[edit] Central Pennsylvania accent

The article violates WP:OR. It has no basis outside of the opinions that the person who wrote the article, and the contributers have. The one website used as a reference has little or no information that is actually used in the article itself. MBob 23:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. We actually don't know whether it's original research or just lacking in citations. Most of the article seems to be written in NPOV and is, in principle, verifiable. I'd favor adding a {{Citation needed}} tag and then letting editors elaborate, critique, whittle away, or qualify as needed. Interlingua ^talk 21:56, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. The external link in the article is good enough evidence that this exists; I feel it is just notable enough for inclusion. I also agree with Interlingua on everything. Grandmasterka 04:38, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

*Keep.  : You've got to keep this!!! I grew up in Alexandria and never knew anyone there had an accent until I moved away for too many years. Upon returning after many years, I could then hear the accent. This article has a LOT of truth in it. I may decide to quibble with a few items but by and large, it should definitely be kept.

• Delete unless citations added that show that this isn't original research. Stifle (talk) 16:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
