East on the west and west on the east

I entirely fail to see how an 'unofficial motto' can be notable. I'd be open to a sensible redirect proposal. TheLongTone (talk) 13:37, 5 July 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge with and redirect to the article on Serbia. The article's title is rather long, making it a heavy title for a stand-alone article. Vorbee (talk) 14:23, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * delete This gets no GHits and and no GBook hits outside of WP itself, so at present it gives every sign of being something someone made up one day. If someone can find some other translation which does see notice, we might have something; but I cannot see having an article whose title is a phrase that nobody actually uses. I note that the article doesn't give the phrase in its ostensible native tongue, so I don't have anything to search for in that wise. Mangoe (talk) 16:37, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete – Only references to the “Motto” are mirror sites of Wikipedia, as shown here . ShoesssS Talk 19:02, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * That result should come as no surprise: when dealing with a "foreign" subject from an anglophone POV, search for sources in the other language(s). When that isn't common sense, carefully follow WP:BEFORE that says in B6:    "Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles. Likewise, search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lede."    I have provided an alt. search term below.

 * I am uncomfortable at best with WP being the sole translator of a word/phrase. Mangoe (talk) 21:20, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
