[edit] Democracia

Been 2 weeks on WP:PNT, in Portuguese. Duplicate of Democracy and others.

BEGIN text copyed from WP:PNT

Portuguese, I think. Was marked {{db|non-english article}}, but that's not a speedy criterion. --Cryptic (talk) 08:31, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• It's a very elaborate definition of democracy, and, as far as I can tell, redundant; let's leave it for a bit for somenone with better language skills to see if there's something to salvage Lectonar 09:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Portuguese. A good enough work on democracy (I think, this is not my expertise) even if it repeats itself (more than one section on Greek democracy, John Locke, and primary elections). Apparently its whole content is already included in WP, at Democracy, History of democracy, Athenian democracy, John Locke, Triennial Acts, Septennial Act 1715, and maybe others. I noticed only a few differences and possibly new info, including:
  • [at Democracia ↔ current WP article(s)]

1. Athens population: 400,000; citizen:1,000 ↔ 300,000 and "a relatively large portion " in Athenian democracy, or "excluded over half" in History of democracy, or "16%" (50,000) in Democracy.
2. Septennial Act of 1716 (claims Columbia Enciclopedia Online (?) as source) ↔ Septennial Act 1715.
3. First primary (local) election in 1842, at Crawford, Pa. ↔ I found none.
4. First primary (state) election in 1903, Wisconsin. ↔ I found none.

• • After checking this info, and waiting a little more for someone better than myself to see if there is some more, I guess it can be deleted as a duplicate article.--Nabla 14:08, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)

• Delete or if possible speedy delete (isn't not being in English a criterion for speedy deletion?) --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 1 July 2005 22:16 (UTC)

No, but if this is copypasted from another Wikipedia it may be speedied.--Jyril July 2, 2005 18:55 (UTC)

• Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 2 July 2005 04:06 (UTC)
• Delete as redundant, translate & merge any salvageable parts.--Jyril July 2, 2005 18:55 (UTC)
• I can't see that it's worth the effort of translating and seeing if there are a few facts not covered elsewhere, but if someone wants to, speak now or forever hold your peace. Maybe transwiki to Portuguese Wikipedia? -- Jmabel | Talk July 6, 2005 04:26 (UTC)
  • Wouldn't hurt... but I took a look and apparently this won't help that much. pt:Democracia. - Nabla 2005-07-08 18:27:52 (UTC)
• Delete as it is Lectonar 6 July 2005 08:26 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete -Mariano July 8, 2005 09:56 (UTC)
