Traditional female costume in Surkhandarya

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article appears to be entirely original research, with no sources available upon which to build a valid article. Since Surkhandrya is a relatively small region of Uzbekistan, it is not clear that an article covering the traditional female dress of the women in this region is of sufficient global interest to be encyclopedic. An article on clothing in Uzbekistan, or even a section on this topic in Culture of Uzbekistan would be a better, more general starting point. The fact that this article is written in a largely unintelligible English (I suspect a WP:MACHINETRANSLATION) does not help its cause: even if we chose to keep an article on this limited topic, we could not salvage the present text but would need to start over from scratch (i.e. WP:TNT applies).

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment - I hate to say "delete" as this is an encyclopaedic topic, even if it is best covered in a general Uzbek national costume article, but I agree that it looks like a machine translation or original research, and WP:DYNAMITE seems the only way to handle.

 * Userfy - while the article may indeed be topic-worthy, there's not enough sources or details to support WP:GNG. I'd hate to blow it up unless absolutely necessary, my 2cents. - SanAnMan (talk) 21:16, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete and Userfy as none of this actually suggests a Wikipedia article. SwisterTwister   talk  05:55, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete & merge - I can't see how this is notable enough for its own article, but may do well if the key components were placed on an article related to Uzbek culture. DaltonCastle (talk) 22:37, 14 April 2016 (UTC)
