The result was Keep. In the end, not even the nominator was arguing for deleting this article. The only remaining point of contention was whether or not there should be an article on Ebonics distinct from the article on African American Vernacular English. There was not absolute consensus on this point, but a number of commentators presented strong arguments that the two subjects are distinct, and many other participants seem to be agreeing, so this deletion discussion is closed without any AFD-mandated merging of the two articles. I encourage interested participants to discuss what content belongs at what article on the respective talk pages, outside the context of a deletion discussion.

This article contains information that already exists in African American Vernacular English. The African American Vernacular English article uses the phrase "Ebonics" in a context that implies it is the same term as AAVE and vise versa. Any novel information in this article could easily be merged with the AAVE article considering the terms are synonymous. Wikidudeman (talk) 02:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, It's already been suggested that the AAVE page be renamed to "Ebonics". The "Ebonics" page has no justification for existing.Wikidudeman (talk) 02:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
