Language Construction Kit was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live.

This will never be encyclopaedic, and it's completely unnecessary -- there's already a link to Mark Rosenfelder's Language Construction Kit in constructed language, I don't think there's any reason to have an article on the Kit on top of that. The next thing we'll have an article for Mark's Verdurian grammar page, for his Almean Belief Systems page, for his Descent of Lesüasi page, for his Cadhinor grammar page, for his Ismaîn grammar page, for his Elkarîl grammar page, for his Flaidish grammar page, for his... - Cymydog Naakka 22:01, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • Weak delete. It's a handy resource, and considered the beginners' guide to conlanging by many conlangers, but I don't think it really merits an article. — Gwalla | Talk 00:47, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I agree that the Kit is a handy resource -- it had a huge effect on my own conlanging though I have later abandoned my 'langs of that time, and it was through the Kit that I was introduced to Mark's Almea conworld and thus the ZBB board, so I owe my life to the LCK. The reason I listed it here was simply that I didn't think either that it in itself quite merits an article. - Cymydog Naakka 20:01, 5 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Should at least be a redirect; keep would be OK with me. -- Jmabel 01:29, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Concur with Jmabel. People looking for the kit should be redirected to the correct article. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|(talk)]] 09:05, Oct 6, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete and make it a redirect, I guess. I'm no fan of conlangs of any stripe; too easy, too nebbishy, too private, too transient, too hobbyist. Geogre 16:59, 8 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • There is a Conlang guide project at Wikibooks. Anything useful should be merged there. Tuf-Kat 18:16, Oct 8, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. -- Djinn112 22:10, 10 Oct 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. This is a very notable document, and it is practically the guidebook for a great deal of the Internet conlanging community. -Branddobbe 05:41, Oct 20, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia is not a mere collection of external links. --[[User:Eequor|η♀υωρ]] 12:41, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
