Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Klingonaase

[edit]Keep and Bullshitting by the people who proposed and forced this through quicker than a dime in a parking meeter - The person(s) pushing this completely know nothing of the field. Klingonaase existed for years before Okrand's Klingon. There were many references available, but they keep getting edited out. John Ford isn't the only one to use it. It included words from many sources, not just Ford's work. Okrand's Hol is very structured in terms of phonology, whereas Klingonaase could take in words (like English) from other sources. Many official novels, such as Pawns & Symbols for example, have words that clearly are not Hol, but are taken as Klingonaase. Half the quadrant knows this. I'm saddened that instead of increasing knowledge, edits and merges like these (which subsume Klingonaase into an article about Hol, created years AFTER Klingonaase) decrease knowledge. A shame. --76.179.60.206 (talk) 02:58, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Keep There are a lot of other sources of Klingonese other than John Ford. Perhaps it would be better to create a new article called "Klingon languages" where meta-discussion of this, and the history of Okrand's tlhIngnan Hol etc. would reside. Then "Klingon language (Okrand)" would be the existing article and uniquely cover that specific language. --Sturmde (talk) 19:46, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
