"Foreign language dicdef. Article content: "''Qabristan (Persian/Urdu: قبرِستان, Hindi: क़ब्रिस्तान, translation: Land of graves) or Kabristan, is graveyard or cemetery. Qabar means grave in Persian, Urdu and Hindi.''" - Altenmann >t 23:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Delete: I think it should qualify under CSD, and also WP:NOT. --Ragib (talk) 01:04, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete at least (could be speedy). As stated above. --Stormbay (talk) 03:21, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of cemeteries. The article is a dictionary definition that already exists in Wiktionary, but it is a potentially useful search term. Thryduulf (talk) 11:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. What makes you think that it's a probable search term on English Wikipedia? Also, why List of cemeteries? The article says that the term is also used by Iranians and Indians, and I doubt that anyone would type "Qabaristan" to search for lists for national graveyards in that area. The native speakers would probably use क़ब्रिस्तान and قبرِستان anyway. — Rankiri (talk) 16:07, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Thryduulf - this is a potential search term, but the current listing is merely a dicdef and is unlikely to rise to a stub in English WP. Bearian (talk) 13:06, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose. If you're going to claim that it's a potential search term, could you please respond to my previous comment? Needless redirects clutter up Wikipedia and I see no reason why anyone would type "Qabaristan" to look up a list of Pakistani graveyards. The article is an orphan. Google Web shows 154 unique results for Qabaristan -"Gora Qabaristan" (Gora Qabaristan, Karachi is an irrelevant subject).


 * Delete: WP:NOTDIC, WP:ENGLISH. — Rankiri (talk) 13:19, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Wikiepdia is not a dictionary, and in particular, English Wikipedia doesn't provide definitions for non-English words. -- Whpq (talk) 16:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
