English Wikipedia is monolingual, thus modules like these two are not necessary. Only used in one user sandbox.

*'''Question''' - I apparently don't understand, but what is the benefit of deleting? [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 09:45, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

* '''Weak Keep''' The English Wikipedia is not monolingual – for example, [[WP:NONENG|our policy]] states that references may be in any language (or character set). This module may find use in future applications – such as fetching references from a central wikibase repository – and on balance, the effort of recreating it when it is needed probably outweighs the few kilobytes of server space that it takes up. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 12:54, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

*'''Comment'''' [[Module:Fallback]] is almost completely dependent on [[MediaWiki:Lang|a non-existent mediawiki message]]. [[User:Pppery|<span style="position:relative;top:10px">P</span>p<span style="position:relative;bottom:5px">p</span>]][[User talk:Pppery|e<big style="position:relative;top:10px">r</big>y]] 13:26, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' Fallback. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 20:20, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Linguistic. [[User:Robert McClenon|Robert McClenon]] ([[User talk:Robert McClenon|talk]]) 20:20, 17 June 2017 (UTC)

** Unfortunately, [[Module:Linguistic]] requires [[Module:Fallback]]: you can't delete the latter without breaking the former. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 00:17, 18 June 2017 (UTC)

*** Well, Module:Linguistic could be kept by forking the code Linguistic needs from Module:Fallback, e.g. by moving the langswitch function over.--[[User:Snaevar|Snaevar]] ([[User talk:Snaevar|talk]]) 09:54, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

**** In which case, Module:Linguistic itself would then be "almost completely dependent on [[MediaWiki:Lang|a non-existent mediawiki message]]", wouldn't it? --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 21:29, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

***** Technichally, [[Module:Linguistic]] isn't actually dependent on the message, even after one moves code from [[Module:Fallback]], because it doesn't actually get the language, but instead leaves the task to its caller. [[User:Pppery|<span style="position:relative;top:10px">P</span>p<span style="position:relative;bottom:5px">p</span>]][[User talk:Pppery|e<big style="position:relative;top:10px">r</big>y]] 01:06, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

*'''Delete both''' Module:Fallback is intended to show two users text in two different languages. No usecase has been mentioned for this. Module:Linguistic might be more helpful, but I do not see reference titles, etc. needing support for grammatical conjunction.--[[User:Snaevar|Snaevar]] ([[User talk:Snaevar|talk]]) 09:54, 24 June 2017 (UTC)
