Maritimer English

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A search for references found no published (gBooks) support for this article, fails WP:N and WP:V. Prod removed with comment "sources don't have to be entire books and gbooks often rarely has canadian books which this is likely to be....for such a well written article I think afd is better than prod"[1].

Keep and Rename to Canadian Maritime English, and mention current name as an alternate. There are a number of Google Books references that discuss this dialect using the longer name. Cullen328 (talk) 18:01, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, :) yes you are correct the number is Three. I did not find those. Jeepday (talk) 18:26, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep There are plenty of sources (more here) so this should be no more than a debate about the article's name.--Pontificalibus (talk) 20:22, 25 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Someone can sort out a redirect for the other possible title (I got in a mess with the last one I did, so don't look at me...). Otherwise, stick some sources in and it's fine, Peridon (talk) 00:33, 26 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

When the debate closes (looking like keep), I will make the move if the closing admin does not. Jeepday (talk) 11:41, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I support the move to Maritime English, but it should be noted that a common term for the dialect is "Maritimer". I haven't read the article (yet) but am aware of a sharp difference between Caper, Bluenoser, South Shore, Island, and New Brunswick - are they all considered the same dialect, or are they a group of dialects?Skookum1 (talk) 08:46, 30 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
