[edit] Oldspeak (Traditional English)

strange fork of newspeak; should probably be a redir to english as nobody will ever search for this anyway M1ss1ontomars2k4 00:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Comment Yeah, it took me a minute or two to realize that it was referring to Nineteen Eighty-Four Metros232 01:27, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Merge to Newspeak ha! the word does exist somewhere on the internet! Whether you know it or not, check out the new updated site for Oldspeak! --Lord X 20:04, 7 May 2006 (UTC)User:Xinyu
    • Comment huh? you hath confuseth me. What exists on the internet? and Oldspeak is still a redir to newspeak. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 00:43, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete pure Original Research, useless as a redirect. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 05:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - this article belongs on Uncyclopedia. -- Tangotango 08:24, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - The article actually criticises wikipedia for not allowing original thought.. clearly encyclopedias are not meant to provide original thought but rather facts.. -- javsav

  • I haven't read Nineteen Eighty-Four in a few years, so I don't remember for sure whether this term was in there. I don't believe it was. If not, a redirect is not appropriate. Delete unless it happens that the word does appear in the original work. Joyous | Talk 13:57, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per Crzrussian.--blue520 14:09, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete I'm not sure Oldspeak is even in 1984. It seems more like something the writer made up on their own? --Matterbug 14:33, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete and do not merge due to original research and duplication. Oldspeak is in 1984, and the article Oldspeak is a redirect to Newspeak, which already includes all of the useful information from this article. Also see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whiteblack.
