Talk:Nyigina language

Requested move

I request to move this page to Nyigina language, because Nyikina/Nyigina is the name of the tribe (see references!) and because "Nyigina" seems to be more used (see references and Ethnologue). Keep this site as a redirect until someone writes an article about the tribe. — N-true (talk) 22:49, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Support a move to Nyigina. The "language" suffix is not needed since no other article on the tribe or any other meaning currently exists. —   AjaxSmack   21:43, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Support including "language". It's in keeping with naming conventions, per WP:NC (vide, "Languages which share their names with some other thing should be suffixed with 'language'.") Note English language, Dutch language, Greenlandic language, Icelandic language, etc. The exception to this is languages whose names do not refer to anything else, such as Latin and Esperanto, but this is not such a case. Regardless of whether or not there is currently an article on the tribe, there is something else to which the name refers, about which there may eventually be an article. I'm not advocating a presumption that there will be such an article; to the contrary, I am discouraging the presumption that there won't be. Again, look at Greenlandic.
