Reason why the page should be deleted

moved from Pages needing translation into English the following discussion came to the conclusion that it should be deleted, because its a word-by-word translation of the existing article on en.wiki: --Fenice 07:04, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

This has been in the category for a month but doesn't seem to have been listed here. Arabic? Farsi? Urdu? I don't know. It doesn't seem to be a copyvio. --Diderot 19:06, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * This site identifies it as arabic.--Fenice 19:43, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * It's an article on Gabriel Garcia Marquez, and we already have one. Delete? Solver 20:55, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
 * There's a lot to be said about Garcia Marquez however. Could you actually read the contents? I can't read arabic, but I'm guessing its about Memoria de mis putas tristes, his new book. Our article sofar only states that the new book is due in october (2004!) - so we might actually really need the info in this text. I will drop a note on the talk-page of someone who speaks arabic to see what it actually says. And maybe we should also inform the arabic embassy to pick it up?--Fenice 06:18, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I left a note on Svests talk page.--Fenice 06:34, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note Fenice. I had a look at it. You and Solver are right; it's about Gabriel Garcia Marquez in Arabic. The English version is more complete as it includes biography and links. Indeed, it's a word by word translaion. I suggest to remove it from the list. Cheers from Svest 06:47, May 6, 2005 (UTC) Wiki me up
 * I have just checked if the article already exists in ar.wikipedia. It doesn't. It will be good if we can transfer it to the arabic Wiki. Svest 07:19, May 6, 2005 (UTC)

comment - you might note also that the title is full of non browser-safe characters. It's already started playing playing havoc on the VFD page... Grutness|hello? 07:20, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * The article is ransfered to ar.wiki. Svest 08:12, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Could this be a case for speedy deletion?--Fenice 08:28, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
 * If it's there, then yes, it should be a speedy now. &mdash;Korath (Talk) 02:14, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
