[edit] Slawi

Transwikify to the appropriate non-English Wiki and delete. Denni☯ 02:35, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

• The proper process is to add Template:notenglish, and then wait two weeks before listing it for deletion if it isn't translated. As this article was just posted, this VfD is premature. Postdlf 03:13, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not encyclopedic. JamesBurns 06:37, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, premature nomination. Kappa 10:16, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy keep, give it its two weeks. --Scimitar 13:28, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: There is no such thing as "speedy keep" because keepiing is the default. Improper listing requires no votes at all. The nominator should unlist it on VfD, but even if he or she doesn't, it's rather meaningless unless folks don't read the votes and vote delete anyway. Jumping in to vote "strong keep" and "speedy keep" just looks like finger wagging, which is not very nice. Geogre 18:52, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the clarification. I've seen speedy keep in use, and my intention was certainly not to finger wag, just to get it off VfD asap, to save space. I was under the impression that an article could be speedy kept and the discussion frozen. --Scimitar 19:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • On the contrary, WP:GVFD describes speedy keep as: "a (rarely used) shorthand for 'Keep this article and close the discussion now'. A voter who votes 'Speedy Keep' thinks that the nomination was an improper one that was made purely as vandalism." I don't think that Kappa and Scimitar believed Denni's nomination was in bad faith, so speedy keep doesn't apply here, but it does apply in other cases. Perhaps this shorthand could use some further clarification in WP:GVFD? AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 23:26, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
• My nomination, and I'm retracting it. I'll keep the template in mind for next time (I'm still new at this part of Wiki). Denni☯ 00:24, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)
