Glossary of South Asian economic terms

 * – ( View AfD View log )


 * Delete. It has not progressed far in it's seven years of existence - but that is not a reason for deletion in itself. It is not likely to contain may terms - but that is not a reason for deletion in itself. Anyway, lets get rid of it and let Wiktionary do the work for us.  -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 20:19, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:32, 28 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep Its not a dictionary definition but a glossary of useful terms. The article was formerly much longer.  Even being short now, is not a valid reason to delete it.  This is like the 13 other list of slang articles. Category:Lists of slang  Having an article for this sort of thing is far easier than going through the wiki dictionary which no one ever uses anyway.   D r e a m Focus  20:40, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * The revision that you mention is from when it had the previous article name of Glossary of Indian economic terms. That version is more of a translation service and surely this is something that WP is not. -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 21:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep per WP:SK "The nominator ... fails to advance an argument for deletion" and says himself that his comments are not reasons to delete. Warden (talk) 20:26, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
 * I request that this page not be kept speedily. I've advanced an argument for deletion above. If it gets kept, that should be done only after the AfD discussion has run its course. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:11, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Ummm, is improving WP an argument for deletion?? -- Alan Liefting (talk - contribs) 04:00, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:55, 6 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. The scope of the list is too vague, and while a list of wiki articles or potential wiki articles would be ok, a simple list of terms from languages other than the one this encyclopedia is written in does not appear to have a realistic chance of becoming a valid article. --Michig (talk) 21:23, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete - This is not a suitable entry for an encyclopedia, and as stated above, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Clearly no real notice needs to be paid to yet another of Colonel Warden's disruptive attempts to avoid actual discussion and speedily close an AfD through bureaucratic means.--Yaksar (let's chat) 06:09, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
