 * Keep This is Wikipedia but in a differant language, meets [WP:GNG] Seasider91 (talk) 17:29, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - For reason stated by Seasider. Not sure why this article was not created previously. --Morning277 (talk) 18:26, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - It was already proposed for deletion once, and contested. So please discuss it with an Admin before nominating. And Category:Wikipedias by language, more than 80 Wikipedia pages are there, you think all are notable except this one ? -- ɑηsuмaη  ʈ ᶏ ɭ Ϟ  18:43, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * WP:PROD is a different process than WP:AFD. Any editor can contest a prod because it is only for uncontroversial deletions, which means that a rejected prod has no bearing on whether an AFD can or should be started. postdlf (talk) 21:45, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - not all Wikipedias are notable, but this one has potential. Oriya Literature is fairly significant in India, so I'm surprised there are not more sources that could not be added. Bearian (talk) 22:28, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notability has now been demonstrated in the article with substantial coverage from The Hindu, The New Indian Express, Outlook and others. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:45, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
