Westernised Chinese language

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Given that this is the English language Wikipedia, an article about errors in the Chinese language (albeit committed by English-language speakers) that you have to read Chinese to understand does not seem appropriate. -- Boing!   said Zebedee  09:07, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment. We already have articles Chinese language and  Barbarism (linguistics), and perhaps information in this article could be merged to one or both places. The topic could be an encyclopedic one, but the current article has no references. If notability can be established, then the article belongs in the English-language Wikipedia, in the same way that the English-language Wikipedia has articles on places where English is not the majority language.  I would be interested in seeing an article about the varieties of spoken Chinese found outside China - that of the ethnic Chinese community in Jamaica, for example.

 * Hmm, yes, good point - as it is aimed at native-English speakers, I guess it does actually belong here. I'll probably withdraw my nomination, but I'll leave it for a little while to see if anyone else has anything to offer regarding notability -- Boing!   said Zebedee  10:30, 5 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Withdraw I was mistaken to nominate this article for the reason I gave, so I withdraw my nomination - I'll leave it to others to decide if there is any notability issue that needs addressing -- Boing!   said Zebedee  10:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
