Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Slovio

Slovio
This constructed language lacks verifiability and I posit that it therefore goes against our policy on original research. Attempting to find evidence of actual use by live speakers or notability brings up nothing useful. The main mention of the language is at http://www.slovio.com, which is a website set up and maintained by the language's creator, Mark Hucko. Other sites that show up in search results simply cite that website as a reference. Of note is the AFD at Wikipedia that removed its entry there, with a closure note that "No reliable sources have been presented to show verifiability". They'd have found any if there were any. – Adrignola talk 16:08, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Given Adrignola's findings and the failed WP DR, I think this books should be deleted. Kayau (talk &#124; email &#124; contribs) 09:04, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * wikt:Slovio might be a (week) counter example of discussion where the page was kept. Less week might be w:de:Slovio where the English deletion was mentioned on the talk page but the article was still kept. Perhaps this is because even in the English deletion discussion they mention a/some German references, or maybe its because the English decision to delete is 3 years out of date.
 * I think that most websites mention and link to the creator's website is a week argument for deletion as well. Websites that discuss software (firefox, internet explorer), programming languages (python, perl, visual basic), and other things often mention, link to, and refer to their creator's or the maintainer's website. I think the issue should be whether these other websites are noteworthy to people in the ConLang communit(y/ies) and if they provide any review of the language which people could use to study the language independently or if people would need to goto the creator's website in order to learn the language properly. Just for fun, Google turned up between 44,000 and 772,000 results depending on how I attempted to exclude slovio.com as a reference.
 * I found http://www.panslavia.com/index-e.html ("World Slavic Congress") when looking at some of the results for Slovio. There are 10 scholarly results for "World Slavic Congress" which might make it a notable source. The English Wikipedia deletion discussion seemed to be a bit cynical and believed there was some connection between the "World Slavic Congress", Slovio and some other websites simply because of a similar website design, which I think is a week argument as well. I think a stronger connection with the language's creator than "they might have the same website designer" is needed to rule out websites like the World Slavic Congress as possible proof that Slovio is notable. There are 268 scholarly results for Slovio as well with 50 being since 2007. --dark lama  11:01, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I also found that the German Wikipedia article survived a deletion nomination in 2007. --dark lama  11:15, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
