The name Komal

Unencyclopedic: reads like a cross between a dictionary entry and a horoscope. No sources or evidence for the claims made. In any case it seems to be a close paraphrase of another source, but I'm not sure if the original is copyright (since it's a wiki). —Noiratsi (talk) 21:27, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. Komal is currently an article on a specific performer.  If the name is genuinely common, there probably is a use for a disambiguation page at Komal (name) or something similar, which could also explain what the name means in its original language. - Smerdis of Tlön - killing the human spirit since 2003! 21:38, 13 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete the current page, with no prejudice against re-creating. The current prose appears to have been copied from this page, which is marked '© 2013 Answers Corporation'. The answers.com page is not dated, but the content was added to Wikipedia on 12 Feb 2013; I am assuming the answers.com version is the original. Cnilep (talk) 02:37, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
 * According to WP:Mirrors and forks/Abc, "Wikipedia pages are clearly attributed to Wikipedia." The text on answers.com is attributed to "First answer by Miss.pelling". This reinforces my suspicion that the Wikipedia version is copied from answers.com, not vice-versa. Cnilep (talk) 02:48, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
