This is a how-to page, and totally unencyclopædic. It's not discernibly likely that any of this material is likely to become encyclopædic or be changeable to a non-how-to format. Irbisgreif (talk) 21:07, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Interesting idea, but completely unusable, and would have to be totally re-written. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 23:47, 26 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Transwiki to Wikibooks, seems like something for them... this article has been here since 2004? 76.66.197.30 (talk) 02:11, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Very useful. I see no reason why this would be a "how-to" as it clearly states facts, not steps how to achieve something. It's a list similar to others in the context of grammar, i.e. English conjugation tables. --PaterMcFly talk ^contribs 13:33, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Being useful does not make a page worth keeping. Also, this is totally aside, but that article needed a rewrite something fierce. Irbisgreif (talk) 18:26, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Either keep or move to Wikipedia:Language recognition chart. We should keep something like this around to help us identify the languages of articles that are written in foreign languages but erroneously placed here on the English Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:10, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Move to Wikipedia:Language recognition chart. Good work (as far as I could check it) and useful to have around, but not in main namespace, because of No original research and other rules on what Wikipedia is not. --Lambiam 18:58, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment it appears that this is repeatedly moved from the project space to the mainspace. Irbisgreif (talk) 19:09, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as unencylopedic original research, but transwiki somewhere appropriate. A surprising number of editors have worked on this over the last six years(!), and it's oddly useful.--Chris Johnson (talk) 19:19, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and retitle as Language recognition. their are refs for that, dating back (by memory) to Loom of Language. DGG ( talk ) 19:48, 27 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
