 * Keep but it needs expansion. Many of the Covenant names for their species are in Swahili, so all the Covenant pages, (Elites, Jackals, Grunts) need to explain exactly which language their from. I'll look into it later, and maybe that'll get this article keeped.  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  20:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Why not just link to the Wikipedia article? --Dragonclaws 21:48, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Oh, I hadn't thought of that... but it could still be expanded and have more Halo-related information than the Wikipedia article.  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  23:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep this is the language used in New Mombassa, you can hear it over the city's intercom.--User:JohnSpartan117 23:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete For the most part unrelated. It's a language used in the universe, so what? Are we going to have articles about English, Latin, and French too? This is why the rule "Halopedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information" was introduced. If there's ever information released about a fictional alien language, that would make sense having an article about. But for known Earth languages that pre-exist, we should just link to Wikipedia for more info. --Dragonclaws 00:21, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Okay, so rather than having information about the language, we should take that out, link to Wikipedia, and only have information about the Halo universe. I'll ask Wu if he's okay with us just taking their translations and putting them here, so we don't have to link to them, and then we could also have info about why they relate to the Halo Universe, and stuff like that, or something...  guesty - persony - thingy  01:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. But needs expansion. Perhaps the quotes from the game and their translations could be listed on the page.  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 18:38, 19 January 2007

Translation
Would it be possible to copy some (or all) of the translations from the link listed to Halopedia? That way the article would be more valid (and kinda interesting), and might not be deleted. Does someone wanna check into the copyright issue with regards to the other site? --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 13:58, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
