Kefa
Not notable. r3m0t talk 15:14, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)
 * The etymology, translations, and meaning of a name word is what Wiktionary is for. This is not the correct spelling of the word, however.  Wiktionary would want the actual Aramaic word, not its romanization, which this article does not provide.  Furthermore: This isn't the NPOV title for an article the "On This Rock" dispute, since it is a title that supports one particular side in that dispute.  So this is not the place to grow such an article. Delete unless rewritten about the administrative region of Ethiopia. Uncle G 18:39, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)
 * Keep, small transparent green stones used for purposes of divination are inherently encyclopedic. Kappa 19:46, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The meaning of the name word (which wouldn't be the English title for an article about such stones anyway even if what this article said were correct, since, as this article says, it's not the English word for such things) is a part of this article that's outright wrong. Basing a rationale for keeping upon it is, to use a particularly apposite metaphor given the subject, building one's house upon sand.  Uncle G 22:58, 2005 Jun 20 (UTC)
 * Darn. But some things have no English translation, in which case a non-English title must be used. Kappa 23:09, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm certain that English has a word for rock. &#9786;  If you want to see what this article is slyly getting at, see primacy of Simon Peter. Uncle G 11:23, 2005 Jun 21 (UTC)
 * Delete agree with Uncle G. JamesBurns 06:17, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
