Keep. No reason given supports deletion. Move to cleanup. DCDuring TALK 10:22, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Or even better, RFV the specific entries to look for attributive use. Mglovesfun (talk) 19:34, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

39 citations in one article; that should be cool! Mglovesfun (talk) 13:08, 5 December 2009 (UTC)


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

From Sanskrit-English Dictionary by Williams Monier
The following are entries taken from the well-known Sanskrit English Dictionary by William Moniers et all. It contains many of the senses assigned to Kamboja above but which some editor guy suspected as senseless.


 * 1999', A Sanskrit-English Dictionary, by Monier Monier-Williams, ‎Ernst Leumann, ‎Carl Cappeller:

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)
