Kiladar

This seems to be a definition of a word, and shouldn't be an article under WP:DICTIONARY? Dengero (talk) 11:50, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article's not simply a definition of a word, but concerns a notable title - "Kiladar was a title for the governor of a fort or large town in medieval India". Claritas §  12:38, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete (or expand) - the article appears to be a definition and an etymology, that it refers to something notable doesn't change WP:DICTIONARY. However, if the concept can be expanded on, as was done at the similar entry Faujdar, would make this article an keep.  --Joe Decker (talk) 14:51, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep With the article as now expanded, it seems clearly a "keep." --Joe Decker (talk) 21:21, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep - It is not just a word --Sodabottle (talk) 19:23, 13 June 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep - Notable title/designation.  Arjun  codename024 19:38, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand. The sources quoted should provide material.  Favonian (talk) 21:06, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - reworked sentence 2 to help make it clear this is an office/title, rather than simply a word in the language. I do thank the original submitter for trying to keep down the needless dictionary entries, but I don't think this is one of them.-  Sinneed  21:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep - Although it's clearly a good-faith nomination, the subject is notable and the article itself is well written and well referenced. Admittedly it's also short, but could probably be expanded with further historical detail. Doc  Tropics  17:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)
