[edit] Sodhe
From WP:PNT, been there since Nov 25. Discussion from WP:PNT follows... Jamie 04:53, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Can't make head nor tails of it. Too many Indian words. - Mgm|(talk) 10:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
- It's amusing to see that Indian English is regarded as a foreign language on the English Wikipedia. ☺ The article is about Sodhe (Sode), one of eight monastic temples (Matths) founded in Udupi in the 13th century (Hinduism Today article, Reprint of The Hindu article, Description of the Ashtha Muth, The Eight Tulu Monasteries of Udupi).

- Weak keep. I have no strong view on whether the article is of encyclopedic importance, but it certainly should not be deleted on a language basis. The "Indian" words (all Sanskrit, I believe) look correctly transliterated, and none have English equivalents. If worth keeping, this may call for either links or for expansion by way of explanation, but those words should stay. The article is about a (quite long) line of succession among (presumably Hindu) monks. There are places where it needs commas between names of monks in the succession. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:32, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Weak keep Not easy reading and could use some wikifying. List possibly taken from [1] but don't think that constitutes copyvio. Dlyons493 Talk 08:41, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, tag for expert attention. Seems encyclopedic and factual. --Squiddy 11:36, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Speedy delete for copyvio from http://www.udupipages.com/home/temple/sode.html and I am seeing a lot of copyvios from that site lately. But it is definetly a very notable temple belonging to the Dvaita community. BTW, there are 2/3 Indian english words. Rest are names of individuals.
