Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Language overlap

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous.

A clear majority of votes (all the early votes) were to "delete". However, once someone made a suggestion to "redirect", everyone subsequent agreed. I also agree with the suggestion to redirect and am going to exercise my discretion to do so. Rossami (talk) 19:58, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Language overlap

Just a table of several words and the similarties bewtween several languages. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 02:47, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Seems to make no sense. Delete. Lacrimosus 03:16, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Hardly makes any sense, especially considering certain languages DO overlap. The list would need a good deal of several languages to approach comprehensive. An article on WHICH languages overlap would be much more productive, and may already exist. --InShaneee 04:10, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Makes some sense, but not encyclopedic. Looks like a list of selected cognates/false cognates in selected languages. An article that did this rather large topic any justice would be huge, and tend toward original research, anyway. android↔talk 04:11, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, extremely incomplete, and if it ever was completed it would probably fit better in wiktionary. DaveTheRed 04:13, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I think I can almost see where they're going with this, and it's nowhere good. --Angr 16:42, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Little potential to go anywhere beyond speculation/original research. /sɪzlæk˺/ 01:49, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to cognates. This is a search term which might easily be entered by someone not knowing the correct term. Denni☯ 01:24, 2005 Mar 24 (UTC)
• Redirect to cognates. Pavel Vozenilek 17:40, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I agree; redirect. —Korath (Talk) 01:33, Mar 28, 2005 (UTC)
