Velours du Kasai
This article looks much like a dictionary entry. After three months without change I think it is unlikely the article will be expanded. Bakanov 15:13, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * delete per nom. (It might have been simpler to have ded it.) Bucketsofg 15:57, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Seems a perfectly respectable topic to me and the article initially had some content - I've done a bit of work on it and will add some more later. The first link now describes the manufacturing process in some detail.    Dl yo ns 493   Ta lk  19:10, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Transwiki to Wiktionary. --Arnzy (Talk) 00:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Obvious keep after expansion by Dlyons. If this is a dicdef, we might as well transwiki everything to Wiktionary and be done with it. — sjorford (talk)  08:40, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

 * Strong keep perhaps rename to English Kasai velvet or Kasaï velvet. Dlyons has done a great job expanding it. I have set up a redirect from Shoowa, since - rightly or wrongly - this is the name by which these textiles are most widely known by English-speakers outside DRC, and there isn't yet an article about the ethnic group.
