Talk:Bible translations into Native American languages

Spinoff pages (proposal for merger)
There are two "spin-off" pages from this page: The one for South American languages has a number of problems. It is not as well developed as the main article here. A number of the languages listed on that page (Otomanguean, Mayan, Seri) are not South American languages at all, but are in Mexico and Central America. At the very least, these should be moved to the main page, which includes other languages of the same geographic region. Even better, it seems to me that the two articles should just be merged, i.e. all information from the South American page copied to this main one, which after all is titled to supposedly include all of the Americas. Following the same reasoning, the one for Uto-Aztecan languages could also be brought into this page. Neither of those other two pages is appreciably longer than other sections on the main page. There doesn't seem to be any clear rationale why they were split off. AlbertBickford (talk) 03:10, 21 April 2013 (UTC) (revised AlbertBickford (talk) 04:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC))

 * I've moved information from the South American page that doesn't belong there (Mayan, Otomanguean, Seri etc.) and reordered some sections that were out of alphabetical order (Na-Dene, Kiowa-Tanoan). I see, though, that there are several other spinoff pages other than the ones I listed originally.  As such, I'm less enthusiastic about merging the two pages I listed into this page.  For one thing, I know that, in fact, there are hundreds of translations that have been done in Native American languages, so this one page could get very cumbersome.  So, at this point, I'm thinking the best approach would be to keep the spin-off pages that exist, and encourage others as sections grow.

 * AlbertBickford's suggestion of 20 May 2013 ("to keep the spin-off pages that exist, and encourage others as sections grow") still appears to be a good idea, ie, to avoid a "cumbersome" page. Wayne Roberson, Austin, Texas (talk) 03:18, 1 September 2014 (UTC)
