 * Is it really necessary to have the "word" prison translated into German on an English Wikipedia? I think we generally do not translate foreign words into English on Wikipeida. For example there is no Turkish translation of apple or German translation of hospital or Chinese translation of bird. Few would search Gefangnis for prison on an English Wikipedia.
 * Delete. I agree with the above summation of the situation. There is no purpose in creating an article simply rephrasing an English word into another language on the English Wikipedia unless the subject itself holds enough importance that calls for it (i.e. political parties, locations, brand names, etc). Wikipedia, as stated in WP:NOT and WP:NAD, is not a dictionary, and as such, I agree that this article, which does not provide any meaningful encyclopedic content, should be deleted. It is also possible that this article meets the criteria for speedy deletion under WP:A2. HapHaxion (talk) 01:27, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
