Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Röns

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Article Röns listed on WP:VFD July 3 to July 9 2004, was speedily deleted. Discussion:

  • German-language article about an Austrian village. Same anon poster added it to the German-language wikipedia, where it is getting some good editing. I say we delete from here & just add to the list of requests for translation from German at Wikipedia:Translation into English (the normal process for asking for a translation from a foreign-language Wikipedia. Before putting this on Vfd, I left this suggestion for 24 hours at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English (the page to discuss the disposition of foreign-language content dumped into the English-language wikipedia) to give those active there a chance to object; no one did. -- Jmabel 17:05, Jul 1, 2004 (UTC)
"If the article is a mere copy of (all or part of) an article in a foreign-language Wikipedia, it can just get added to Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion: we want to discourage people who cut articles from one Wikipedia and paste to another without translating. If the intent is to ask for a translation, the correct place to do that is Wikipedia:Translation into English."
So maybe speedy delete? -- Jmabel 02:18, Jul 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete, then delete this discussion. I was about to delete, list for translation, and declare intention to delete discussion if no objections, but you're way ahead of me I see by the talk page. Delete after 24 hours is good MWOT IMO, carry on. Andrewa 00:12, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
