[edit] Anus language

hoax --Bachrach44 16:16, 1 December 2005 (UTC) Well, Capitalistroadster has convinced me. I officially rescind my call for deletion, and replace it with a call for Speedy Keep. I'm not entirely convinced the original article was entirely well intentioned (especially given that users only other edit), but that is still no excuse for me not doing further research. I apologize and as penance will do some link repair this weekend. :-) --Bachrach44 20:31, 1 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Looks like patent {{nonsense}}. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 16:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete - it is definitely nonsense. If you're going to create a language, at least try to be less obvious. --eleuthero 16:53, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • The page appears to have been the target of vandalism. The latest update to the page was most helpful, especially the outside links--just another dying tribal language. *Keep--eleuthero 18:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep this is a real language spoken by a tribal group living in an island off Irian Jaya see Ethnologue [1]. There are a couple of articles linking here in What Links Here. I have rewritten the article so that it is about the actual language not a schoolboy joke. Capitalistroadster 17:47, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • o.O: What an unfortunate name for a language. Keep, though I suspect it will be a target of vandalism along the lines of "Jim Carrey is regarded as a fluent speaker..." BJAODN the original version I guess. Did you have prior knowledge of this language, or just a really strange hunch? — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 18:17, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
    • I can't even believe how quickly your prediction came true. (already reverted). --Bachrach44 19:57, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
      • Actually I made the mistake of predicting a more dignified flavor of vandalism in reference to Ace Ventura. I do regret that I missed seeing it happen as I was designing a specialized barnstar at the time. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 20:25, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
      • BTW this edit might have provoked it. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 20:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
  • I was going to cast a vote for speedy delete as silly vandalism when I did a Google search which came up with the links in the article. I then checked the "What Links Here" and came up with the Sarmi language links. I suspect that the vandals probably created it from scratch rather than through the links because the average vandal probably isn't aware of the Sarmi languages. Capitalistroadster 18:32, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep see above, it's real. This google search shows that the list of Sarmi languages is real, including the oddly named one we're discussing. Dave6 18:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - real language. -Meegs 20:44, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• I suggest merge this language with the group that speaks it or the language group. This would help it avoid becoming a vandalism/silliness target. For a an example of a merged language and ethnic group, see Gullah. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep - nom changed mind, real language, etc. Might sound funny that there's an anus language, but in another language its obviously real. Funny, but true. Maybe someone should list it somewhere? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, and BJAODN the original version, especially since its a real language.... Remember to do that! Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 06:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
    • Done — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 13:34, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
• Comment ON a related note, someone just made a page called FartButts, which was already been deleted and BJAODNed. --Bachrach44 00:25, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
