Samples of Baltic: Old Prussian, Latvian, Lithuanian compared to Slavic: Polish Language
Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It is not a comparative dictionary, either. I don't think Wiktionary takes this sort of thing, so delete.

The results of the previous VfD were 1 keep, 4 delete, 4 merge. --Carnildo 04:38, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Transwiki then Delete. Content belongs on Wikisource, not Wikipedia.  The Literate Engineer 05:09, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * WP:POINT. You could have merged with Lords Prayer and keep the redirect (this article is linked from Baltic languages).  No need to VfD just because you didn't like the way the last one was closed. And that is what I vote for. --Tony Sidaway Talk
 * If I thought merging was appropriate, I would have merged. I have listed the article on VfD because I feel that deletion is the appropriate action.  If you feel that this is not the place for it, then please tell me which WP:CSD criterion applies to this article. --Carnildo 05:47, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Then you have abandoned your pretense of only wishing to reinterpret the original VfD results. Fine.  I do think you're being a dreadfully sore loser, however. --Tony Sidaway Talk  06:17, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * When did I say I was reinterpreting the original VfD results here? I feel that this article should be deleted, so I'm listing it on VfD. --Carnildo 06:23, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * No vote: I'd like to keep this just to encourage an article on Baltic/Slavic language comparison, which seems to be an actual topic of debate and research in linguistics. However, the current article does not contribute anything useful. (In fact there's nothing in English besides what's already in the title.) Peter Grey 05:48, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Comparison of Baltic and Slavic languages would be useful but this article isn't it; the title will never be searched on; the material in the article is original research, and research without any analysis or conclusion at that. Wikisource and delete. -EDM 05:56, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary.
 * Delete or Merge. While the page in itself is interesting, I frankly don't see the point of comparing three Baltic languages with Polish (why not Russian, Belarusian, etc. as well?). A page dedicated to a comparison of the Baltic languages, or a comparison of the Baltic and the Slavic languages, is something I'd support. But this page is not even a beginning. I wouldn't mind transferring the individual Paternoster translations to the corresponding language pages as text samples, though. --IJzeren Jan 12:07, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If someone wants to transwiki it somewhere, fine, but just so there's no confusion delete from wikipedia. -R. fiend 22:25, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
 * Wikisource & delete, or move & expand into an encyclopedic article. Just dumping translations on a page without any analysis or explanation of comparative linguistic methods is pointless.  --Theodore Kloba 15:31, August 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete comparative foreign dicdefs. JamesBurns 03:52, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
