Non-notable linguistic research. I am nominating this with some hesitation, but the entire article is based on the research of only 1 young academic (here are some credentials). After almost 2 years and several discussions (see article talk) the main article editor(s) couldn't provide any additional sources and noted that there is only one linguist who studies it (see article talk). In addition to this problem the topic's basic terminology and current state of research are apparently still in flux and unclear (both the basic name and its definition have become disputed by the original author throughout these discussions).

Sorry for the lengthy rationale, but this is a complex situation. I believe the topic is a case of academic WP:TOOSOON - Wikipedia is not a venue to publish new research, that hasn't been sufficiently discussed by other peers and publications. As an alternative to deletion, the article could be draftified to allow further work by the author and other interested linguists. GermanJoe (talk) 00:04, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep GermanJoe makes some really good points. If the tone of the article more accurately reflected the nascent research phase of the language, I would feel better about it. - Scarpy (talk) 17:49, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Navera, "The Influence of Gender and Home Language in the Occurrence of Codeswitching Functions in Adolescent Autobiographical Narratives" describes Hokaglish briefly and appears to be independent of Gonzales. Gonzales has a few cites in other scholarly works not authored by him, but it is very thin. SpinningSpark 17:11, 14 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
