Les physiques du curling

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This article was written totally in French, even though the author can write and read English very well. The user's user page says that his account was created for a science project and, since this is the user's only creation, one may presumable infer that this article is the said science project. The article has problems because it's in a foreign language, it has no in-line citations, it contains possible original research, no other articles link to it. But, for me, the biggest problem is that a student has decided to take advantage of Wikipedia and to use us as webspace for his homework; which goes against WP:WEBSPACE. — Fly by Night  ( talk )  20:26, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment. Given that the article was created less than an hour before nomination, that there are sources (just not inline) and that the nominator took the admirable step of adding this to WP:PNT, I wonder if it's worth giving this a little more of a chance before talking deletion. To me, the homework thing doesn't even enter into the question as long as the article itself is good (which it could be, if it can get past the pesky language and citation issues).

 * The article itself should I think be moved to the french wikipedia and then any useful content should merge with the french curling article. I'm not sure how to propose an interwiki merge - if there is such a thing, if not propose to merge it with the curling article and leave the PNT tag. I'm not sure if there is much 'new' content there, but there might be a bit that could be saved EdwardLane (talk) 12:11, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
