This is an unsourced essay, in Romanian. Was refused speedy delete. Translate at http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FRaca_shqiptare_neper_shekuj Dennis Brown (talk) 15:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * correction, that might be Albanian, I used autodetect. Regardless, an essay without sources.  Dennis Brown (talk) 15:27, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced essay. I agree with the latter comment that the article is in Albanian. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 15:28, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * delete - unsourced essay that is likely WP:POV and WP:OR. - UtherSRG (talk) 15:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Speedy was declined because the speedy criterion was incorrect. WP:CSD was used, but no article on this topic exists in the Albanian Wikipedia. The article was speedied merely for being in a foreign language, which is specifically exempted from the speedy deletion process. As I don't speak Albanian, I'll defer to others on the validity of deleting this article.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:31, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I just want to point that the article does reference to this WP article, although the content is much shorter. If speedy deletion doesn't apply then I think a minimal analysis of the subject and content needs to be provided by someone for others to !vote - frankieMR (talk) 16:50, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say that others actually need to translate it for themselves, or don't !vote. That article can be translated via  Dennis Brown (talk) 20:35, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * A link to a Google translation is in the This article needs translation box, and Google translation is enough to dismiss it. Andreas  (T) 20:49, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * The second link was to the OTHER article (for CSD). As nom, yeah, I knew the first one already existed ;)  Dennis Brown (talk) 21:32, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I had totally forgotten about Google translation. The content of both articles is certainly not the same, and as Andreas said it is clear we can dismiss this one, unless some miraculous cleanup is afoot - frankieMR (talk) 21:18, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, unsourced essay, the footnote is an internal reference to sq wikipedia. Andreas  (T) 20:46, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It appears that this article has previously been uploaded with a different title, Ismail oruqi, and then speedily deleted (A7). I found this by putting parts of the text into Google, but this might expire as there is no cached version. An administrator with restore priviledges shoudl test this. Andreas  (T) 20:46, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I checked, and the article Ismail oruqi was substantially the same as this article. However, that one was created under an incorrect title -- User:Ismail oruqi was the creator of both articles, and his naming the other one after himself was presumably an error. The current title, which translates as "Albanian race throughout the centuries", at least appears to reflect the content of the article. The problem with this article is that it is unsourced, not in English, and appears to be redundant to some existing articles such as Albanians, Origin of the Albanians, and History of Albania which are sourced and in English. Even if this article were translated, the lack of sourcing and redundancy would seem to point towards deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 21:38, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

 * Speedy Snow Delete. Looks like a cut and paste job.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 01:00, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. Google translation comes up with an essay on the Albanian race and its struggles throughout the centuries. Unsourced OR essay, probably with personal POV too. De728631 (talk) 09:39, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
