Talk:Merne arrkirlpangkwerle

Do we really need this page? This is English Wikipedia. Does it really support having redirect pages for every non-English dialect term in the world? If we are going to do this then aren't we also going to have to create pages for each and every one of the several hundred Aboriginal languages for every single Wikipedia article, including for subjects such as "bulldozer" and "nuclear bomb"? And then move onto every Indian dialect term, and Indonesian, and Chilean and so forth.

This really isn't an Aboriginal word that has been incorporated into English. I have never heard anyone who wasn't an Aboriginal or speaking to an Aboriginal use the term. The fact that the only Google results for the term link to Wikipedia and a factsheet on Arrente culture confirms that this is not an English word, rather a strictly Aboriginal one.

So I'm at the first instance I'm asking for some references to demonstrate that: A) This is noteworthy enough for inclusion in the encyclopedia and B) An English word with a place in an English encyclopedia, as opposed to be simply a word from a foreign language that happens to be spoken in a predominantly English speaking nation.Ethel Aardvark (talk) 01:49, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
