Deprodded. This article is a dictionary definition. As Lambiam points out, the additional text doesn't make it an encyclopedia article, just a glorified dicdef. The fact that tone (and of course context) carry additional information is a universal of spoken language; noting that here does not add to the article. What's more, the fact that the creator's single-purpose account is the same name makes us both suspicious, though neither of us has evidence to suggest the definition is incorrect. In any case, it does fail WP:V, which provides a nice way out of guessing at the creator's motives.--Chaser T 20:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. As a bn-N speaker myself, I can confirm that the definition is correct, or at least on the right track. Still, it belongs in wikt:bn:মাতাল, and you can't well transwiki an english def there. — Kaustuv Chaudhuri 01:54, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
