 * I've deleted the article, as per this close. Note that it was tagged in May 2012 for a transwiki over to the English Wiktionary - though that does not appear to have happened. If someone plans to transwiki this article, leave a message on my talk page or at WP:REFUND and someone will get you a copy. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 16:04, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

Swadesh list of Lezgic languages

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This page was created over three years ago to be in the style of Swadesh list of Slavic languages, which has both a list and some prose covering the phonological history of the language family in question. In those three years, not even the list element has been completed. The page has been marked to be transwikied to Wiktionary, but there's no actual content to transfer since the lexical items on this page are in IPA transcription. — Æµ§œš¹  [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 15:51, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

I am also nominating the following related page for the same reason:

 * Weak delete. There have been a few recent publications on East Caucasian/Daghestanian/Lezgian languages that might be appropriate sources, but I'm not convinced that Wikipedia is the right venue for this. See also Articles for deletion/Swadesh lists. Regarding transwiki, see wikt:Appendix:Swadesh lists. Cnilep (talk) 02:54, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete, no evidence that the topic (not the languages, but the Swadesh list of it) is a notable topic in itself. Fram (talk) 09:30, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep or move to Wiktionary. This is something that could have been placed in the Lezgic languages article, but IMO it's easier for the reader if it's split off. There are lots of these Swadesh lists on WP, and perhaps they should all be moved to Wk, with appropriate links from WP articles. That's what we decided to do w all Swadesh lists back in 2006.[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Swadesh lists] Any reason to think consensus has changed?
 * I don't understand the comment that the IPA is not content. Is there consensus at Wk that IPA entries is inappropriate? — kwami (talk) 01:45, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, there are only three Swadesh list articles on WP (two of which are covered in this nomination). I've never seen IPA-only entries at Wiktionary for languages that have writing systems.  Is that really a place for them? — Æµ§œš¹  [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ]  02:19, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
 * It is my understanding that Wiktionary generally uses standard orthographies (e.g. Devanagari for Hindi, Latin for English, etc.), but may also include phonetic transcription or Latin transliteration in Swadesh lists. Cnilep (talk) 01:57, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I don't see any IPA-only columns for languages that have writing systems, though I suppose if Wiktionary will take our little red-headed step-child they can take it. It would have to be manually inserted though, since it's too big for a bot to do it. — Æµ§œš¹  [ãːɱ ˈfɹ̠ˤʷɪ̃ə̃nlɪ] 02:38, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
