An article about a dialect of Maithili (or one intermediate with Bengali). I don't know if it exists, but so far it has been impossible to find sources about a dialect with this name (see also the talk page). – Uanfala (talk) 14:46, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I've been willing to give the benefit of the doubt, but there do not seem to be WP:RS that support the article, at least with this name. It's possible the dialect/language is known by a different name in academic literature or that there are reliable non-English-language sources available, but unfortunately nothing has been offered up. —Carter (Tcr25) (talk) 15:12, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This article was created with bogus sources (entirely made up sources or real sources not supporting the existence of the subject). As long as we're not presented with reliable sources, the default assumptions are either that the subject itself is spurious, or that the page title is a made-up name for something that may exist under a different name (and maybe is already covered here in WP). –Austronesier (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete It has a tag already as no any reference is attach to the article. I wonder how the article stays longer without deletion. Katobara (talk) 21:39, 20 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because of not providing reliable sources. B203GTB (talk) 07:40, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
