Useless POV list. Language is a political issue in more or less all countries. Political disputes are listed haphazardly and subjectively as minor, moderate, serious etc. This is far too vague a subject to make a list about. Ezeu 14:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure I'd agree; although I recognise the subjectivity, the page provides a useful starting point for someone researching language politics. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.159.47.14 (talk • contribs) 10:19, 24 July 2006
- This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 14:29, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless we can find good sources for this; as it stands, the article is unverifiable and entirely original research. -- H·G (words/works) 19:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Totally subjective, and currently both unverifiable and quite possibly OR. Agree with nominator that language is probably a political issue everywhere, so without the subjective element the article is pointless. - makomk 20:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It may be too subjective for you, but it's not for me. AdamBiswanger1 23:37, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but rename and eliminate subjective scale by which the author has judged the intensity of the conflicts. A better title might be List of major language-policy conflicts. -- Mwalcoff 02:07, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It needs work but it's a useful list as a starting point for anyone wanting to look at the issue. It needs sources and the "minor, moderate, serious" should be replaced by a very brief summary of the dispute in that country. Only countries where the issue is more than "minor" should be included.Rhion 16:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This list isn't entirely subjective, although the ratings are certainly open to interpretation. This list could be useful and it should probably be renamed, but I don't have any better suggestions. -Justin (koavf), talk, mail 06:02, 26 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
