[edit] اب سیاه

Been at WP:PNT for over 2 weeks, listing here since it hasn't been translated. Discussion from there:

Found loose in Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation. Don't know which language. Kusma (討論) 01:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Just a wild guess... It's using the arabic alphabet, so I'll guess... arabic? It could also be Farsi, I think, but it's probably arabic. There's also the english word Glaucoma in it, which doesn't have an equivalent article in arabic wiki; my hypothesis is that this is an article meant for the arabic wiki, and we should move it.

It's definitely not Arabic - it uses a number of letters found only further east; but I'm not sure which language it is. ColinFine 00:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
It is Farsi and it means Glaucoma. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.99.234.199 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete since no one even knows what language it is. - Bobet 00:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as this is English Wikipedia. --Ezeu 00:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong delete. I don't understand Arabic and I don't see how this is useful for an English Wikipedia. Georgia guy 00:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete if nobody is going to translate it. Royboycrashfan 00:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, unless someone translates it (even then it would probably need merging with Glaucoma, if it had anything useful). -- Mithent 01:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete Je ne parle pas Arabic, et je ne veux pas parler Arabic, et je ne veux pas pouvoir comprendre Arabic. (A vrai dire, c'est le wiki d'anglais - donc, pourquoi parle-je francais?) --M@thwiz2020 01:05, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
La langue est "arabe" en francaise, merci beaucoup. Daniel Case 04:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • del a sole contribution by a colourful name user:Ardy dude . mikka (t) 01:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete seeing as this in en.Wiki -- Krash (Talk) 02:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. You can't translate the untranslatable. --Aaron 03:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wrong wiki --† Ðy§ep§ion † 04:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete for lack of a good reason to keep here. Hard to tell if it's Arabic or not ... there is one letter not used in Arabic, but only that one, and there are some recognizable Arabic words in there and the morphology generally follows Arabic patterns. Daniel Case 04:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'll take people's word that it's Arabic, to me it looks like Gibberish. Note that this is the author's only contribution, and it's almost a month old. JIP | Talk 06:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. My guess is it's Persian rather than Arabic, and I'd have said "transwiki" to fa.wikipedia, if it wasn't also a likely copyvio from here: [1]. Lukas (T.|@) 08:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I have to ask you if you can actually read Arabic script or just spotted the word "Glaucoma" in Latin script. JIP | Talk 08:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
I can read the script (with a bit of effort) but don't understand the language. As for finding that source page, Google is your friend. Lukas (T.|@) 08:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wrong site.--Jusjih 09:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per everything above. Essexmutant 10:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete since it's a likely copyvio and we can barely even tell which language it is, let alone translate it... Grandmasterka 10:55, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, wrong place to write an article here. This is English Wikipedia not a Persian or Arabic Wikipedia. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 11:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, wrong language, if no one translated it in 2 weeks it should go. Elfguy 13:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Note It was speedied. εγκυκλοπαίδεια* 20:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
