[edit] Merge proposal

There are way to many individual pages for ISO-639 macrolanguages that are destined to be stubs. I propose that they be merged to this page and the ISO 639 macrolanguage category deleted. Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 20:16, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

I would agree to a merger of all the stubby individual ISO-639 macrolanguage pages to here, provided:
  1. we get rid of the table and replace each of the table line item into a section
  2. incorporate all information about each the macrolanguages and their quirks that may already be in the current individual pages (if any)
  3. the page retains a cohesive look from section to section

Sounds good to me. Ƶ§œš¹ [aɪm ˈfɻɛ̃ⁿdˡi] 22:09, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
Has my support as well. — Zerida 00:27, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
OK, they're merged with a basic boiler-plate language for each and every section, unless there was something there in the original stub page, then the boiler-plate language was modified just a bit to carry whatever that was in the stub page to here. I'll let someone else develop rest of the article from here on. CJLippert 22:52, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm impressed, and releaved that someone else did what I proposed. Thanks a lot, CJLippert! 00:19, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
