Division of Church Slavonic languages[edit]

Voting on: Separation of Old Church Slavonic and Russian Church Slavonic.

Rationale: English Wiktionary recognizes only one Church Slavonic language — Old Church Slavonic (OCS), but it’s incorrect because there exists a lot of CS languages, and all of them are extremely different. They have different letters, different paradigms, different vocabulary. OCS disintegrated in about XI century.

Oppose[edit]

  1. Oppose until I hear further. Not discussed and editors who have worked on OCS have not shown interest in splitting these in the past. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 08:39, 17 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Oppose the vote itself. This issue needs to be discussed first. --WikiTiki89 17:49, 19 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  3. Oppose for now; it needs more discussion first. Certainly RCS is different from OCS, but I don't know whether it's different enough to warrant being a separate language as opposed to a regional/temporal dialect; in other words, that tagging Russianisms with {{lb|cu|Russia}} or the like isn't sufficient. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 08:35, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain[edit]

  1. Abstain I'm pretty sure we can use WT:RFM to suggest splitting languages. I feel RFM implies discussing and possibly changing a proposal based on other's ideas, while votes are to implement something "set on stone" and already revised/discussed. --Daniel Carrero (talk) 12:39, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Abstain I know nothing about Church Slavonic languages, and I don't recall there being a discussion about this prior to the vote. Andrew Sheedy (talk) 17:42, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
