Foreign language pages
Hi. Thanks for patrolling new pages. With Svedjebrukteorien just now, the author agreed with deletion and said he would post it on Norwegian Wikipedia (and in fact I see he has already done so at no:Svedjebrukteorien), so I deleted ours as WP:CSD author requests deletion. In principle, though, being in a foreign language is not a reason for speedy deletion. What you should do is explained at WP:NPP - put a notenglish template at the top, with the language if you know it, e.g., and list it at WP:Pages needing translation, where someone who knows the language may pick it up and translate it, or nominate it for deletion if they can see it is unsuitable. There is a useful set of warning templates, many bilingual, at WP:PNT/T which can be used to point foreign-language contributors to their home WPs. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:17, 11 August 2013 (UTC)
