Cairo Opera Company

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article in Arabic has been listed on Pages needing translation into English since November 3 and no progress has been made on getting it translated into English. Yupik (talk) 22:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * The lack of translation is perhaps unsurprising in view of the lack of a suitable tag. Verdi's Aida was first performed in Cairo, so that my guess is that there is notable content, but I do not know what it says, so that I fear that it must be up for delete unless it is translated soon.

 * The article had been properly tagged before I put it up for AfD. WP:PNT has quite a few Arabic articles on any given day awaiting translation, but no one seems to have the time to do them (and I don't know enough Arabic to make a difference). Perhaps any of you who understand Arabic could have a look at the articles we have left? Some of them have been hanging around for a long time already. -Yupik (talk) 13:46, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment is there a noticeboard over at the Arabic Wikipedia where someone might have a look at this article? Bizzarely, it may be a candidate for Transwiki, if it's not already in the arabic wiki (Which I'm unable to determine). ZZ Claims~ Evidence 04:38, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I left a message at the Arabic Wikipedia seeking help in translating the text. ZZ Claims~ Evidence 04:54, 20 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, without prejudice to re-creation if someone wants to write an English-language article about this opera company. Note that this particular opera company apparently started in the 1960s, so they would not have produced the Aida premiere. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:56, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete, He talks about his visiting to an Opera party, then he asks the director of this party three questions, For sure, Wikipedia isn't for these questions!--OsamaK (talk) 10:30, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete now that it has been translated. -Yupik (talk) 21:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
