[edit] Democratic Youth Federation of Iraq
From WP:PNT, been there since November 12. Discussion from that page follows: Jamie 23:57, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- Arabic. It only has one edit in its history (4 months ago). --Idont Havaname 04:58, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
- Suggestion is that this article is identical to WP:PNT#Iraqi_Democratic_Youth_Federation (see below under 01 Dec). Text is looking the same, and besides, both were posted on the same date 09 Sept 2005 and from the same IP. The organization is on the World Federation of Democratic Youth list.- Introvert talk 03:11, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Iraqi Democratic Youth Federation
is an exact duplicate, so its AfD page links here too. Both pages should share the same fate: Either delete both, or keep one and redirect the other. Iraqi Democratic Youth Federation is also from WP:PNT since December 1. Here are the comments....
- Probably Arabian, and I'd be surprised if it isn't about the same thing as Democratic Youth Federation of Iraq. Solver 14:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
This article seems identical to WP:PNT#Democratic Youth Federation of Iraq above, listed under 12 Nov. (so.. both with one stone :) - Introvert talk 03:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)- Democratic Youth Federation of Iraq has been AfD'ed. This one should get AfD'ed once it's two weeks old. Jamie
- Why would this be necessary? What would justify them, being identical, going through the AfD voting separately? This artilce is an exact copy of the other one, posted from the same IP and on the same date -- just under a different article title. Apparently, the anon author decided on a better title which would match exactly the title on the list of the Democratic Youth organizations, but could not move the first page he had created. The mere reason there are two entries here on this page is that they happened to get caught at different times... If one of them would have been fortunate to receive a translation, the other one would simply become a redirect page.
- I think that once you've AfD-ed the first one, you want to just go ahead and AfD the second one as well, and link the AfD entry from the second to the first. See for example how the "rotary club" twins are done: "rotary rj ilha do governador" and Rotary rj ilha do governador. Regards - Introvert talk 07:25, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Anyhow, delete unless these can get translated soon. Jamie 11:31, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment make Democratic Youth Federation of Iraq a redirect to Iraqi Democratic Youth Federation (the correct translation from Arabic). Secondly, there's no need to delete the article. Just change the contents. --Soman 15:49, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
- The article needs to be in English. Can you provide the translation please? If so then it may be kept, but as is, even with your helpful translation of the very definition and with the link to the page in arabic -- I still don't think it makes an article yet. - Introvert talk 09:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete both if not translated; hopefully, may be kept (with a redirect for the twin) if translation becomes possible - Introvert talk 09:31, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
