Hasu[edit]

This article is a word definition, and Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Furthermore, the article is in the English namespace, but the word is Korean, and is not English slang, and is nearly never heard in accordance with the English language. Kevin ^(TALK) 18:05, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete WP:NOT wiktionary. However, Furthermore, the article is in the English namespace, but the word is Korean, and is not English slang, and is nearly never heard in accordance with the English language. is not a valid reason for deletion. If a Korean word were encyclopedically notable by virtue of having multiple sources written about it in Korean, etc., and an entry could be written about it that was not a dicdef, it would deserve a place in enwiki, regardless of the fact that no one had ever used the word or written about it in English. We have a whole Category:Korean terms. This is an encyclopedia IN English, not an encylopedia OF English. cab 02:34, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
