A random honorific particle in Burmese does not need its own Wikipedia page. Ogress _smash! 20:14, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - perfectly significant. There are many "random honorific particles" that have Wikipedia articles. See Category:Honorifics. —Мандичка^YO 😜 20:32, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - There are no sources, so it is not verifiable. Article without any reliable sources should be deleted. Supdiop (talk) 23:49, 23 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is not Wikipedia policy. Articles without RS are not deleted for this reason. —Мандичка^YO 😜 00:05, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimandia It's not policy, but it's one prominent editing philosophy, one that Jimbo Wales endorses: Wikipedia:No reliable sources, no verifiability, no article.

Keep - insufficient reason given for deletion, article does not meet any of the criteria for deletion outlined at WP:DEL-REASON. Pishcal — ♣ 00:38, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
- What, Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia doesn't fit? It's an honorific particle in Burmese. If it belongs anywhere it'd be at Burmese names. Ogress _smash! 02:07, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see how you might think it's not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. It's just as "random" as any other honorific. However, given that the page has very little substantial content, I would support it being merged to Burmese names. Pishcal — ♣ 02:26, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Pishcal I think it is not suitable for inclusion because it's a Burmese language honorific particle, not an English language one, and it has the sole meaning [honorific+]. Good for Burmese learners, not encyclopedic. I'd perhaps be more impressed if it showed up in citations anywhere, otherwise, like u maung and other such names/titles, if it belongs anywhere, it belongs in Burmese names. Ogress _smash! 07:15, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia gives NO preference to English or any other language! Language and culture are irrelevant to determining notability, and claiming such a thing is counter to WP:NPOV. —Мандичка^YO 😜 07:24, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You are confusing bias with "This is the English Wikipedia. Is this term notable for the English Wikipedia?" The latter is a question we ask ourselves constantly when dealing with non-English sources. There's a Chinese word that is used to describe the action you make when grinding traditional ink; it does not appear in the English Wikipedia because it is not notable.

Delete as nom. Ogress _smash! 07:06, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per Ogress and WP:NAD. This may warrant a Wiktionary entry if any evidence of the word's existence can be found, but even with some form of source, WP:NAD would still apply here. ~ Rob^Talk 08:51, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, why can't Burmese term exist in Wikipedia? This is a place for sharing knowledge, Gyi is notable word in Burmese, you should better support to contribute someone's works rather than want to delete it, please just leave it like that and any Burmese who speaks the language may edit to make better article. It is not actually a name but Title that use to addressing the higher ranking person, example Gogyoke means Major General and Gogyokegyi means Full general , Gyi word can make it change ranking in Burmese, Saya/Sayar for master or teacher, Sayagyi means headmaster in school and Sergeant rank in Army in Myanmar, current Senior General Min Aung Hlaing also has " Gyi" word before his name too, junior person normally doesn't take Gyi title in front name, sometimes they may just address Sayagyi without calling the name like calling Captain in Army without name, unlike like name Gyi Title only may be address as during on services in some cases in official rank addressing. please Keep article.
