Was previously nominated by a sock, with incorrect reasoning, and therefore procedurally closed at once. Nevertheless, the article is neither adequately referenced, nor adequately referenceable, because it is based on a single idea of a recent PhD student in linguistics. It is Too Soon. Suggest merging?

 * Of the three references, one is a pdf of a conference proceeding, which means it wasn't peer reviewed; the second is a peer-reviewed piece of primary literature by the same authors as the first, and is referenced to the first, and the third is a preexisting encyclopaedia making a passing reference to a flapped allophone; I lack the expertise to know if this is adequate to support a complete article. I suspect this is WP:TOOSOON. Elemimele (talk) 22:34, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment The information could also be accommodated in Tap and flap consonants, so merging would be preferable over simply deleting it. –Austronesier (talk) 21:53, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Yes, I agree completely. I like the idea of a merge, and was hoping for suggestions of an appropriate target. Elemimele (talk) 06:58, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
