Comment (from the Discussion). I have no opinion on the merits of this particular article, but am wondering why it is the only one AfD'd from the whole Category:Lists of English words of foreign origin?—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); August 12, 2011; 16:17 (UTC)
- I've taken a look at a handful. Quite a few I tagged as potentially not notable, needing references or needing more references. I encourage you to do the same. Stuartyeates (talk) 19:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
- This list came to my attention because it was linked from another AfD. I'd be happy to vote to delete any other mini-dictionary lists. And I certainly have nothing against Italy. Borock (talk) 00:27, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

As of may 2013 the "List of English words of Korean origin" has NOT been deleted. So only the Italian list remains erased after 2 years. WHY? May be this is a kind of Antiitalianism? BD
- IMHO, I think the list must be improved and added to the en.wikipedia. John Reed — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.217.85.134 (talk) 14:57, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Economy edit
I think there are some inaccuracies in the section about economy. In fact, Money and capitalism come from Latin (moneta and caput respectively); Sale is a german word. Finance comes from French. Lele giannoni (talk) 17:42, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
