I couldn't find nothing that distinguish this dialect from Brabantian dialect Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:43, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this is a one-sentence article that hardly supplies any more information than what should be obvious from the article's title, i.e. that the Antwerpian dialect is spoken in Antwerp. Vorbee (talk) 14:19, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. A cursory search reveals there are books entirely dedicated to the subject [1] [2], and at least two dictionaries have been published [3] [4]. Also noting that generally the dialect spoken in an urban area may be quite different from the rural dialects surrounding it. Now, it's a separate question whether it's better to have a one-sentence stub or a redirect to the relevant paragraph in Antwerp#Culture. – Uanfala 23:49, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect (for now) to Brabantian dialect. Quick look at the Dutch article, tells a few distinguishes from Brabantian but as the article looks now with merely a lead sentence, a redirect is preferable. Shellwood (talk) 21:01, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- If this gets redirected, then a better target at present would be Antwerp#Culture. – Uanfala 21:06, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
