• Weak Delete It is just translation of Artisan in Hindi and need not be kept, but its translation can be added to the article of artisan. ChitranshGaurav 07:55, 29 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Does Wiktionary also accept transliterated words? For Urdu, I only see entries written in the Urdu alphabet. This word is not in the English Wiktionary, but the related word کار (kâr) is, as is the Persian version کارگر (kârgar) of this word. It is also not in the Urdu Wiktionary, at least not as a stand-alone noun, but it does occur as part of an idiom: اِٹاوے کا کاریگر. By the way, the article title karigars is an English-style plural; the singular is karigar. Of course, this is also a Hindi word, written कारीगर in Devanagari, which is also not listed in the English Wiktionary.  --Lambiam 21:10, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
