 * Wikipedia is not a dictionary. There was no "common etimology" for this page. There were three different etymologis for different language families. And by the way, 'baba' is not a nickname for any of them. - Altenmann >t 15:31, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

 * Editors interested in this discussion may also be interested in Articles for deletion/Baba (slavic word). As to Baba (nickname), I'd say delete it as a partial replication of that article (though I have recommended that the "slavic word" name be redirected to Crone). Alternately, I would not object to selectively merging some content to Mama and papa. Cnilep (talk) 23:26, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
