Deda (ethnic slur)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreliable sources and trivial mentions. Not enough notable to keep in wiki. Rahat (Message) 14:54, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep: References are from reliable sources. Mention of the term in research paper and reference to historic usage prove notability. BengaliHindu (talk) 16:08, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy Delete. CSD A1. –  nafSadh did say 00:36, 24 February 2015 (UTC)


 * It is hard to figure out any good rationale for the deletion. I would vote for a Redirect and merge to List of ethnic slurs.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 14:16, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment The source of web.mit.edu mentions the word only a single time along with some other rural slurs in its 251 pages article. The other two sources Rnews24.com and the BangladeshPress.com are not reliable at all. The word is just a rural slur, it doesn't have significant coverage which can warrant its own article or a redirect to other page. - Rahat (Message) 17:56, 24 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Good explanation, I have redacted my vote. Lets hope for delete.  Occult Zone  (Talk • Contributions • Log) 04:33, 25 February 2015 (UTC)


 * ✅ for deletion due to unreliable references. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 18:46, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Delete – per WP:NOTDICT. Even if they were reliable, the sources are nothing more than examples of usage, such as you might find in a dictionary. – Margin1522 (talk) 10:08, 25 February 2015 (UTC)|
 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I don't think the current sources demonstrate notability, and there's only three of them. If I were to see more sources, I might be inclined to change my opinion. &mdash; kikichugirl  oh hello! 03:38, 2 March 2015 (UTC)
