Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Clarityfiend (talk) 15:44, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - Unnecessary article, and yet it creeps me out :(.Mitch32contribs 15:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. STORMTRACKER 94 15:46, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. There are plenty of equivalent slang terms for this in English. No need to have an article for a slang term in a language whuch by itself barely passes the test of notability. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 16:01, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Somewhat off-topic, but why not try actually reading Meitei_language and tell me whether you think, with all the scholarly papers there and the millions of speakers it has, it's "a language whuch by itself barely passes the test of notability" cab (talk) 19:14, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete – At this point it is only a term in the Meetei/Meitei community from Manipur. Until it becomes widly used in English, and at that point it would still be listed in Wikitionary not in Wikipedia. Shoessss |  Chat  18:00, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
    • A word's being English or not has nothing to do with whether it has gotten non-trivial coverage in reliable sources (in English, a language of the country it originates from, or a third language) or whether the concept it describes is encyclopedic or not. cab (talk) 19:10, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Please, Wikipedia is not a dictionary and not a place for NN slang terms. Harland1 (t/c) 18:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:DICT. cab (talk) 19:10, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete There is nothing interesting or encyclopedic about a foreign language slang that has no notability in english usage. JERRY talk contribs 02:08, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Just a dictionary definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:49, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. one would really want some notability for it to be here. cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 19:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
