Istro-Romanian grammar
- Template:La – (View log)
unecnyclopedic. More of a grammar guide/glossary, which wikipedia is not. For now, it is unreferenced, but although that can be fixed, the article would need a complete rewrite to become encyclopedic. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 20:18, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- What it needs is cleanup which AFD is not. Uncle G (talk) 21:04, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comments. I don't think however that the article needs anything less than a complete rewrite, or I wouldn't have brought it to AfD. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 21:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- The cleanup tag for a complete rewrite is Template:Tl not Template:Tls. Please read Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup. This is Articles for deletion. Do not bring articles here where an administrator hitting a delete button isn't the solution to the problem. Even editors without accounts have all of the tools necessary for rewriting articles.

- Speedy keep, nom's concerns are invalid. I agree with Uncle G here, the article needs cleanup not rewriting. I've placed a Template:Tl tag on it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 22:31, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep: There are scores of grammar articles. See Category:Grammars of specific languages. — [ ric | opiaterein ] — 00:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep per the existence of perfectly valid other articles like English grammar and Portuguese grammar, even if this is a minority language.-h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 04:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment It seems that this is a snowball keep. In my personal judgement I still think it should be deleted, but it makes no sense to let this AfD continue. Instead, I'll go take another long look at other articles and guidelines. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 11:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
