Garib

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be a dictionary definition of a word, sourced only to other wikipedia articles. This may have some sources indicating some encyclopedic content could be written, but I don't feel competent to check (As a comprehensive source check would include a non-english search). I declined the speedy deletion of this article in order to send it here, but I have no preference for its disposition (no "per nom" here!). Thank you. Protonk (talk) 02:51, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep This page can be a disambig page that points to encyclopedic terms that contain the word Garib such as Garib Rath and so on. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  16:16, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * KEEP-This article speaks to the provenance of the term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.166.191.38 (talk • contribs) (From the article's talk page).
 * Delete. This article says absolutely nothing; it's useless even as a dicdef. What language is this word in? What does it mean? "[I]t is presently utilized in Hindi and some Semitic languages to mean a variety of things" implies merely that several languages have different, probably unrelated, words that sound vaguely like "garib" and mean several different things. That's probably true for a great many consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel-consonant sequences. The article is unsourced and its content is either original research or a hoax. —Angr 19:23, 6 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Garib mean poor in Hindi, and other Indic-related languages. This text though, I can't understand. =Nichalp   «Talk»=  05:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Make into Disambig- Angr is correct about the current state of the article. It is sourceless and, when you actually read it through, contentless. However, there are several notable people and things named Garib:
 * Garib Rath
 * Amir Garib
 * Garib Dassi
 * Ptolemy-el-Garib
 * and maybe others. Reyk  YO!  21:01, 6 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete: it's garbage; reads like a confused child trying to write a proper grown-up essay. If the topic is worthy of an article, it will need to be done from scratch. 86.131.91.163 (talk) 03:10, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment I've created Garib (disambiguation), which can be moved to (or since I'm the only content contributor, just copy/pasted over w/ an appropriate summary) Garib if that is the outcome of this discussion. Protonk (talk) 03:28, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Move the disambig to Garib page: Delete the existing text, just write the meaning of Garib - poor and the disambig. -- Redtigerxyz Talk 05:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
