List of African languages by country[edit]

Much the same rationale as for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of European languages by country, though the situation with languages in Africa is even more complex than the European one. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 02:04, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as a non-useful list; what does this add to just looking up each country and seeing its major languages? The reverse list (languages by countries that see nontrivial use of them) would be more defensible. JJL (talk) 03:11, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete consider doing the reverse list, as I feel that would be useful. This however isn't very useful at all. --Banime (talk) 15:11, 21 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete The history indicates that this is an orphaned article that isn't much changed from where it stood as of last November [1]. This may indicate that the original editors had second thoughts about the format rather than the topic, but there's no reason that someone can't attempt a future article about the languages spoken on the continent.
