message: I have updated the page as discussed. Atlantic is now defined as a proper subgroup , but with narrower scope per Pozdniakov & Segerer and Güldemann. I think we still need to clean up some related pages, and also the template Template:Atlantic languages. I am undecided about what to do with Senegambian languages. It is actually identical to Pozdniakov & Segerer's Atlantic, but hardly anyone calls this "Senegambian". I'd suggest to merge Senegambian languages here. Input from other editors welcome (pinging @, @). –Austronesier (talk) 12:28, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

text: It wasn't me. I think the term "Atlantic languages" has been reclaimed in a meaningful way by Segerer, Lübke, Güldemann and others. –Austronesier (talk) 10:11, 22 December 2021 (UTC)

text: does not seem like a very good reason (at Wikipedia). As far as I can tell, linguists don't avoid the term "Atlantic languages". Srnec (talk) 04:30, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If that has now become the standard (the nomenclature was in flux when I created several of these articles), then yes, we should follow. Is it though? We do need to consider that some sources use the phrase "Atlantic languages" to mean languages of the Atlantic, analogous to "Pacific languages". — kwami (talk) 04:38, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
