VATBRZ
From WP:PNT since December 1st. Discussion from WP:PNT follows Jamie 01:05, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Portugese. Something about flight simulation or pilot training, or air traffic controller training. Solver 14:12, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks like an advertisement. It is not worth keeping it. Carioca 05:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I can defend myself in Portuguese....an online virtual pilot simulation? I would delete...--Orgullomoore 07:04, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
 * This is about the Brazilian branch of the Virtual Air Traffic Flight Simulation Network. Not worth keeping as a separate article, should be redirected, possibly merged. JoaoRicardo 07:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


 * This article is about the Brazilian version of Virtual Air Traffic Flight Simulation Network. Other than the fact that it is in Portuguese, it has similar content to the VATSIM article. It states that it is the Brazilian version of VATSIM, and then gives a small description of VATSIM. It isn't worth keeping as a separate article, but it could be useful as a redirect page.&#160;—  The KMan  talk  07:03, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect per Movementarian. - Mgm|(talk) 11:34, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't Anglophone users (who would thus be at .en) use "VATSIM" as the acronymn they type in, rather than "VATBRZ?"  Further, isn't the BRZ in "VATBRZ" an indication of "Brazil?"  I.e. isn't this going to be an entirely unused redirect?  I don't see the point in it, myself. Redirects are cheap, but they're not free.  Geogre 18:58, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. Non-native speakers of English frequently use en Wikipedia.  They may look for articles using thier native acronymn and upon not finding it, recreate the article.  Redirects keep such things from happening.  Movementarian 03:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm aware that non-native speakers use the project, and I'm not saying "English-only," but I think we're looking at too fine a subset of a subset (Brazilians who would look for this game in their own langauge and then recreate when not finding by acronymn). I think it's an empty Venn diagram, myself, and I don't see why we need to preserve the content in history.  I won't cry if it gets redirected, but we're not doing anyone favors by doing so.
