List of common words in Sanskrit and Tamil

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A single user has cross-wiki spammed this article in en.wiki as well as Hindi, Sanskrit and Tamil wikis, all with no sources. It appears to be a piece of original research. There are doubtless scholarly articles on the relationship between Sanskrit and Tamil, but unless there is some basis in reliable sources to support this specific list it has to go. There may be sources in Indian languages I am not able to search for. Mccapra (talk) 13:07, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. It's all unsourced, and an unnecessary content fork of Indo-Aryan loanwords in Tamil (there might be borrowings that went the opposite direction, but nothing is mentioned about borrowing in this article anyway). The list can be easily extended to epic length with good sources, but WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary. –Austronesier (talk) 13:41, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete. Unsourced, someones point of view (as to what constitutes a common word) and WP:NOTDICTIONARY. Ajf773 (talk) 23:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete per above arguments.  Peter Ormond &#128172;  07:33, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --Devokewater (talk) 13:06, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. I'm not opposed to a transwiki to Wiktionary as an appendix, though I'm not sure the extent to which think they'd appreciate it there. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 05:57, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
