The result of the debate was MERGE/REDIRECT to List of English words of Indian origin. There is only one word here, and it's already listed in the Indian origin article. &mdash; J I P | Talk 19:14, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

List of English words of Telugu origin
A word list. Belongs in Wiktionary, but no use transwikiing it, since it should be an ===Etymology=== section in the individual entry. I'd say "entries", but there's only one word here as yet; kill it before it grows. &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 02:24, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and let it grow. Even if it never grows, it takes up less room than its VFD page. It's an honest and verifiable article and does no harm. Fg2 05:39, September 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as above, or merge with Telugu language. Kappa 09:24, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with List of English words of Indian origin. --Angr/undefined 10:52, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect per above (note my faith that whoever closes it won't treat "merge and redirect" as an excuse to simply remove the VfD tag). Geogre 11:28, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Why are we even voting about this? Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. I'm redirecting this one-word affair to Telugu language and I'm asking for any admin to simply delist it. This is not anything that should be handled in an AfD. / Peter Isotalo 13:32, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * You want an admin to collaborate with you in breaking the rules? I think you might be disappointed. Please respect the fact that there is no consensus for your opinion. I am also voting Keep CalJW 18:59, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Geogre. Sdedeo 20:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge as per Angr.---CH (talk) 23:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect per Geogre. Dpbsmith (talk) 01:07, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge/redirect as above or to List of English words of Tamil origin. Telugu is quite similar to Tamil, and virtually all English words that exist in Telugu also exist in Tamil and were probably derived therefrom.  Bandicoot is a very rare exception; possibly the only notable exception. Chick Bowen 01:45, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
 * Some sort of merge is in order, but I haven't been convinced enough in any one direction as to where I think it should go, yet. --Jacqui M Schedler 02:52, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
