  • New enough, long enough, no copyvio per earwig, hook is good and interesting, QPQ not needed as no prior DYKs. Good faith assumed on offline sources. Two small points @Ле Лой::
    • Busse (1987) appears to be a PhD thesis - please could you provide details in the citation to confirm this and who was the supervisor
    • In your first edit you mentioned Elon Musk in the summary - what is the connection?
      • It's a popular joke in Russian segment of the internet; it showcases something unusual and/or bizarre. This type of marriage exchange is virtually unknown + it was rather difficult to wrap my head around the literature. Basically, it means "whoa" as in here. Le Loy 00:27, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

[edit]

I propose to merge Berdel into Sister exchange. Berdel is just a tradition of sister exchange in Kurdish culture and it doesn't need its own article SiliconProphet (talk) 05:43, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
