[edit] Cherokee Slang

Clearly against Wikipedia is not an slang or idiom guide. James084 18:51, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• I have been contacted by Waya sahoni concerning this article and his desire to either 1) improve the article or 2) transwiki the article elsewhere. Furthermore, the article has evidently been accepted by the Wikipedia:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America. Based on these facts, I am more than willing to retract my nomination and/or vote to Keep the article to allow the WikiProject and/or Waya sahoni to improve it.

• Delete per nom.--み使い Mitsukai 20:17, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nominator.--Isotope23 20:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

• I'd like to retain the content if at all possible, because I think this is interesting and important. Suggest maybe a Transwiki of the list to wikisource and then a link & mention in the Cherokee Language article, if that is at all possible.--Isotope23 14:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as per nom.  (aeropagitica)  20:45, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as nominated. -- Krash (Talk) 21:21, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, but can any info be salvaged for the main article on the Cherokee language? I hope someone can check, as there is a reference given. --DanielCD 21:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki, but Merge some mention into the main Cherokee language article. I think it's important for us to say that yes, we do strongly feel that knowledge of these languages is important to the posterity of all humanity, and their details matter. I think much of this information has value and see no reason to delete it outright. I would also be willing to use my knowlege of the workings of Wikipedia to assist in any effort to counter criticisms about the article and help improve it. Also, I propose that all votes that simply give a "per nom" basis for their vote default to the end view of the nominator. If they don't care enough to return and counteract this proposal, they the likely don't care anyway. Keep in mind these are discussions, not outright votes, so a "vote:per nom", while valid, doesn't carry a lot of weight. --DanielCD 17:37, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Maybe transwiki to wikisource?--Isotope23 21:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki as was done with many examples of Cockney rhyming slang, and keep a few examples perhaps in Cherokee language if appropriate. Carlossuarez46 01:20, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki seems the best place for this. I can verify that the content is pretty much one of a kind, and I doubt Wikipedia would ever get access to this type of content. The language constructs are also correct. Waya sahoni 03:27, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki per Carlos. Kappa 05:27, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Transwiki seems best. The Cherokee language article has no examples of any Cherokee words, slang or otherwise. Adding too much of this would overwhelm it. Rmhermen 14:43, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment I think a mention would be most beneficial, and perhaps one or two examples only. Care should be taken, as per your point, not to overdo it. --DanielCD 17:45, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

I have completed Transwiki of the Article into the Wikitionary. To the closing editor, verify the content has been preserved in the Wikitionary then the article should be archived if possible, but removed from the namespace. Waya sahoni 04:10, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
