[edit] Creole English

I'm not quite sure what to do with this article. Is it necessary? I'm not an expert on dialects of English but I noticed on List of dialects of the English language that there is a section on Pidgins and Creoles but no link to Creole English. Two articles link to Creole English however: Trinidadian Creole English and Tobagonian Creole English. Both articles say that they are dialects of Creole English. Should we include this article on the List of dialects of the English language article? Please help. Thanks. ---User:Hottentot

• Keep and Cleanup. I'm not sure how language article naming conflicts should be resolved, but the topic is a notable one, so no need to delete. Xoloz 06:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. It probably needs a re-name too, since there are plenty of English-based creoles besides Carribean ones. I don't know to what degree these creoles are intercomprehensible with English (and thus to what degree they are either dialects or separate languages), but mentioning them on the List of dialects probably wouldn't cause any problems. — Ливай | ☺ 06:26, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Notable linguistic topic. Capitalistroadster 10:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Creole is a name for a group of languages and a mechanism by which a new language forms. This article approaches the subject from the point of view of linguistics, whereas the List of dialects of the English language is more concerned with demographics. Inconsistency need not be a problem if you don't want it to be, but it would be nice to have this article fitted in as a link from the list as a "see also". --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:37, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Cleanup is needed but this is a valid topic.

• Agree, redirect to Creole language, since not all English-based Creoles are Caribbean. Most, however, are called Fooan Creole English. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 09:04, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
