Should a discussion of the

Sami_people have lived in Scandanavia since well before Germanic settlement there. And of course Russia west of the Urals has been populated by various Uralic peoples since well before Slavic settlement... --Blackcats

Picts

Should

Picts be included? --Error 01:56, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply

I just came to ask the exact same question. — Trilobite (Talk) 19:56, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
imho, this article is inherently broken due to its title. It should redirect to

I agree with a redirect, as soon as all pertinent info is worked into
Old European Culture. In other words, most of the groups mentioned here need to be mentioned there. Decius

Title

I see my move to

it is a disambiguation page, becase "Pre-Indo-European" may refer to any of the topics linked to. See, the articles aren't called "Pre-Indo-European", but a link to

Going by the way wikipedia defines a disambiguation page this is not one. From

Disambiguation

This disambiguates three truly different issues:

  1. pre-Proto-Indo-European
    (linguistic)
  2. Indo-European substrate hypotheses (linguistic) -- currently no central article (
    Substrates in Indo-European languages
    ??) hence the sublist
  3. the archaeological connection to
    Kurganization
    )

all three topics may be casually referred to by "pre-Indo-European", depending on context. I don't see the problem, and hence don't understand why the page is marked for cleanup. --

I suggest you read

I suggest you avoid patronizing me. Disambiguation pages are solely intended to allow users to choose among several Wikipedia articles, usually when a user searches for an ambiguous term. This is exactly what this page is for. Try to understand a topic before you get all argumentative, or, more embarassingly, condescending. --

I've put the cleanup tag back on the page. Regardless of whether these various links should all appear on this page or not, the fact is that the page doesn't follow
Wikipedia:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages) at all. There's a format that disambig pages should follow, with an introductory line, with one blue link per entry, each on its own line, and so on. --Xyzzyplugh (talk) 08:48, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply
