Phani

Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Prod was removed with the comment "This page should not be deleted. I have included relafvent information that warrants a wikipedia entry. The origin of Phani is ambiguous and often argued by cultural communities about its creation." Sources cited are questionable. There may be a valid article in this, I am not sure, I struggle to see what it is actually about, but at the very least, it needs new sources and a cleanup.J Milburn (talk) 11:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * weak keep it's used as a name  RT |  Talk  12:03, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: So? We don't have any notability guidelines regarding names speciifically, so unless the name passes the general notability guideline, I don't see any reason to keep it. J Milburn (talk) 12:34, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: The word also violates WP:NOT. It isnt a commonly used Sanskrit word or name. - Ravichandar 16:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete: Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Also non-notable. The reasons have already been mentioned - Ravichandar 16:40, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Since Wikipedia is not a dictionary, articles should be about concepts (e.g. nationalism) or objects rather than particular words. The name "Phani" itself doesn't seem to be notable (a Google search doesn't seem to yield evidence of coverage in reliable sources). – Black Falcon (Talk) 21:29, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. I have to agree with the above that nothing about the word suggests general notability as laid out in WP:N. SorryGuy Talk  02:03, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
