List of Celtic place names in Friuli-Venezia Giulia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Prodded, but prod removed without explanation or significant improvements. Reason for deletion:

A for 95% untranslated article made by an indef blocked user (blocks for copyvio and socking), since protected because of the socking. Better to just get rid of it and start afresh if and when wanted. Fram (talk) 20:45, 1 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete. This is a collection of geographical dicdefs.  I would propose transwikiing them over to Wiktionary, but they look like copyright violations to me.  I note that the creating editor, who is also the primary contributor, is not just indefinitely blocked, he's indefinitely blocked for repeated copyright violations.


 * My reasoning is the same for this article, List of Celtic place names in Friuli-Venezia Giulia; the article List of Celtic Urban Toponymy in Italy, also up for AfD; and probably List of Celtic place names in Italy, although the latter is not up for deletion (yet). All of these look like they've been copied from somewhere without attribution. TJRC (talk) 23:40, 1 December 2015 (UTC)
 * TJRC asked me if I thought his reasoning here was sound. I do - I can't find a source for the content, but this user has a history of copy-pasting and translating without attribution. When I handled his original account, I thought this was simply a case of a user who for some inexplicable reason refused to follow the mandatory processes of WP:CWW, but while addressing his sock puppetry I realized that he was also translating directly from copyrighted Italian sources. It's not just the copyright of Wikimedians he was violating. I do not believe he composed this material, either. I think it's fair to speculate that in this case the source was Italian. It was not the Italian Wikipedia, but this text dump seems very likely to have been taken directly from his source and designed for later translation. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:20, 2 December 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete the large number of incomplete citations in the text, that would appear to refer to an external listing (e.g. (P.-Y. Lambert) which probably refers to Lambert, Pierre-Yves, who wrote "La Langue Gauloise" Paris, Errance (1994), and other works on the Celts.), indicate "copying and pasting" as does the evidence enumerated above. The source is clearly Italian as the text changes to that language at the letter "N". I would delete as a WP:copyviol. --Bejnar (talk) 21:47, 13 December 2015 (UTC)
