 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Furthermore, in its current format, this article in the English Wikipedia is not particularly usable unless one already can read Hindi. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:15, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikipeida is not a baby names listing website. SwisterTwister  talk  20:51, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete - per SwisterTwister, this isn't BabyNames.com, this is Wikipedia.org. Beluga boy ''cup of tea? 18:36, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep Agreed that Wikipedia is not a baby naming site. But I don't understand why this article is any different from the article Frank or Mabel or Laura (given name) or any other article on given names. The article definitely needs cleanup, but I think its worth keeping it. That said, I should add that it might be difficult to find reliable sources for the article. &mdash; Fιηεmαηη [talk] 17:32, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
 * A dictionary article can be about the word, but an encyclopedic article must be able to discuss the topic as well. In the case of articles about given names, where there are no notable people who bear the name in question, the article becomes a dictionary definition.  I did a quick search for "Divy" in Wikipedia, and found no suitable candidates in the first few pages.  I'd say this can be deleted for now, but after a few notable Divys appear, it can easily be recreated. --Slashme (talk) 16:41, 24 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment: In WP:NOTDICT it is clearly mentioned that Wikipedia can have articles about names. The difference between a dictionary entry and Wikipedia entry is given at WP:NOTDICT. &mdash; Fιηεmαηη [talk]</FONT> 09:11, 23 August 2011 (UTC)
