Nitin

DicDef of a non-English word. It has been transwikied to Wiktionary. Kevin Rector (talk) 05:32, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, foreign dictionary definition, already transwikid. Megan1967 08:28, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• 'Keep' or merge somewhere, if it's one of the 1000 names of Lord Vishnu. List of name of Lord Vishnu maybe. Kappa 10:54, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Hm, interesting point. I would prefer not to have thousand name stubs about Vishnu though, so merging would have my vote. Radiant_* 08:49, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC)
• What's the policy on given names? This is also a (common?) given name in India. android↔talk 12:42, Apr 26, 2005 (UTC)
  • No policy, I'm afraid. We do have WP:NOT a genealogy database, which may help. I believe consensus is to not have articles on most of them (i.e. delete or merge to list), unless they're 1) really common, or 2) something interestingly special can be said about it.

    • Actually, we do have a policy. They go to Wiktionary unless, as you say, there is something really special about it. Since this has already been transwikied, delete as the final step in a successful transwiki. Rossami (talk) 23:49, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • What's not special about being a name for a major deity? Kappa 17:33, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
        • Well, if that claims of this very article are to be trusted, "Nitin" is not in fact one of the names. "Nitya" is a separate (though related) name. Nitya, however, does not yet exists and is not up for discussion. Rossami (talk) 01:17, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
          • Good point. Kappa 00:34, 1 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as per Rossami (again)--nixie 04:06, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
