Marg (word)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Wikipedia is not a (Hindi/Punjabi) dictionary, and the list of roads ("road" being the meaning of Marg) that contain the word is a head scratcher. Clarityfiend (talk) 08:46, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * The question is whether it is a distinct concept; an actual type of thing, like boulevard, alley, avenue, and street. Or whether it is just a non-English name for a concept that has a name in English such as rue (disambiguation) and rio.  Enjoy a similar list of German streets at Straße, which is a disambiguation article like marg (n.b. not the article under discussion).  &#9786;  Uncle G (talk) 10:39, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Unlike Marg, the Rue and Rio dab pages have non-street and non-river entries. Thanks for pointing out Straße; that will go under the AfD knife after this is done. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:04, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
 * On second thought, since Straße is explicitly classed as a dab page, I'm going to AfD it now, as it consists almost exclusively of WP:partial title matches, with only a single exception. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:09, 7 September 2019 (UTC)

 * The uses of "Marg" in street names in England and Trinidad are relevant. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:56, 6 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Relevant in what way? 21Note: Appleyard is the article's creator. Clarityfiend (talk) 09:07, 7 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Is it really appropriate to state the obvious: Some foreign streets have the foreign word for street in their name. Clarityfiend (talk) 18:58, 7 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Delete - Wikipedia is not a dictionary WP:NOTDICTIONARY - Wikipedia is not a directory of street names WP:NOTDIRECTORY - Epinoia (talk) 01:29, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. Where are the sources supporting notability? All we have are citations that this word root exists. But, as others have also pointed out, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. We're not piling up here anything and everything. -The Gnome (talk) 10:56, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
