British Non-Regional Pronunciation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The term "British Non-Regional Pronunciation" appears to have been used by one source briefly. It does not meet Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as it is not a widespread term in linguistics. Epa101 (talk) 09:56, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

I disagree about how widespread the term is - I hear it commonly enough that people will want to look it up, and we don't help them if we boycott it. But I do agree that it shouldn't be an article. Can we make this a redirect to Received Pronunciation or similar, and accommodate this one sentence with its source there, perhaps at the bottom of the historical variation section? --Doric Loon (talk) 11:39, 18 September 2009 (UTC)


 * That would be perfectly acceptable to me. Epa101 (talk) 18:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete as a neologism that didn't catch on. Mandsford (talk) 14:16, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and Redirect per Doric Loon. It looks like the source does support the term, and redirects are cheap. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 12:26, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
