Prodded earlier as unverifiable. I haven't been able to find any sources, including the Farsi source mentioned in the article. Dougweller ( talk) 15:10, 30 March 2014 (UTC) reply

  • Comment The wikipedia article has the same author, maybe it makes sense to do an AfD over there first? Vectro ( talk) 16:39, 30 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Not really, we are entirely separate from other Wikipedias and have our own policies and guidelines. This article stands or falls according to our guidelines. I don't write Urdu anyway. Bing translates that articles as "An ancient language that evaluates to a Persian, Pashto and other alsna from the world came into being with the passage of time, but it was weak and fall پاگئی.Today, it is appropriate to say that very few of the speakers or the speakers have been finished but some people there also customs and letters".

  • Delete. I've tried verifying this even exists: Nothing. The references had been falsified, one reason there are so few of them. It's a a language found in ancient documents that's been influenced by Urdu, a logical impossibility. It's extinct but has a few hundred speakers, another logical impossibility: It's simply gibberish. Looks like people have been trying to trim the nonsense, but even the one line that's left contradicts itself. The WP-urdu article is garbage too, and it would be good to delete both, but that's rather beside the point for us. — kwami ( talk) 06:25, 31 March 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Comment the author (on Urdu-WP) says that it is an old language and there is no reference available on net but he claims that a persian bookQadeem Irani Tehzeeb (ancient Aryan Civilization) have written about this language, by the way this article isn't verified on Urdu Wp, English Wp works as reference for Urdu Wp. Urdu Wp delete this article if here it is deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.160.118.207 ( talk) 02:59, 1 April 2014 (UTC) reply
    • Comment - yes, this article says something about a book, but it is impossible to identify what book this is so it fails WP:VERIFY. Dougweller ( talk) 09:24, 1 April 2014 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. This is quite possibly a hoax (as argued by kwami), or at best unverifiable (as argued by Dougweller). Cnilep ( talk) 23:25, 1 April 2014 (UTC) reply
