- The basis of your nomination is that the variety isn't real, but there is an article, and you haven't nominated it for deletion. So the nomination of this template and the existence of the article are antithetical. The people who support deletion are using wholly different rationales that the one presented in the nomination. Reasoning from that presented in the nomination would suggest that deleting the article is a necessary action. --

- No, what I said is that it's not a _native_ variety, i.e. that it's not spoken natively. What would it mean for an article to be written in a non-native variety of English? 'Brunei English' would point to it being a variety (an emerging one, at least), but it can also simply mean, English as it's spoken in Brunei. There's no 'antithesis' here.

- Delete. Experts differ on whether Brunei English is a distinct variety. To the extent that it is, differences appear to be mainly in pronunciation and vocabulary, areas that would not be particularly salient in a (written) encyclopedia. Cnilep ( talk) 11:44, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Userfy - Even if we consider Brunei English to be a legitimate ENGVAR, creating this template was premature. We currently don't have any articles that are written in Brunei English to apply it to.

- Delete. I can find only a handful of experts who discuss Malaysian English as a unique dialect, and then mostly in terms of phonological distinctiveness. According to Malaysian English, the written form was identical to British English prior to an influx of Americanisms in the late twentieth century. Obviously all areas have distinctiveness that is worthy of respect, but in terms of a written encyclopedia this would not seem to need marking. Cnilep ( talk) 11:57, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

New creation, currently unused; Template:Infobox Site of Special Scientific Interest should work for Wales as well. eh bien mon prince ( talk) 19:31, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
- Yes new creation, adapted from en. Currently used on 4 articles, but will be placed on over 950 shortly. En works for Wales? No it doesn't; as you can see it has enref only. I've amended this to read cyref (cy = Wales in this case), as the authority in Wales is certainly NOT Natural England! I did originally request that the
Template:Infobox SSSI (Template talk:Infobox Site of Special Scientific Interest#Suitable only for England) be adapted to include the other nations of Britain, Wales included, but as you can see no one responded. Other additions need to be done including name of county. The present articles which have been churned out on english language wiki (eg
Ceunant Cynfal National Nature Reserve would have been deleted a long time ago on cywp; I intend to produce better articles, which means I need a relevant, better Infobox.

- Comment - you asked for modification on Christmas Eve, and are surprised no-one has responded over the holiday period. Having had a look at the code, it seems it would be trivial to adapt for the other home nations, eg by adding the "cy" code you've used in this new template to the original one.

- The basis of your nomination is that the variety isn't real, but there is an article, and you haven't nominated it for deletion. So the nomination of this template and the existence of the article are antithetical. The people who support deletion are using wholly different rationales that the one presented in the nomination. Reasoning from that presented in the nomination would suggest that deleting the article is a necessary action. --

- No, what I said is that it's not a _native_ variety, i.e. that it's not spoken natively. What would it mean for an article to be written in a non-native variety of English? 'Brunei English' would point to it being a variety (an emerging one, at least), but it can also simply mean, English as it's spoken in Brunei. There's no 'antithesis' here. Happy new year. — Lfdder ( talk) 12:04, 1 January 2014 (UTC)

- Delete – this is not a variety of English that en.wikipedia.org needs to include; it's too rare to be used in a worldwide encyclopedia, unlike the major English variants. Dicklyon ( talk) 06:38, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Delete. Experts differ on whether Brunei English is a distinct variety. To the extent that it is, differences appear to be mainly in pronunciation and vocabulary, areas that would not be particularly salient in a (written) encyclopedia. Cnilep ( talk) 11:44, 31 December 2013 (UTC)
- Userfy - Even if we consider Brunei English to be a legitimate ENGVAR, creating this template was premature. We currently don't have any articles that are written in Brunei English to apply it to.

- Delete. I can find only a handful of experts who discuss Malaysian English as a unique dialect, and then mostly in terms of phonological distinctiveness. According to Malaysian English, the written form was identical to British English prior to an influx of Americanisms in the late twentieth century. Obviously all areas have distinctiveness that is worthy of respect, but in terms of a written encyclopedia this would not seem to need marking. Cnilep ( talk) 11:57, 31 December 2013 (UTC)

The template is redundant to a better-designed template. The better designed template is at template:Venn.
