Traktor
A text in Norwegian about tractors. It's probably intended as a joke. I'm listing it here because I think it's technically not speedy deletion material (doesn't meet patent nonsense criteria). Anyway, it's certainly not encyclopedia material. -- Sietse 16:27, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Translate it and then decide. I'd go with delete for now. --Idont Havaname 16:50, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not worth translating but I'll give you a half-sentence teaser: "A tractor may be useful if one is a lazy, fat farmer who doesn't care to walk about..." / up+land 17:32, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems to me the easy way to get rid of these things without wasting everyone else's time is to mark it and most likely nobody will bother translating it, leading to its automatic extinction. And certainly that process has fewer steps than vfd! However, at this point, delete. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 17:38, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * I agree that automatic extinction would be nice in this case, but to quote Pages needing translation: if an article has been listed here for two weeks and is still untranslated, it should be moved to VfD. So, it will still end up here "wasting everyone else's time" if we put a nonenglish-tag on it. -- Sietse 19:53, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Definitely a hoax. My Norwegian isn't perfect but I think I know what "mafia-bossen" might mean. Delete. Dbiv 18:05, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep as redirect to tractor, as it's not that unlikely a misspelling. (In fact, in view of the partial translation by Uppland, I don't think the original article had any new information on the subject, and I've already changed it into a redirect.) Eugene van der Pijll 18:17, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete though it sounds like it might be funny if translated. Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd 18:57, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Tractor, nothing here worth merging. Megan1967 02:11, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and then create a redirect to tractor, to avoid future confusions. Andris 23:23, Jan 27, 2005 (UTC)
