Talk:Southern Malaysian Hokkien

Verifiability and notability
Came across this article a couple of months ago to wikify and do some general cleanups. Tried finding references but haven't found any academic sources. Doubting the authenticity or strength of the article. Could be this is a perceived dialect rather than an actual dialect as they are no known academic or reliable sources stating the obvious. I note the author who creates this probably have a conflict of interest as he lives in southern Malaysia and is documenting things anecdotely rather than finding sources for this article to meet the WP:V, WP:N and WP:GNG.

Rather than insert a AFD or PROD tag. Better to tag it as unreferenced until someone can find reliable sources to cite these difference. Otherwise if no sources around found, this article can be moved to a new articled called Malaysian Hokkien (Quanzhou/Xiamen variant) which will cover the variant used by Minnan people (excluding Penang users of Minnan as the article already exist Penang Hokkien).--Visik (talk) 02:21, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
