List of English words of Romanian origin
There is only one entry in the list, Alb, and I very much suspect that it is wrong (from Latin, alba, according to OED). If an article can be written with more entries, and entries which are correct, that would be good, but there's nothing worth keeping here. Delete Squiddy | (squirt ink?)  16:42, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete both English and Romanian are largely Latin languages i believe, so there might be many overlaps, like 'alb', but very few actual loan words :: Supergolden 16:52, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a collection of lists for words, even if the list were longer than one. -R. fiend 16:55, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

 * A list? You're having me on. If it's expanded, then transwiki to Wiktionary, but definite delete from here. Stifle 12:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment. I've just read the discussion on the talk page for Lists of English words of international origin (a list of lists), and agree that wiktionary would be a better place for all of this kind of stuff. There's an article of encyclopedic content English words of Greek origin, which I think is the best way for WP to deal with specific language-to-language loaning, history, etymology, etc. Hence I've struck out the bit of my nom I've changed my mind about. --Squiddy | (squirt ink?)  16:18, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
