[edit] Tamil Slangs

Wikipedia is not an slag dictionary, and if it was these terms would go on the tamil encyclopedia. If any of these terms notable (for illustrating the structure of the language for instance) they can be merged with Tamil language somehow-- Musaabdulrashid 07:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Slang is an important part of colloquial language. They do not illustrate in any way the structure of the language. But that does not take away from its importance. Slangs reflect the people who use them and their way of interaction. The only way I can see of connecting it with Tamil language is by providing a link from the latter.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Avan gopi (talk • contribs) 00:24, August 14, 2006 (UTC).

• Delete. I can't see how this list isn't either original research or pulled from an existing source. Slang terms that are independently notable (lingam, for example) might make a good addition to the Tamil language article. --Graham 08:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nom and a list of slag from any one language is completely unnessesary.--Musaabdulrashid 09:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. We're not Wiktionary. Wasn't something like this already deleted? --Coredesat talk. ^_^ 22:10, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
• Merge to Tamil LanguageDoctor Bruno 03:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless rewritten to cover the general topic of Tamil slang. Lists of words do not generally belong on Wikipedia. -- Visviva 20:52, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
