Torn about putting this up for AfD. Finding sources for any of the numerous, essay-like claims in this has been difficult given that there is not consensus on which name to use. Given that there is a substantial population who speak Ibaali and can probably be defined as an ethnic group, this topic most likely warrants an article but this article is a mess and almost none of it can be verified. Scrap it and start over. Kazamzam (talk) 20:05, 16 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

TNT -- I am not convinced with the nom's suggestion that there is an article to be written here, but I am in 100% agreement that, even if there is, this is not the basis for such an article. This is an essay at best, and the sources, um, source-singular does not support an encyclopaedic treatment of the subject. Cheers, Last1in (talk) 17:58, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
