Talk:Meitei language varieties

Merge?
Should this be merged into Manipuri phrasebook? Pashley (talk) 13:42, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * The article is just created a few minutes ago. It will elongated further in deep details like those of English language varieties. So, it will be normal for being an independent article but would be too over detailed for being a section of Meitei phrasebook, in my opinion. :-) Haoreima (talk) 14:04, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * Haoreima, the reason for the English language varieties is that this is English-language Wikivoyage, and these are differences between different dialects of English that might cause confusion. It would make no sense to have an English phrasebook on this site. Meitei is a foreign language, so if English-speakers need to know about regional differences for a ~2-week trip, they have to be part of the Meitei phrasebook. If they're overly detailed, please remove them as beyond the scope of Wikivoyage travel guides. Ikan Kekek (talk) 19:46, 1 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I think it is already too detailed for a travel guide; most of the content would fit better in an encyclopedia article. All the phrasebook needs is a short summary, a sentence or two. Pashley (talk) 20:27, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree. My eyes are glazing over. Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:37, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
 * I'd recommend merging relevant content if there is any and then redirecting. If there is no relevant content, I'd recommend straight-up deletion. Haoreima, do we need to delete this article, or could you determine what small subset of information on this page could be useful to people traveling for about 2 weeks in your area?

 * @Ikan Kekek Instead of deleting, could you please redirect this page into a section at the page Manipuri phrasebook, adding some useful information from here? The information contained here are not at all waste, because such are already available in Chinese and Spanish phrasebooks too. I agree with the merging but not the absolute deletion of this page.

 * My friend, you are the one who knows the language, so please take care of merging the content that's actually relevant for this kind of phrasebook, keeping in mind that it has to be relevant to people who are visiting for at most a summer. Ikan Kekek (talk) 20:33, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
