Question: Regardless of the current state of sourcing and individual expectations to the scope of the project, how does deleting this article make Wikipedia a better encyclopedia? Sam Sailor 09:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, {{cite book}}s added, no problem meeting GNG. Sam Sailor 10:15, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as dialects are inherently notable. Though of course, if the nom would rather see all varieties of Malwi treated in a single article, they're welcome to merge them. – Uanfala (talk) 12:35, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In worst case scenario, I would opt for merge. --Saqib (talk) 17:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What does that mean? Sam Sailor 18:58, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Passes WP:GNG. Sources mentioned in RS are reliable. Accesscrawl (talk) 12:41, 16 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
