Rhilla
distdef of non-english word. Delete. DES (talk) 07:52, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

*Delete - confirmed with Arrente colleague of fellow wikipedian as not used as a self-reference. --Scott Davis Talk 10:39, 11 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - article itself is written in a manner which indicates it may not be correct. Attempts to be a dictionary definition of, as the nominator rightly said, a word not used in English. Regardless, Wikipedia is not a dictionary, so this has to go. Rob Church Talk 09:06, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

As Wikipedia is not to be used as a dictionary, then yes, the 'article' should be deleted. However, my original attempt was to correct a mistake in the article on the Arrente, where it refered to them using the term 'anangu'. This is a name used by another Aboriginal group all together (the Pitjantjatjara ). Arrente do not call themselves 'anangu' and would be happy to be referred to by this word.

I have spent all day trying to find an internet reference for the word 'rhilla' but have not been able to do so. So by all means, remove the 'rhilla article', but I would suggest rewriting the original Arrente entry as well. Sorry if I've caused any inconvience. petersmith


 * Removing my delete vote as Peter seems genuine, and I tried to find an internet reference for Anangu applied to Arrente, and failed, too. All the pages I found are either derived from Wikipedia, or use the words to refer to neighbouring groups. Maybe someone will be able to reference some offline printed source? --Scott Davis Talk 10:31, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
