Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chioccioli

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was delete after merging all contents in Claudio Chiappucci. Merging histories would leave a mess because the edit histories overlap. Personal remark: I would have thought we had a better article on Chiappucci. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 22:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Chioccioli

• Looks like a machine translation of some Italian text about a cyclist named Franco Chioccioli. It's not from Italian Wikipedia, which doesn't have an article on him, so I don't know where the original came from. The machine translation is virtually useless; unless someone wants to write a real article, the page should be deleted. --Trovatore 22:58, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
• Sppedy Delete Definate G1 - its nonsensical in its current form. Possible A7 as well, i cant tell because it's impossible to read. --CastAStone 23:20, 6 October 2005 (UTC)
  • So I took a shot at rendering as much as I could. I had to guess in some spots, and there was some stuff I just had no idea about. (I do speak Italian; it would have been easier to translate the actual original.) It's still unsourced and as far as I know unverified, so unless someone can pick up where I left off, I still say 'delete. But it's getting closer. --Trovatore 02:08, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
  • I found the original; it's at [1]. I think my translation is pretty accurate, though I couldn't think of a word that renders vezzosamente, so I just left it out (it was more or less a swipe at the French anyway). The language problem is fixed now, but there's still a the problem of sourcing/verifying the material. Also I don't know why the article is called "Chioccioli" when it's about Chiappucci, but that's a lesser problem (can easily be moved). --Trovatore 02:35, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Keep now, I think. It does need to be sourced, but so do lots of pages that we aren't deleting. --Trovatore 02:56, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Claudio Chiappucci, including history, then delete the redirect. Why should Chioccioli redirect to Chiappucci? --Trovatore 03:58, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
• Trovatore has done a great job. Agree with his suggestion above. Dottore So 07:21, 7 October 2005 (UTC)
