• Delete per WP:WEB, I suppose, although there are other categories into which one might place this; it is, in any case, non-notable. Joe 04:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete' per WP:WEB, Alexa ranking of 48,278 [1] --TBC^{??? ??? ???} 05:19, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete but preserve the information as an external link at linguistics. The site itself is a pretty good link repository. Smerdis of Tlön 15:01, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and Merge per Smerdis. I agree that it's a good website, but all this article is is a weblink. RGTraynor 16:03, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete add link at linguistics Funky Monkey 00:55, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Smerdis, but be sure to add the link to Linguistics--WilliamThweatt 01:06, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
• Unsure thought i would point out the LinguistList was responsible for the creation of the ancient language codes that are now part of ISO639-3....also a powerful player in the online linguistic world. just saying... Hospitalhill 03:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
• Keep This was once one of the giants of the internet, and is the website for linguistic information sharing and discussion. Of course, this isn't reflected in the article as is, but it should be. --Drmaik 16:45, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I only know about the project because of ISO 639-3 and feel this alone is reason enough to mention them in wikipedia, so I've extended and wikified the article a little to reflect this and to make it a little more viable as a true article/stub and notable per WP:WEB. Others may want to improve on the article and add info on other activities of the project. Cheers nl:Pudding4brains
• Keep based on new info.-Polotet 00:41, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

This article was substantially changed towards the end of the discussion, indicated by the line. To generate a fair result I am relisting this on today's AfD page. Thryduulf 18:09, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

• Merge with ISO 639-3. If the material is expanded, it can be split into a separate article again. Peter Grey 05:02, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Keep. The mailing list is used by prominent linguists worldwide. A quick search to Google Scholar yields 652 results, including mentions in many academic papers [2]. Ziggurat 21:30, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
