Bitan (Bengali)

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article is basically defining a foreign word, Bitan as something like 'expansive' or widespread, as well as who used it. It doesn't really seem to be something that can ever be expanded into an encyclopedic topic; as the topic is a word, and is highly likely to be covered by wiktionary. We don't even have the English words expansive or widespread here, and I don't think we ever would. It's also completely unreferenced. I'm calling for transwiki delete. - Wolfkeeper  04:01, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong Delete: Bitan is not a Bengali word as like describe here. Bitan is in bengali বিতান and according to Bengali to english dictionary means a structure in a garden for sit ting in, a summer-house (লতাবিতান); a canopy, an awning; a tent; a pavilion;  tension, stretch. and also it not a notable term. So as per norm delete it. And also I am Bengali people and my mother longue is Bengali from Kolkata,India.- Jayanta Nath (Talk 16:18, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
