The result was no consensus. Ideally this discussion needs more participation but I can't really relist it because of the fourth paragraph of WP:RELIST. The debate has been unsatisfactory and this close is therefore with no prejudice against speedy renomination. NAC— S Marshall T/C 10:52, 21 April 2013 (UTC)'''

Ngưu Lang Chức Nữ

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This seems like a case of misinformation if I'm not mistaken.. The term "Ngưu Lang Chức Nữ" is a Vietnamese translation of the Chinese "Niulang Zhinu", meaning "The Cowherd and Weaver Girl". This is actually a Chinese folklore story. However, this article depicts a Chinese tale as a Vietnamese festival. When I look at the interwiki links, they are all about the Chinese tale.

 * Keep. According to the relevant articles themeselves, the Qixi Festival is based on a nameless Chinese tale about two lovers. The article in question seems to be a deviation of it. Also, clicking on the Google, scholar, and books links provides a large trove of sources. This article needs expansion, but it is notable. Dea db eef  (talk)  06:53, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * The links provide solely Vietnamese-language hits, which just highlight the fact that this is misinformation. There is no hits for Nguu Lang Chuc Nu (with or without diacritics) for English sources, supporting the fact that the hits are due to a native name for something foreign, namely the Chinese tale (which is not nameless by the way). There is no references for the existence of the article topic, namely a native Vietnamese festival (the article's scope) or a Vietnamese tale. I should note that the misinformation is highlighted by the scope as indicated by the lead sentence (stating that it's a festival) or the festival-stub template, which is placed by the article creator (the sole content contributor); this contradicts the article title, which is about a tale. Simply said, there's little that indicates something other than misinformation. --Cold Season (talk) 16:41, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Either move and rewrite so the Chinese origin is clear or redirect to Qixi Festival. _dk (talk) 01:51, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
