I can understand how you might not give a rat's either way about Ceqli relative to other conlangs (-- which is not really relevant) but if you don't give a rat's either way about Ceqli relative to other no less obscure things that might warrant an encyclopaedia article, then how come you are on Conlang list? Even if the only objection to the article was that it had been written by Rex himself, would not the more fraternal action have been to ask Rex to get one of his Ceqli colleagues to rewrite/resubmit it, rather than placing it on a page proposing the deletion of articles of more or less indubitable shite? --And.
