The result was speedy close. For starters, this redirect should have been sent to Project:Redirects for discussion, not AFD, for deletion. On top of that, even Britannica's "Tibeto-Burman languages" article acknowledges that "the North Loloish subgroup" is called Yi by some people. Where this redirect should point, and how the language family should be discussed overall, is not a matter for AFD. Uncle G (talk) 19:59, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yi != Nuosu ––虞海 (Yú Hǎi) ✍ 11:50, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- No, if the main content is now at Nuosu, the Yi Languages should redirect there because most, including myself, would have gone looking for Yi, not Nuosu. Akerbeltz (talk) 12:53, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- 虞海, what's your reason for saying Yi ≠ Nuosu, anyway? --JorisvS (talk) 13:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Well it does say so on the Nuosu page. Akerbeltz (talk) 14:22, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah sorry I misread the funny !=. Both Nuosu and Nuosu language say that Nuosu is the endonym for Yi now used. So we redirect. Akerbeltz (talk) 14:25, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- It used to be a redirect. 虞海 changed that (kind of), only to propose it here one minute later. --JorisvS (talk) 18:42, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I restored the redirect, let's not waste any more time on such a spurious AfD nomination. Akerbeltz (talk) 19:17, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
