[edit] Uyot
Article is a sub-stub. Several editors from WP:PLANTS have searched through existing reliable sources and haven't been able to pinpoint the species. Only existing google hits don't appear to be WP:RS with which to expand the article. Delete or possibly transwiki to Wiktionary. Rkitko (talk) 03:32, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- Weak Keep: Again, a google search makes it seem as if this is a real plant. - Rjd0060 (talk) 05:22, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

- Comment: Indeed, it appears to be a real plant, I didn't claim it was a hoax. Without more information though, which we've searched for, we can't tell which plant this is and thus reliable information regarding its taxonomy, use, or description is impossible to locate.

- Keep Although it is a sub, it is still open for expansion. Tavix (talk) 05:56, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete Although it has lots of Google hits, they are all for the rattle instruments made from uyot, and provide no information about the plant at all.
- I looked at dozens of sites and could not answer the following basic questions from any of the sites I looked at:
- What language does the word "uyot" come from?
- Where does uyot grow?
- Is it a tree, shrub, herb, or vine?
- What is the family, genus, and/or species of this plant?
- These are the most basic questions I would want answered about this plant, and none of that information is to be found in the many google hits returned by a search for "uyot". The sites that mention it are primarily (1) sites about instruments that mention that an instrument is made from uyot seeds, or (2) commerical sites selling such instruments. In short, there does not seem to be any information available on the internet to ever expand the Uyot srticle beyong a sub-stub. Further, the word does not appear in any of the standard plant species refernce websites or books. The sub-stub should be deleted. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:21, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

- Delete. - unless a reliable source can be found --Melburnian (talk) 01:37, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. per nom. Without the bionomial name we can't even be sure if this is a plant or a group of related plants. --Lenticel (talk) 08:48, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - googling "uyote" came up with a phrase for coffee in Ethiopian. It might be possible to find something using alternate spellings. --SB_Johnny | talk 14:39, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
- Comment - and it might turn out that "uyot(e)" is just a word meaning "seed" in some African language. Imagined information will not expand this sub-stub. Experienced people have searched and come up with no additional information for the article. --EncycloPetey (talk) 05:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
- Delete As I noted in the AFD for "Kaulim", it makes little sense to have an entry on a plant based on a local language. Unless the plant can be identified in more widely useful terms, the article has very limited utility. Tim Ross·talk 01:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
