Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Reduction (linguistics)
Delete- This article is saying that sez is a reduction of (says) Excuse me, but how is sez a reduction of says? That's how says is pronounced even in isolation. sez is only a more phonetic spelling spelling than says. sez is how the word says is pronounced. It's not a reduction 205.188.116.132 03:16, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Could use some expansion, but it is a legit linguistic concept. -- BDAbramson talk 14:31, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)
- Keep. Article is well-written, informative, and encyclopaedic. To the original anon IP: It all depends on how you pronounce "says". jglc | t | c 15:10, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep: it is a perfectly ligitimate but someone does need to do a little more with the article, maybe even consider it as a stub for expansion. By the way, this is the second legit article from Category:Phonology that I've seen put on VfD by a user from IP number 205.188.166.xxx. The other is Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/H-cluster reductions. Bambaiah 05:12, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. It's true that sez is not a reduction of says, but that's hardly a ground for deletion of the whole article. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 06:27, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
