00:40, 26 November 2005 (UTC) Santa Luċija

 * Santa Lucija - months ago I had created this article. Obviously it has to be merged with St. Lucia's. I personally do not agree on the name St.Lucia's. If anything, It should be St.Lucia - or simple merge with Santa Lucija, as renaming as St. Lucia one would have to create a disambiguation page with St. Lucia (Malta) and St. Lucia (the country) Maltesedog 15:44, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * In the MaZE it is Santa Luċija with the ċ. I don't at all prefer the spelling linked into the template.. I found it linked that way from the 'list of local councils'.  Sounds like the Santa Lucija should move to [{Santa Luċija]] and the links move to point there.. can probably request deletion on st.lucija's?    Srl 16:36, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes I agree. But I doubt whether people are willing to search with the Maltese alphabet. Certainly foreigners do not have such characters on their keyboard. So its good if we place a rediret from St. Lucija to St. Luċija. (This would be done automatically if we move the page.) In the meantime I'm placing an afd for St. Lucia's.
 * I think such things should be redirects here on en, with the real content with the correct names. On mt we have only the correct names.  Srl 22:23, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Matter resolved by redirecting St. Lucia's to Santa Luċija. Maltesedog 20:26, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Boy um, ... that was a short AfD phase, mhux hekk?   np though i think since i made the other page. I think you didn't fix the template and LC lists, i'll fix 'em. Srl 21:57, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I fixed the templates. St. Lucia's is history! I think this matter is resolved.. Srl 10:29, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

Malta template? 00:43, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
Please discuss the template itself here. Srl 21:33, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

Also the english version of Santa Lucija is Sta Lucia as far as i know not St. Lucia's. I have also replied to your comments placed on the peer review page. Maltesedog 10:47, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * The template has St. Paul's Bay in brackets.
 * Cool. I just finished making an article for all of the malta LC's (not gozo yet..) they are very stubby please feel free to expand.. as to St. Lucia's i just created it, sorry :/ how should it best be fixed? Srl 09:30, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Categorization question here - input needed.. Srl 09:48, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

07:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC) Saint Julian
I had made an attempt to throw most of the information in this town under an article called St. Julian because its irrelevant to the village.

A certain person has replaced the content back into the village.

How are we to proceed?

Maltesedog 10:57, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It looks like you removed the section instead of linking to it.. where did you move it to? Looking at Talk:St. Julian's, if I didn't read your comment here, it wouldn't be clear what you are saying, I think you mean "the information on st julian is irrelevant and should be moved elsewhere"?    In summary, I suggest that you expand your comments on the Talk:St. Julian's page so that they reflect (briefly) the situation and concern, even to those you are not addressing directly, and lets discuss it on that page.   (hope this makes sense..)   I think I am in agreement that it should be moved.   OK, I found it: Saint_Julian was removed as a copyright violation..   Srl 17:42, 18 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Its probably copied from some book this time as well. I don't know! I had created the article (the IP number is mine), but soon realised it was copied... is this text copied or what? Maltesedog 20:00, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It says 'from MUSEUM with permission'. I took a stab at separating it again... seem to have avoided the copyvio:  Saint Julian..  Srl 01:58, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Agree Maltesedog 20:33, 20 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Discovered another Saint with the name Julian which is redirected from the page St Julian. A disambiguation page is neccessary? Maltesedog 20:36, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Yep, i think so. Maybe ask at the Saint or List of Saints page for help? Srl 08:23, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * I think this can be done easily by ourselves, but if you believe we should ask please do so Maltesedog 12:23, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Here's a proposal. I don't think a disambiguation page is needed.. I don't know how much of this needs to be proposed on the pages themselves or not.

I wouldn't be opposed to a disambiguation page, but I almost think it would be better to not do one if there are just links between the two articles. Just my Lm0.02 Srl 17:08, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Move Saint_Julian to Julian the Poor or something
 * 2) make St. Julian's and any other current links link to the new page
 * 3) (note St Julian is only linked one time, from Sherborne.)
 * 4) Put at the top of both Julian the Poor and Julian of Norwich a see-also link to the other.


 * Not sure whether the reference as St. Julian as Julian the Poor is theologically correct. (Need to check). I think it would be better to ask for help. Maltesedog 12:41, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Ma nafx.. just used that as an example. That's why I said Maybe ask at the Saint or List of Saints page Srl 18:29, 26 November 2005 (UTC)
 * please Archive when you are happy, mtdog. Srl 03:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Placed a request in the saints talk page. Maltesedog 08:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

 * Dustin zammit - see Talk:Dustin zammit - copyvio? is he even a footballer? Srl 16:40, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No results in the "Google Test", would propose for afd as "non-notable" Maltesedog 20:02, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Let's wait to see if he responds. Valletta United (Valletta FC?) is real, a player in it might be notable?  Srl 22:31, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Valletta United (?) is an old Valletta football team of pre-war times see Maltesedog 12:18, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Sky Malta does not exist. The player is only 16 years old (therefore does not play in local leagues). Non-notability, therefore is an issue. Maltesedog 12:22, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * OK, agree on AFD then.. do you want to propose it? Srl 16:57, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Done, let's see the afd process before archiving Maltesedog 12:38, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Malta-stub 19:33, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
The proposal for Malta-stub has been filed! You can see it here under stub proposals - please feel free to add Malta related stubs to that list. Srl 17:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
 * It's made! See  list of things that need to be tagged Srl 20:07, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Prosit Maltesedog 20:22, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * My fingers are going to fall off, but i think i tagged 'em all. 「ѕʀʟ·！」 06:06, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the good job. I was a bit busy in the last days, couldn't help much. Maltesedog 09:39, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, we had resolved it on the talk page ages ago. Maltesedog 19:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi all
Hi, I was wondering if a Maltese Wikipedian could lend their knowledge to an AfD on an article entitled Strampop, which is some kind of article on a genre of music in Malta, which includes everyone from Arctic Monkeys Incubus to Radiohead and Pink Floyd. A guy from Malta has created this article, which is currently up for AfD here: Articles for deletion/Strampop. There seems to be no google hits whatever to confirm this article exists, and it really looks like he's made it up. However, I don't know anything about Malta, other than it's in the Mediterranean, has a football team called Valetta, and won the George Cross after getting battered in World War 2. Which is to say, I really can't tell if this guy has made this up, or if it really is a widely used term in Malta. Please could you guys weigh in at the AfD. Thanks.
