Violation of WP:NOT. This is a story (maybe fictional) in another language. The last sentence is promotional for a TV show Ebe  123  → report 10:25, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete as it's in another language Seasider91 (talk) 11:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That it's in another language is not A2, but if there is an article in that language on the appropriate wiki. The article has no equivalent, so A2 is not applicable.   Ebe  123  → report 11:21, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Not remotely suitable as an encyclopaedia article. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:43, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 *  Speedy Delete Something in the English Wikipedia should at least use Latin characters in the title complainer (talk) 12:12, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, but it's not one of the criteria covered by the policy on speedy deletion. Besides, that would be easily dealt with by just renaming the article, so it could not reasonably be taken as grounds for deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:11, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * I bow to the logic and change it to simply "delete" but I stand firm on this point: people can't start putting foreign entries on the English wikipedia and then demand that only people proficient in their language decide on their merit. If this is a worthy article in Hindi, there's hi.wikipedia.org but, in the current form and with the current title, it doesn't belong here. complainer (talk) 13:18, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, my own view is that not being in English should be a speedy deletion criterion. The amount of time and effort it sometimes takes to try to figure out what a foreign language pag is about and whether it should be translated or deleted is often considerable, and in my experience such articles usually finish up being deleted anyway. Also, sometimes the foreign language hides attack pages or other material which should be speedily deleted, and putting it in a foreign language so we can't tell is unconstructive. It's simple: if you want to post something on English Wikipedia then write it in English, or at the very least get it translated before posting it. If it's not in English then it doesn't belong on English WP. However, simply having a foreign language title is a different matter. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Move to Hindi Wikipedia. -- Ritchie333  (talk)  14:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * Although the first to mention the possibility, I have to say that, thanks to the wonders of google translate, I now think, again, that this article should be speedily deleted: it is just some kind of old half anecdote half fairy tale. complainer (talk) 14:49, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
 * There are two problems with "Move to Hindi Wikipedia": (1) it's not a useful article, and probably doesn't belong on any Wikipedia, (2) whether an article is acceptable on Hindi WP is for the editors of Hindi WP to decide, not us. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:10, 31 July 2012 (UTC)
