please remove the deletion template really I would like this article to stay--Max Randor 09:13, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- KeepI have endeavoured to make this article more like an article and less like a Theseus - it is not meant to be a thesaurus but rather a useful resource for when writers have writers block and cannot think of a better way of describing how something is said such as different sentence structures, word orders, words. and perhaps something on the origins of the description of speech as well.--Max Randor 10:09, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Moderate keep I think this article could actually be useful, especially the linguistics information at the top. It should be expanded to be more encyclopaedic, and possibly merged into a related linguistics article. Pcu123456789 14:33, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

would this page be a good place to discuss grammatical issues surrounding reported speech? Or is there already a page for that?Andycjp 10:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
