A previous discussion on this topic ended in no consensus. Since that time the article has been tagged for numerous problems and concerns and no improvement has been forthcoming. The only scholarly reference to "Utah English" as a dialect of English seems to be a research project undertaken at BYU - which, while qualifying as a reliable source, is but one source and probably is a bit too primary to establish that this term is either notable or even accepted as a real phenomenon. Plus, it is the only source, and this article does not have multiple reliable sources per notability guidelines. Shereth 18:16, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Despite the BYU study, the whole thing feels like someone hyping the local color. - Richfife (talk) 16:29, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, a dialect is not the same thing as an accent (A dialect has special words and grammar, an accent only refers to idiosyncratic pronunciation). This article seems to cover an accent, which isn't particularly notable by itself. - Richfife (talk) 20:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete per above. — BQZip01 —  talk 06:28, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
