There are no legitimate sources that confirm that the subject of this page is a notable and unique phenomenon. It is common for nonnative speakers to insert words of their native language into their dialogue. We do not need a special article to tell people that Yiddish speakers do this as well. As is, the page only has one source, and is poorly written, acting more as a dictionary of English phrases adapted for Yiddish, than as an actuall encyclopedic page.

Merge with Yiddish, this should be... fairly obvious...Mosaicberry (talk) 23:32, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Yiddish words used in English and rename.
There exists news articles and books which are both about or make passing references to the variety. Yiddish words used in English references Yinglish numerous times and includes a complex, ordered list of words, some with etymologies, numerous references and a mention of a former ISO code. Both articles should be merged and named "Yinglish" if it isn't possible to give it an academically appropriate name. UaMaol (talk) 02:26, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with this suggestion. A quick scholar.google.com search suggests that the word Yinglish does have some scholarly currency, but this merge sounds sensible. Alarichall (talk) 00:39, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. As per above. Lapablo (talk) 22:31, 16 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
