Kush (word)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This was contested in a WP:PROD, but is clearly a dictionary definition of a persian word. Most of the definitions included in the article have their own articles, linked to in the disambiguation page. Should be deleted per WP:NAD and any useful content merged into the appropriate pages. 0x0077BE [talk/contrib] 00:19, 17 February 2014 (UTC)  0x0077BE  [talk/contrib] 00:19, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per NAD. It's not simply a dictionary definition; it's a list of Persian, Urdu, and other words (and their definitions) containing the consonants ش and ک (/ʃ/ and /k/). That makes it less encyclopedic, not more so, in my opinion. I prodded it, as it had the disambiguation template but no ambiguous links. User:PamD removed the prod, noting that it was not actually a DAB page. Cnilep (talk) 01:48, 17 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete. When Kush comes to shove, it falls afoul of NAD. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:52, 17 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Note There's a similar AfD for Hag (Persian), a similar article by the same user. 0x0077BE  [talk/contrib] 02:33, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per nominator, per WP:NAD, and much of the content and sources fail WP:VERIFY. Also, I don't agree that most of the definitions have their own article. It appears to me that half the words and definitions are linked to a small number of the same articles. Additionally, Wikipedia is not a repository for a collections of indiscriminate information. This page probably needs to be written in prose, if that is possible; but that is only possible if this word was actually the subject of reliable sources. --- Steve Quinn (talk) 06:01, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
