Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Mexican English
I was all set to say "delete" - thinking "come on, are we going to have articles about the dialect in every state in the country?" Well, it turns out we pretty much do; see :Category:American English. I checked a couple of articles in that category and found they have no better references than this article. Yes, I know, . I also did a search at Google Scholar and found the term "New Mexican Engilsh" used in a book and a scholarly articlehttps://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22New+Mexican+English%22&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C5&as_sdtp= so local and regional dialects like this do appear to be a real subject of scholarly study, which has inspired many articles at Wikipedia. The article could use some work ("coyote" as a distinctively New Mexican word? Come on!) but that's not a reason to delete it
