Naukree

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article falls under WP:NOT. It actually is nothing more than the Indian word for "job", and I can't see why it should exist at all. I can understand having an article on the English word job, but for the Indian translation of it? No. Slon02 (talk) 22:16, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete WP:NOT does seem to apply. The content of the article is almost like a disambig page, but the listed items are different enough to not warrant disambiguation.  Peacock (talk) 22:39, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

 * delete per nomination. could have been speedied. --CarTick (talk) 22:29, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Redirect to job. Salih  ( talk ) 05:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Is it likely that a person will search using an Indian word on the English Wikipedia? --Slon02 (talk) 21:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, as Naukree will bring out the matter as it relates to just South Asian significance. When a person wants to look for a job in India, Pakistan or Nepal, he or she will use the word 'Naukree' instead of Job.


 * Delete. Per the page, it's a word that some people type into search engines and that occurs in the titles of several films. By that rationale, we could have pages on virtually every word in Hindi, English, Cantonese, French, ad nauseum. Regarding the redirect, since English has official status alongside Hindi in India and Urdu in Pakistan, it's not that far-fetched as a search term. Cnilep (talk) 00:31, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Well, 'Shadi' is also just an Indian Word, yet it is featured on Wikipedia. Words of high significance, even if of language other than English, are featured in Wikipedia. With this logic, Naukree must also remain featured in Wikipedia. Kssohal (talk) 06:36, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Shadi is a disambiguation page pointing to articles on various people and things called Shadi. Cnilep (talk) 07:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Naukree page is also pointing to many different Indian films on the subject, with the primary titles of the films being 'Naukree'. The page also points to various Indian Websites on the subject of Naukree. Kssohal (talk) 08:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * A case could be made for turning this into a DAB as there are currently four pages (Naukri, Nauker, Naukar Biwi Ka and Naukri.com) that might need disambiguation. But per Peacock above, those titles differ enough that disambiguation may not be necessary. If you wish to turn the page from an article to a disambiguation, see MOS:DAB for advice on proper layout and contents. Be aware, though, that disambiguation pages are still subject to deletion discussions. Cnilep (talk) 00:51, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete and redirect to job per Salih, Around The Globe  सत्यमेव जयते 08:36, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Job is not a proper fit, as Job can also mean 'assignment', but not 'Naukree'. Kssohal (talk) 08:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The suggestion is to redirect to job (role). Salih  ( talk ) 12:44, 1 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete without a redirect. This is an English language Wikipedia, and unless the word moves into relatively common English usage, then it's not appropriate for a redirect. -- Whpq (talk) 16:01, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
