There has been a discussion on the article talk page about deleting this article, and it needs to be held here. I have moved the discussion here. Toddy1 (talk) 08:03, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
The meaning of this word in Russian -means like Karaim . While Karaim/Karaite is spelled with "K" the same speling of Karaimit may be better used here. But why we need to invent new English word ? The google search shows that there is no such word in English. The more common name of this Sect is Subbotniks.But it may create some disambig because this name used for all three sects of Ethnic Russians considering Old Testament.So this article need to be renamed or changed (due it small size) to sub-article of Subbotniks were all 3 sects need to be mentioned Неполканов (talk) 20:22, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- Please could you make a proposal at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. That way, there can be a proper and fair discussion.
- My preference would be to merge it into the article on the Subbotniks. We need to use words to describe these people that are used in reliable English-language sources.-- Toddy1 (talk) 21:01, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
- I also support the deletion of this article and the moving of any RS information that is relevant to the English WP to the Subbotniks article. warshy 22:38, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
