A request has been made by another editor in January for clarification as to how this list meets the criteria for inclusion as a stand-alone list. This has not been forthcoming, so I am suggesting deletion as not meeting WP:SALAT. The content may be appropriate for adding to Wiktionary.

  • Transwiki to wiktionary. I found the following sources on this topic:

:However, since all of these refer only to English loan words, I don't think there is any basis for keeping this list as a whole, although this seems like useful information to have on Wiktionary. It is possible that Hindi-language sources cover the topic in more detail. --Cerebellum (talk) 04:10, 8 February 2013 (UTC)

  • Delete "WP is not a dictionary" and a "list of words" is what a dictionary is. An article on English language influence on Hindi could be written, but only citing the most important examples -- not a list of all of them (or even many of them.) BigJim707 (talk) 06:11, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Also, most of the entries seem to be incomplete. JIP | Talk 08:47, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
