[edit] Dal'qörian

Dal'qörian (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

One-man conlang, but that's not a speedy category IMO. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 12:09, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Delete as per WP:NFT. A non-notable new language used by a single person or a small group of people. Michaelas10 (Talk) 12:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above. MER-C 12:22, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  As stated in the notability rules, this is NOT something which was thought up one day in school. Dayle Hill —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dale34 (talk • contribs)

It's just as bad. The location is irrelevant, the guideline still applies in spirit. MER-C 13:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Careful about biting the newbies. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 13:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I've rephreased. MER-C 13:24, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Cool, thanks for doing that. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 14:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as non-notable and as self-admitted original research. "The reason I created this page... was because I wanted fans of invented languages to be able to see my work." If you wish fans of invented languages to see your work, you may want to consider starting a blog. - Eron 13:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. List it on Langmaker.com, the most popular conlanging directory in the web (and now it's a wiki too). --Neigel von Teighen 13:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  With respect, using terms such as 'we don't care' seems an unprofessional opinion given your status, and disrespectful towards someones work, irrespective of how meaningless it is to an individual. I gather Esperanto began at home, probably Elvish too, and yes, while I realise that these are known worldwide, they still share the same humble beginnings as my own. Creating a page on here about a fictional language is not just a schoolboy fad, it can be educational. User: Dale34

I've toned down my comment, but the guideline still applies. You shouldn't have to write about stuff you made up, other people will do it for you when it is sufficiently notable. MER-C 13:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Fair enough, point taken. Although I still feel this and other pages like it could have values. Thanks User:Dale34

Dale, as I wrote above, your place is Langmaker or also Conlang Wikia; there you won't have to worry about having your article deleted mainly because it fits perfectly! --Neigel von Teighen 16:53, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Delete As many other people have learned, Wikipedia is not the place to try to make your new story/conlang/theory/word/manga popular. Danny Lilithborne 20:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
  And what a shame it isnt. It's not offensive, derogatory, misleading. It gives insight, inspiration and education to those who are interested. At least allow me to finish the article before considering a delete?User:Dale34
• Strongest possible Delete per WP:COI and WP:NOT. Wikipedia is absolutely not and never, never should be for getting publicity or attention for things. We work very hard to ensure that all articles on Wikipedia are about things that have already received significant independent third-party interest. If it wasn't, we'd be inundated with spam and ads from a million places. Once your conlang has been noticed and talked about by relevant, independent third parties, an article would be appropriate - but not one created by you. --Charlene 00:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
  Hmmmmm? It seems the gang has me cornered on this one and been slightly rattled! Ok, I accept defeat and bow out! User:Dale34

Another comment: Stop biting a newcommer. The idea is clear and that's it. It's not COI; it's only a mistake. --Neigel von Teighen 19:25, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Its a good job my skin is as thick as a rhino's ass, lol! Dale

I've resolved the issue..the page is gone. It was more than apparent that it was going anyway. User: Dale34
