merely transliterations of Proper Nouns (given names or surnames), or names for specifically Chinese things, not organic borrowings or loanwords per se. They aren't "Khmer words", they are still recognized as being Chinese. The only words on this list that are actual borrowings that replaced native words are the numbers, but they were borrowed from Thai (which ultimately did borrow them from Chinese, but they were borrowed into Khmer after they were fully "Thai-ified"), making this list meaningless.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * It's not "etymological information"...it's just a list of Chinese words...most of them aren't even Khmer words, they are Chinese names and surnames used in Cambodia. We don't say that "Jet Li" is an English word of Chinese origin...it's just a name. This list is meaningless and misleading to the reader.--William Thweatt TalkContribs 10:05, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
