Hi Sashakr. I took part in the AfD discussion for your article on Distributed Language and I had some thoughts on how you might go about stubifying the article. I'm not an expert on linguistics, so these are just general suggestions on how you can create a good stub article.

I would start by describing the research group, since the concept seems to be strongly linked to this group and facts about the group are probably the least controversial and easiest to verify. Then I would build on that by comparing and contrasting the DL approach to language with the standard one. Start with the big differences and use language that a non-linguist will understand (look at other language articles if you need to gauge the level). Most importantly, write from the perspective of a neutral outside observer: person A claims this, group B takes this position on an issue. You don;t have to use exactly those terms but you get the idea. It needn't be more than a single paragraph to begin with. Don't worry about deleting material - it can always be retrieved from the article history.

Thank you, Cosmo0, for the advice. I have replaced the original article with what I believe might qualify as a 'stub'. --Sashakr (talk) 14:00, 20 May 2008 (UTC) Sashakr
