Kawaiian

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article is an unusual spelling of the Tagalog name for bamboo (see tl:Kawayan). No need for this term on en.wiki where it will just make it harder for people to find the tl.wiki article. Plantdrew (talk) 21:37, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete If it's an important nickname for Acidosasa or for a member of the family, and sourcedly so, it should be mentioned at the main article and not have a side article created for the nickname. Searching for "Kawaiian" also only really provided results for the word kawaii. --Mr. Magoo (talk) 23:48, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Additional Comment I also find it odd that Acidosasa is only supposed to be found in Southern China and Vietnam, but our Kawaiian claims it's found in Philippines. So, we're not even talking about this bamboo species in particular? It gets even more vague than that? I tried searching for a species it could be, but there are numerous bamboo species to be found in the Philippines. The tl.wiki article, when translated, only talked about "bamboo". The article also provides generic bamboo imagery of just about any bamboo species. It just seems to be a generic word for bamboo? --Mr. Magoo (talk) 00:00, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * As far as I can tell, it's just the generic Tagalog word for bamboo. Plantdrew (talk) 00:54, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
 * An alternate spelling of the Tagalog word "Kawayan" most likely.--Hariboneagle927 (talk) 04:35, 30 July 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete As original PROD-er, I find the word impossible to find by search. (A single, "wordpress" blogspot doesn't count.) If it is indeed another name (Tagalog) of a taxonomically designated species of bamboo, it belongs in that article — but certainly not as a stand alone.  Articles are about subjects, not different names of said subjects.  Thanks,  GenQuest  "Talk to Me" 05:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
