American Sign Language grammar[edit]

Merge and redirect merge useful content to ASL article, then redirect to wikibooks Bfigura ^(talk) 03:41, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I was about to say keep per Summary Style, however, this article is entirely redundant with the main ASL article, so I would say that delete and redirect is in order here. However, no prejudice to recreating the article as a Summary Fork since the main ASL article is quite long and it may be appropriate to split it up per WP:SUMMARY. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 05:48, 30 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with the linguistics section of American Sign Language and move it to Linguistics of American Sign Language or similar. The ASL article is long enough already; split the linguistics section into it's own article, removing duplication of content, of which there is currently no shortage. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 01:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As the admin who imported this page, it seems highly disconcerting that the only reason you're considering deleting this is that I transwikied. Are you seriously telling me that I can get you people to delete anything just by importing to Wikibooks?! That's a) slightly outrageous on principle but also b) pointless. There's no need to delete it just because it was used as seed material at Wikibooks. If the article here violated WP:NOT or some other Wikipedia policy then I'd understand deleting this page. But simply because it was imported?! This actually boggles my mind. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 02:07, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I also didn't make clear that that page is not part of the wikibook. It will be split up and reformatted such that you wouldn't recognize it (bookified). That's what we do to seed material. It's not like you'll be able to do a simple redirect in any case. If that's what comes of this, make it a redirect to b:American Sign Language. – Mike.lifeguard | ^talk 05:11, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Mike. jj137 (Talk) 22:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
