Would this not be better to expand? Vininn126 (talk) 12:05, 20 December 2021 (UTC)

@Vininn126: If we had someone up for the task, sure, but until then I don't see the point in having an empty about page around. If someone wants to extend it, they can do so even if it was deleted (though maybe we should clarify that this deletion is without prejudice, i.e. with no consensus required before recreation). Note also that the last new entry in Category:Adyghe_lemmas was added on October 3, 2021, the 10th last in mid 2020. — Fytcha〈 T | L | C 〉 01:08, 11 January 2022 (UTC)

• Delete This has no content. If it had anything useful to understand the basic features of the grammar or any kind of spelling conventions that we prefer here or anything at all, it would be worth keeping. Otherwise, we could have 6,000 about pages that are just "x is a language from place/belonging to subfamily" and that wouldn't actually aid us in making a dictionary. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 01:14, 11 January 2022 (UTC)
