Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of liturgical Hebrew cognates
because '''(a)''' The Hebrew language is very ancient dating back at least 4,000+ years in its origins and development, so that therefore '''(b)''' it is only logical, historically necessary correct, and simple etymology that there are so many variants in its pronunciation. This list is only a ''tiny fraction'' of that reality. Now wonder that '''(c)''' there are so many articles based on Hebrew words, and hence :Category:Hebrew words and phrases. '''(d)''' The reason/s cited by the nominator are not valid in this case because of  and this information is highly informative and educational. Also, please take a look at the advice in . '''(e)''' User {{User|Gilgamesh}} the creator of this list is a long time reliable editor, knowledgeable in this field, having created this article in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_liturgical_Hebrew_cognates&dir=prev&action=history 200'''4'''! and it would be a great pity that this is lost now. '''(f)''' For each word the list cites the common '''English''' Biblical usage is cited and then continues with the variances that exists or have existed in Hebrew. By all means improve it, and engage its creator in a  discussion how to get that done. '''(g)''' Prayer in HEBREW (see List of Jewish prayers and blessings) and Torah study based on HEBREW are central to the practice of Judaism, and therefore the kind of words and how they are used is important. And obviously this is important to both Christianity and Islam as well since they are derived from and borrow from the original Hebrew of Judaism. Thus '''(h)''' it is no surprise that there are categories such as :Category:Hebrew words and phrases in Jewish prayers and blessings. '''(i)''' In a similar and related fashion, there are many examples of lists comparing words and their different usages or origins in all sorts of situations, see for example the vastly differing and often esoteric examples in :Category:Lists of English words (with sub-categories such as :Category:Lists of English words of foreign origin). On and on what seems "esoteric" it goes, see List of eponymous adjectives in English; List of Latin words with English derivatives. See :Category:Arabic words and phrases with List of Quranic names. '''(j)''' Bottom line, while the list may "seem" specialized and "out-of-place" -- and like many articles and lists it can and will be improved over time, especially if expert editorial input is requested at  -- it nevertheless serves as a valuable and encyclopedic entry demonstrating differences of pronunciation ''within'' Hebrew and existing at the same in English in similar forms that would be entirely self-defeating for WP to lose.
