  • Comment There's no reason not to discuss this topic in an English-language encyclopedia; en.wiki is for human knowledge written in English, not just matters of parochial interest in the US, the UK, etc. The article is under-sourced at the moment, but loanwords are a thing that linguists study [1][2], and perhaps the referencing could be improved.

  • Keep Entire reasoning for the AFD is flawed. English Wikipedia covers anything that passes GNG. And this topic seems like something that should pass GNG if effort was put into improving its sourcing. An article being in poor shape is not reason for deletion.★Trekker (talk) 14:21, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
