Putu (mushroom)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Putu is a non-English (Hindi?) term for, apparently, puffball-like fungi (see this paper where "putu" is listed as a common name for Lycoperdon and Geastrum). It seems unlikely that there is more to say about it than a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Any in depth content should go on pages about the specific fungi.

 * Delete - No sources cited, unclear meaning, other sources which point to likely duplication, and non-English usage. That it shouldn't be an article is very clear. I guess the question is just whether to retain a redirect. We don't typically include redirects from non-English translations, and absent sources which show this to be an English common name, it doesn't seem like we need the redirect. &mdash;  Rhododendrites talk  \\ 20:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete. No sources and this seems to be a non-English word. I think there should not be a redirect for a non-English word. DeVerm (talk) 21:51, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-English common name for several species of fungi, not suitable as an article. Agree we don't need a redirect for this. Sasata (talk) 03:20, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete; I agree a redirect is inappropriate here on the English language Wikipedia. Also, the content here may have been ripped from here, though that has something to do with music. Odd. --Hammersoft (talk) 13:56, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete as my own searches are still not finding anything confidently convincing. SwisterTwister   talk  19:35, 1 July 2016 (UTC)
