Transwiki talk:Multilingual list of Indian plants trees and flowers

The following information has failed Wiktionary's deletion process.

It should not be re-entered without careful consideration.

Transwikied from Wikipedia, but I'm not so sure we want it either:

1. It basically duplicates what we do with categories and translation sections
2. It only has three "starter" entries, which have very few names- and even fewer in the correct scripts.
3. If populated, it would be astronomically huge, unless we came up with a system of lots of these.

It seems that it was moved from Wikipedia. I say delete, but before it’s deleted someone who speaks the languages, or at least understands the scripts, should add the content to the translation sections. Ungoliant MMDCCLXIV 15:06, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

What's the rush? Keep until all items are wikilinked (preferably using {{term}}) and someone has added all orange- and red-linked items. Not even all the Translingual genus names and species epithets are new included. In many cases we would need the appropriate script added to do this properly. Perhaps we can recruit the person who initiated this at WP to work on this class of entries here. DCDuring TALK 16:07, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

I would tend to delete it as it contains very little usable content. If it gave us lots of red linked valid terms then it would be a definite keeper. There are however very few, few enough to move easily to WT:RE:hi and WT:RE:mul. Also benghalensis which it lists is probably a typo for bengalensis which we have. Only a Hindi speaker would know if the Hindi terms are also typos. Delete. Mglovesfun (talk) 16:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

NB most of the red links are wholly invalid because not written in the correct script. Mglovesfun (talk) 10:28, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Keep. I'm interested to add/update entries for Indian names of trees. Especially herbs as I'm interested in Ayurveda. This wiki page is a god-send for people who need to use both scientific and local names of plants/trees.

Is it a godsend no matter how many errors there are? If kept we should tag it with {{rfc}}, or more likely "this page is almost completely wrong and is not likely to be corrected". Mglovesfun (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

• Soon to be speedied. The scripts are mostly wrong. This page aint gonna be missed, --ElisaVan (talk) 12:02, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
