[edit] Zwolf

according to this page "Zwölf is German for twelve." which is true. its also all it says on the page. but the page is supposed to be about zwolf not zwölf. and zwölf's already in wiktionary. so this should go, right? BL kiss the lizard 05:53, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. You might want to check around for dreizehn, vierzehn, and funfzehn as well.. JHMM13 (T | C) 06:40, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - unless Zwölf has some cultural implications, it should probably be deleted. By the way, 4,180,000 on google check is pretty impressive. The only thing that I can think of is that it comes across as Z-Wolf, which may have some implications somehow (an imagined type of wolf? roleplaying?) I'll wait for more advice.

  • Delete per nom. Zordrac, google ignores a lot of diacritics when searching, and "twelve" gets 81 million google hits, so I'm not surprised at four million for the German equivalent. Bikeable 07:33, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

*Keep as it is included in the German encyclopaedia here [1]. Rename to Zwölf. If it is considered to be good enough for the German encyclopaedia, then its good enough for the English one. Can we translate the German version? Note also German Wiktionary version [2] is different to German Encyclopaedia version. 12 must be of particular importance in the German language for some reason.

  • Redirect to 12 (number). My mistake. No reason why we should have a German version in English when it seems to say the same thing in Zwolf de as it does in 12 (number) en. lol. Ah well. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 08:58, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Not many people are going to search for this, so not redirect. Lee S. Svoboda 18:09, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete This is English Wikipedia. No need for articles with foreign language titles about topics already covered adequately in English. howcheng {chat} 22:34, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Why would anyone search for the German word for twelve in the English Wikipedia? Also needs to be deleted unless we are going to have an article for every numeral in every language in the English Wikipedia. •DanMS 04:39, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Agree with Howcheng. Tom Foolery 21:05, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to [Zwölf]. If you search for a German word, you should get German results...  The Steve  01:37, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
