San José Department
From Pages needing translation into English:
 * Spanish. A department of Uruguay. Looks like a possible copyvio to me, although Google doesn't find it. Could be scanned from a book, especially because it uses abbreviations. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:47, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
 * The abbreviations are the spanish version of cardinal points (NO is Northwest NW) Drini 04:55, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * It's had its 2 weeks, and no one has started a translation. Valid topic, less than great name, but I gather that people agreed with me that it looked like a likely copyvio and consequently no one wanted to put the effort into translation. Oh, and there are other abbreviations, like "depto." for "departamiento". Delete. -- Jmabel | Talk 04:18, Mar 30, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 07:09, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, for all I know this article is encyclopedic and written in stunning prose, but since mi comprende no Espanol, I have no idea. Since no one is willing to translate, though, it is probably of limited interest. -Casito 09:21, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If the contributer returns and puts up an English language version it might be interesting, but that doesn't seem likely at the mement. &mdash; Asbestos | Talk  10:10, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain. Do we currently have an ongoing Uruguay project? Do we have articles on the other departments of Uruguay? This does appear to be almost certainly copyvio. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy)  12:32, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
