Grote-Trek
I'm sorry Swedish Chef, but there's already an article on this; it's South Africa's Great Trek. Eixo 07:38, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Well that would make this a redirect then (rather than the current few words not in English). Average Earthman 09:20, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: I don't know about a redirect, as only .se users would need it (or is this Swedish?).  I can't see this being a popular misspelling in en. Geogre 11:32, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * I thought 'grote' was a Dutch word as well - sticking 'grote' in Google produces a lot of .nl websites. Not being able to speak Dutch, I wouldn't know if this means something completely different to 'Great' of course... Average Earthman 16:00, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * ... or indeed whether Afrikaans would use a different spelling. Average Earthman 16:01, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, "Groot" (and derivations "grote" etc) simply means "big". "Trek", interestingly enough, means either "pull" or "hunger", making this a rather silly bilingual contamination. Delete. Radiant_* 08:50, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
 * Are English speakers likely to run across this name in advertising or newspaper articles? I lack this information, so if so, then redirect, otherwise delete.  Barno 23:35, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
 * How about speedy delete? No context, no content.  Quale 07:28, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
