Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/European English
Personal project of an SAP consultant named David Jacob, a project whose entire existence seems to be a wiki here and a web page here. It appears to fit "Problems that may require deletion" in a couple of ways:
- Original research, with too little progress or evidence of significant support
- Wikipedia is not a soapbox, part of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not
- Idiosyncratic, and not in the same category as the other entries on the List of dialects of the English language

- Delete. I suspect it's a promotional article by the originator of the scheme. Beyond this and the web page of the project itself, I find no real discussion of this scheme elsewhere. DoubleBlue (Talk) 05:49, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

- Delete: Advertising/announcement and original research. I was almost interested in the title, though, as there is something unusual about the phonology of English in Europe (excluding the UK). The continental vowel schemes result in a broadened and deepened pronunciation that ought to be studied, as it appears that it is becoming standardized, but then that study needs to be summarized here and not conducted here.

- Delete Very odd 'OR'. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:09, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

- Keep Looks to me like this is a legitimate project. I found a professor writing on the implications of European English for the EU and Europe in general[1], and a google search for "European English" and EU returns just over 2,000 results. It doesnt seem to be a personal project to me.
