Reasons for merging linguistic monogenesis and polygenesis
Here are a list of reason why I think that Linguistic monogenesis should be merged into Linguistic polygenesis into Draft:Linguistic monogenesis and polygenesis:


 * Notability of polygenesis:
 * As far as I know, there aren't any reviews on polygenesis papers; but there are some on monogenesis (see Campbell & Poser (2008), who reject global etymologies but not monogenesis per se).
 * The majority of the research about the origin of language is focused on monogenesis, and not polygenesis.
 * Monogenesis is the most widely accepted theory.
 * I didn't found any secondary sources in polygenesis (please, if you find one, leave a message in this talk page), but there are in monogenesis (see the references at the monogenesis article).
 * Merge of polygenesis and monogenesis:
 * In various tertiary sources, monogenesis and polygenesis are in the same chapter (or article in the case of the Spanish, Galician, Catalan and Dutch Wikipedias).
 * Polygenesis has been a stub since 2006 (the creation of the article).
 * The article Origin of language focuses on the non-linguistic (neurological, paleonthological...) approaches to the origin of language, and it's already too big to have the monogenesis and polygenesis linguistic approaches of language incorporated.
 * The readers would have more context reading this two under-researched topics in historical linguistics than in two separate articles.
