[edit] Chuukese language

Look at it. Gibberish, nothing. Enough said? Molotov (talk) 21:23, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep as the article had been rewritten quite well. Molotov (talk) 20:39, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

*Speedy, quite clearly. Average Earthman 21:28, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

• • Keep the completely rewritten version. Average Earthman 09:07, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy, but if there's anything faster, I'll go with that. Alf ^melmac 21:44, 7 September 2005 (UTC)Keep after excellent translation/re=write by Angr - good move there. Alf ^melmac 08:20, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Translate and cleanup or Redirect to Federated States of Micronesia. Chuuk is part of the Federated States of Micronesia and Chuukese, is, oddly enough, the language spoken there, spoken by about 45000 people, per http://www.ethnologue.com/14/show_language.asp?code=TRU See also . http://www.prel.org/products/pr_/lc-chuukese.asp among rather a lot of other googles. I've taken the speedy tag off. Tonywalton  | Talk 23:20, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

Speedy Keep following stonking re-write by Angr. Tonywalton  | Talk 14:40, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

• Keep article topic, list on Requested Articles, delete current content unless someone can translate it enough to be something better than starting from scratch. Good save, Tony! Barno 00:11, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Angr's rewrite left a legitimate stub, keepworthy. Barno 18:25, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Chuuk; Tonywalton is correct, but Chuuk is the specific island group in Micronesia where this language is spoken, and Wikipedia has a reasonable article about Chuuk already although it doesn't describe the language yet. Even if the current content is a legitimate description in Chuukese of the language, it's barely one sentence and I can't see much point in looking for a translator for such minimal content. --Metropolitan90 01:00, September 8, 2005 (UTC) Keep as rewritten by Angr. --Metropolitan90 07:13, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, as above; (redirect does not require AfD). Guettarda 02:10, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, do not redirect. Kappa 02:15, 8 September 2005 (UTC) keep Kappa 09:59, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as patent nonsense. While it would be good to have an article on this language, this article is worse than useless. Capitalistroadster 03:39, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Angr's rewrite. Well done to him for rewriting this article. Capitalistroadster 06:54, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy delete but list on requested articles. Topic is very encyclopedic, contents are useless rubbish. — JIP | Talk 04:01, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the rewritten article. — JIP | Talk 08:41, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Keep --ZappaZ 17:03, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep - amazing work, Angr! -- BD2412 ^talk 19:44, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

I have rewritten the article so it's a proper article on the language. Keep the re-written article please! --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 06:39, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
