Reconstruction talk:Proto-Niger-Congo/kĩtu

RFD discussion: April–May 2019
Lots of problems here, but the entry itself calls it a "pseudo-reconstruction". We shouldn't be reconstructing Proto-Niger-Congo at all, because the research simply hasn't reached a mature enough point to decide whether this is something that can be reconstructed. I move that we delete this entry and make Proto-Niger-Congo an etymology-only language. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 19:53, 12 April 2019 (UTC)
 * I agree with deleting this entry, but I'm not sure if Proto-Niger-Congo should be etymology-only. Proto-Niger-Congo verb extensions have been reconstructed (see Voeltz (1977)), so it would be possible to have entries for those. I'm not aware of anything else that has been reconstructed though.

 * Thanks for commenting. We don't necessarily need to decide now, but do you really think Voeltz's dissertation is a solid enough reconstruction, especially given the attempt to tie it into a hypothetical Niger-Kordofanian? —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 01:08, 8 May 2019 (UTC)


 * RFD failed. No action taken on PNC. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 05:21, 21 May 2019 (UTC)
