:({{Find sources AFD|title=Somali Corpus}})

No secondary source given for notability. A WP:BEFORE on Google Scholar gives [https://aclanthology.org/2024.sigul-1.43.pdf this article] that uses the corpus and gives a description of it. Otherwise, I can only find [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s41870-020-00480-2 a passing mention] and [https://brill.com/view/journals/aall/16/1/article-p102_5.xml this article], which uses the corpus but doesn't go in-depth about it. It doesn't look like WP:GNG is met, although I am open to changing my mind if more sources come to light.

:This was a pretty rudimentary stub. Now, a number of sources have been added that discuss the importance of such corpora of under-resourced languages, and of Somali resources in particular. Links have been added to this page. The lead has also been cleaned up to clarify what a corpus is and where Somali is spoken. LingLass (talk) 17:00, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

::Hi! The issue wasn't about the lack of information or context in the lead, or about whether such corpora are important. To meet WP:GNG, sources should go in-depth about this specific corpus in particular, not about corpora in general. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 18:55, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

:::Maybe a better solution would be to move this to a page about Somali corpora in general, rather than focusing on this corpus in particular. I feel like there are now a number of other corpora for this language that together have some deeper coverage in the literature.LingLass (talk) 19:54, 19 October 2024 (UTC)

:::::LingLass and Chaotic Enby, if you believe this article should be Merged or Redirected, please state that and provide a target article. Otherwise, this discussion is likely to close as a Soft Deletion. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 07:22, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

::::::I would tend to agree with LingLass about changing the scope of this page to Somali corpora in general as an alternative to deletion, which would be most likely to meet WP:GNG. Chaotic Enby (talk · contribs) 12:44, 26 October 2024 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Hoping for a suitable Merge or Redirect target.

• Comment - would a redirect and selective merge to Somali literature work as an ATD? JMWt (talk) 13:40, 26 October 2024 (UTC)
• I would vote for the page to be moved to Somali Corpora. Because the set of corpora include sources from literature, newspapers, and, speech and web material. So Somali Literature is too narrow. And there are now a number of sources discussing and comparing recent corpora made from materials in this language. That would make the existing page just one of the components included.LingLass (talk) 04:37, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
