[edit] Slovenian or Slovene

A page created solely due to an internal dispute concerning the usage of either Slovenian or Slovene (the former is more common) with Eleassar and BT2 being the main protagonists. Non-encyclopedic wiki-internal conflict page. This info can either be covered in about two sentences in just about any article about Slovenians or the Slovenian language. Delete or redirect to Slovenian. Peter ^Isotalo 17:13, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. User:Karmosin is simply wrong. First, although I contributed heavily to the discussion, the main protagonists of the conflict that participated in edit wars were User:XJamRastafire and User:BT2. Second, while this has been a wiki-internal dispute, the topic has frequently been brought up in non-wiki discussions both online and offline. This can be easily demonstrated by the sheer number of texts written on this question by experts (e.g. Edward Gobetz, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Kent State University and founding director of Slovenian Research Center of America and others) and at the same time this also demonstrates that the topic can be covered in two sentences no more easily than any other. I suggest you seeing these links before voting: [1], [2], [3] etc. Also have a look at Talk:Slovenians. --Eleassar my talk 15:22, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
  • There is no relevant encyclopedic POV involved in any of the links. This information belongs in a Manual of Style or just general Slovene info webpages. The rest is just a lot of meta-debate about clever semantics. It doesn't even count as valid dictionary info because almost no one cares. Like one of the links points out: "Both are acceptable. Neither one is wrong. Consistency is always nice." End of story. / Peter ^Isotalo 22:41, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete pointless. Maybe this stuff should belong in Wiktionary.  Grue  20:04, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
