Unsourced for a long time and of questionable notability. Deleted in 2017 with a WP:PROD by me; WP:REFUNDed recently with the single-word argument of "notable", but I disagree with this greatly per Talk:Long-short_(romanization). Suzukaze-c (talk) 02:29, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete : This is original work, unsourced too, about a subject supposedly notable. Well, even if it were so, Wikipedia is not a journal for essays. -The Gnome (talk) 14:21, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
delete. Long and short vowels is not particular to Wu dialects, it occurs in Yue, i.e. Cantonese and similarly long vowels are just doubled, as well as in many other languages. So it seems a stretch to say a Romanisation system would be based on it. The only place I’ve found anything links back to WP: to this old version of Wu Chinese. That too was unsourced though, and was removed in the next revision 11 years ago. Also seems it was referred to here: fr:Discussion:Shanghaïen – the 'Chicago' column.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 16:13, 16 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
