a total of 13 definitions in this page. Some of them are encyclopediaic, many look suspect. It will take lots of effort for researching all of these--Volants 13:58, 24 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Keep. No reason given supports deletion. Move to cleanup. DCDuring TALK 10:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Or even better, RFV the specific entries to look for attributive use. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Striking. We no longer have an attributive-use requirement. I've de-tagged the entry, but feel free to RFD it. (Note, BTW, that Widsith (talk • contribs) has commented out most of the senses.) —Ruakh_TALK 15:59, 11 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Kamboja= Shell, Elephant;

So we need to enter some of these definitions to Kamboja entry. Let us discuss which defintions from the above we need to include in Kambojas.

No we don't. Those are dictionaries of Sanskrit. This is an English entry. We don't do Sanskrit entries in the Latin script- only in those Indic scripts in which it has traditionally been written. What's more, transliterations are only allowed in the IAST form. See WT:ASA for details. Chuck Entz (talk) 03:04, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
