  • Delete. A stub about the fictional language of a fictional place. RickK 02:33, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • That's a very popular and famous conlang. It's spoken for a large micronation, with many members who create words for it. Talossan is perhaps best known for having probably the largest vocabulary of any non-auxiliary conlang -- well over 10,000 words, perhaps 15,000 if I remember correctly, all based on Romance language word roots. It's well-respected and aspired to across the conlang community for its large vocabulary, and is probably also the best-known example of the micronational language genre of conlang. Keep.

  • Perhaps this information (including the fact that it's a conlang, which isn't even mentioned) could be added to the article? RickK 02:45, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • Delete. Only 2,130 hits on Google, barely even shows up on the net. Daniel Quinlan 02:55, Nov 3, 2003 (UTC)

  • I've bumped into this numerous times over my web-surfing years. It's a real and prominent artificial language, probably more so than Toki Pona. No reason to delete. -- VV 05:49, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Just because a language has few speakers doesn't make it insignificant. Kricxjo 23:30, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've heard of it before; it likely has as many speakers as other minor constructed languages. But please, no longer historic sagas for the so-called micronation... -- Stephen Gilbert 00:04, 5 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Three votes to seven so I've taken this off VfD. Angela 00:24, Nov 7, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

It's a bit late now, but I just realized that in that vote I cast in November I confused Talossan with Taneraic. VV 07:27, 5 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Link

A bot on the Dutch Wikipedia just came to the conclusion that the first of the links, http://my.execpc.com/~talossa/glhetg.html, is dead. Is that a temporary thing or should it be removed from the article? —IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 22:55, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

IJzeren Jan, I think it’s permanent — Shm Jay, who is also a Talossan.

I have removed that link as it will never links to a page in the future since its editor, BEn Madison, has (hopefuly) cut his links with Talossa. --Elistir 12:28, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Using What to do when a reference link "goes dead" as guidance, I replaced the dead link with a link to an archived version. Also, since Wikipedia apparently frowns on links to message boards, I replaced both forum links with links to each Talossa's language reference page. PubliusFL 22:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Original research

the article does not cite any independent sources that confirm the notability of the langauge and correctness of info about it. An article with sources only from language developers/fans is qualified as original research. `'mikka (t) 19:53, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

yes, imho the article should be deleted after all. Especially as it shows no sign of improving. It can always be recreated with proper references. dab (ᛏ) 23:04, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Would this link help..?

I guess it counts as an independent source?

It certainly does. Thank you for that! —IJzeren Jan Uszkiełtu? 14:58, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
