Not particularly clear why this word is important. We should not have articles about every single word of every single language. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a Maldivian(?) dictionary. Clarityfiend (talk) 11:37, 9 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I can't find any independent evidence of notability; we don't usually have articles on words or phrases unless there's a lot to be said about them beyond definition, e.g. fuck. I can't even find conclusive proof that this is a common Maldivian phrase, although Maldivian appears to use Latin, Arabic, and Devanagari scripts and I can only read the first; but searching އިކް ލިކް gives very few google hits suggesting it's not that common. There doesn't even seem to be a Maldivian/Dhivehi wiktionary should we want to transwiki this. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:06, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete - "not a dictionary" is not a speedy deletion criterion. However, we are not a dictionary, and this article is a dictionary-type definition of a possible neologism in another language, with no evidence of being a notable topic on its own. In short, it needs to go. Lady  of  Shalott  18:34, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
