Support

edit
  1.   Support: I have no issue with this but I motion that Frankish entries be moved to Proto-West Germanic, not deleted as @Rua has been doing, in order to preserve the edit history of those entries. I'd like to also see this remedied retroactively. --{{victar|talk}} 22:07, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't know enough to support, but I agree with the above. Rua does a lot of great work around here, but it would be nice to see her working a little less unilaterally. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 22:33, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Rua, I ask that you desist in creating PWG entries that are duplicates of Frankish entries before this vote is out. @Andrew Sheedy, Fay Freak: --{{victar|talk}} 18:22, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    That seems a bit extra (adj. sense 3). I get where you're coming from, but given the circumstances it's imo better to just say: in the unlikely case this vote fails, please undo all recent edits that are affected by this vote - no need to hinder the good work she's doing right now, surely. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 18:38, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    @Mnemosientje: I only ask that because she's now intentionally targeting Frankish entries. I find that quite a disturbing reply (retaliation?) to this vote. --{{victar|talk}} 19:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    We're taking issue with her approach regardless of the outcome of the vote. It would be better to move pages she has been deleting and recreating, in order, as Victar pointed out, to preserve the edit history. She seems to have stopped now though. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 21:52, 17 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
    She's still specifically targeting Frankish entries for duplication. If anything is extra, it's that. --{{victar|talk}} 18:43, 24 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Support Not seen what she has been doing but if so then same. Fay Freak (talk) 23:29, 16 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  7.   Support Gnosandes (talk) 20:30, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  8.   Support and keep Frankish entries as they are until after vote. There's tons of deleted Frankish entries whose subsequent redlinks have messed up etymologies; i.e. readers have no way to get to the further PGmc/PWG root (see guipure). It'll be fixed when the vote (probably) passes but still. Julia ☺ ☆ 00:38, 10 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain

edit
  1.   Abstain. Don't know enough about it, although from what I've seen, I would support this if I knew more. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 07:40, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  2.   Abstain I don't see anything obviously wrong with the proposal, and I do not feel like getting deeper into the subject. Thank you for creating the vote. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:37, 14 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
