Talk:Quantitative comparative linguistics

Untitled
This article looks alright. The problem is that it is about a topic that does not exist in this form, or at least under this name. "Quantitative comparative linguistics is a branch of comparative linguistics"? Not according to printed books.. Please do not abuse Wikipedia to coin terms you would like to enter common usage. It's not what the project is for. --dab (𒁳) 16:24, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Actually, instead of merging the article, I believe it should be left standing and renamed into something compositional. Like "phylogenetic methods in comparative linguistics", because this seems to be what it is about. --dab (𒁳) 16:31, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
