Lumazi

Nomiation - Non-notable. This article is about a proposed scheme of Romanisation for the Wu dialect of Chinese. However, its only significant content is an external link, which appears to be some kind of web-project by a group of university students. The notability of this scheme is questioned. A check through the external link shows various problems with the Romanisation scheme, and the scheme is very much a work in progress; the website in particular does not disclose any external recognition for this Romanisation scheme. I am inclined to view the page as a vanity article by the participants of the project. Sumple (Talk) 01:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

• Delete - fails WP:V and probably WP:VAIN - the only articles I can find are Wikipedia clones and the projects own website. No work seems to have been done on the page since November 2005, suggesting the proposal isn't active. I'll change my mind if somebody provides evidence of third party coverage.

• Weak keep - Actually, Lumazi is pretty important as one of the most important Shanghainese Romanizations, and is even used in List of common phrases in various languages, Wu section. The topic is pretty important, I think. Actually you're right, it's not that popular outside of Wikipedia. Mar de Sin ^{Talk to me!} 23:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete problem with verifiablity of prominence. Mukadderat 00:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
