Lugbara phrasebook

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable collection of phrases and pronunciation guide. Only reference is to a language dictionary. The language is already covered at Lugbara language. noq (talk) 15:58, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment When I look at the Category:English language I see a lot of articles discussing various aspects of the English language in detail, including English phonology. What's wrong with this pronunciation guide? The article is not perfect, but I believe that part of the content is valuable and the rest is fixable. It could be renamed or merged, but I don't think deletion is a good solution. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:14, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Move to Linguistic characteristics of the Lugbara language. The article should then discuss phonology, morphology, phonetics, syntax, and semantics.  Some of the article will need to be restructured, but the basis is there.  Some of the common phrases can be used to discuss the syntax.  It would be great if IPA could be used with the pronunciation. Ryan Vesey 16:43, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Er, on second thought, Merge: Lugbara language is short enough that as of right now we don't need a new article on the linguistics of it. Ryan Vesey 18:00, 27 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge anything that is useful to Lugbara language, but if there is nothing substantial to merge I don't think this title is a a particularly useful redirect. Phrase books are something that Wikipedia is not. Cnilep (talk) 04:01, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Clean-up and merge as an article lacking in sources, but that could improve an existing article with more context. Vcessayist (talk) 00:45, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge - sourced information into Lugbara language, which covers the topic to the extent needed, and delete everything else. Apparently, Lugbara phrasebook was moved to Lugbara phrasebook, which was redirected to Lugbara language during this AfD. This made it hard to figure out what was listed for deletion. I undid the changes for the purpose of htis AfD. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 11:37, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
