[edit] Mehri language

As stated in the Talk Page, the whole content is false. The article is a joke. GhePeU 08:29, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. This article in the Yemen Times contains a reference to the Mahari language see [1]. The page of this professor of Semitic studies at Heidelberg University refers to it on this page see [2]. This academic from Haifa university refers to research he has done into the language see [3]. It seems to be a language that is at risk of dying out. The article needs to be wikified but seems to be fine. Capitalistroadster 09:07, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with comment If an Armenian Empire controlled Yemen (let alone Ethiopia and the Nile!), I'd be curious to know when. It appears the language exists from the first two links but the content of this article is indeed a joke. I'm going to clip this to one sentence. Unfortunately, the third link is censored for me :( Marskell 10:15, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per [4] and others. This appears to be a genuine language or dialect. It could benefit form the attention of an expert, though. Just zis Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] :: AfD? 10:32, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and improve. Real language. Perodicticus 11:34, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. For above reasons.--Alicejenny 12:48, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It's in Ethnologue - article could do with some expansion. [5] Dlyons493 Talk 13:22, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, current version is a decent stub. (vote by Isotope23) -- Kjkolb 20:24, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I have added a little information, some links, and a language table. It would be good for somebody who knows more than I do to expand it. Logophile 15:44, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It is a real language. See the Ethnologue [6]. ♠DanMS 16:04, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Poorly researched and poorly supported AfD nomination.--Nicodemus75 07:10, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep rewritten version. But considering the state the article was in at the time of AfD nomination, I don't blame Ghepeu for nominating it. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 19:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
