Loriga

 * Delete. Uncategorized for a while now, and completely incomprehensible. --SonicChao 03:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The article isn't the same as when I voted for it, keeping the current stub version is fine. --SonicChao 12:13, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete What the...? Bad article, and may be a copyvio, though I don't know which came first. EVula 04:33, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep and Rewrite per Marriedtofilm. Thanks for providing that link; I hadn't seen it before. EVula 14:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete Looks like a copywright violation, may possibly be non-notable. The (very, very odd) article thingy attached (which is what appears to be the cw violation) seems to be a REALLY bad translation from a foreign language, presumably Portuguese.  Essentially incomprehensible, in fact.  Unless that mess is removed and viable sources are found and the article is wikified, it's garbage.
 * Keep, but Rewrite per Marriedtofilm. If it is a real town it deserves an article, but what is currently there needs to be totally removed and rewritten; anyone care to do so and put in a bit of basic info?   --The Way 05:47, 25 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong Keep I agree that it's currently an awful article. But two very important things - 1. It's a real town in Portugal  with over 1,000 people and per WP:AFDP, "Cities and villages are notable, regardless of size." Just by their existence towns are inherently notable.  2. Portuguese Wikipedia has an extensive article on Loriga . Perhaps some translation is needed for us English speakers. As for its current state, now I'd erase all contents, write a stub and let it grow - but definitely worth an article.  --Marriedtofilm 05:58, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep Mtf is quite right: cities and towns merit inclusion. Eusebeus 13:43, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I read it and thought of English As She Is Spoke. But a town is a town. It could be added to a list of articles needing improvement. Edison
 * Keep. A real town, ergo notable. -- Necrothesp 01:17, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment I recreated the stub from scratch. The oddly translated version is in the article's history for future reference. This new version is no masterpiece, but at least it's readable! --Marriedtofilm 01:59, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Fantastic job! I've done a few minor tweaks (and removed Uncategorized), but aside from that, you and you alone made this a worthwhile article. Good job! EVula 03:33, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Someone has already done some further tweaking that I don't really agree with.  But as the purpose was to make the article simply legible and have no reason for an AfD, I won't be going to revert battle. --Marriedtofilm 15:41, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Someone came along and formatted it a bit better, but I opted to just remove it entirely; its already stated (in my opinion, much better) elsewhere in the article. EVula 17:30, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
