Frankish is an early form of Old Dutch/Old High German, and there doesn't seem to be a particular point to having this extra layer in between. WT:AGEM says "As a special exception, it's preferred not to include Frankish reconstructions unless a language other than Dutch has a term derived from it (for example French or Medieval Latin)." —CodeCat 22:25, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- The solution isn't to delete the entry, but move it to a new Old Dutch entry. --Victar (talk) 22:48, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

- As to your citing of WT:AGEM, I think there are many legitimate reasons to create a reconstruction with only one descendant, and such examples are easy to find. For instance, reconstructions from published works. I also find it poor form to cite one's own words as if they're Ten Commandments. --Victar (talk) 02:15, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- Why not just move to Reconstruction:Old Dutch/beki? —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 10:52, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- Yep, that's been my recommendation twice now. --Victar (talk) 15:11, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
