Draft:Honor (merk)

 * – (View MfD)

Dutch translation of an enwiki article. Not useful to ever become an article here, and text also exists at User:Cosmin-Alexandru Șerban/sandbox, so work is not lost by deletion. Fram (talk) 08:34, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * It is OK to use en.wikipedia for transactions. The user would be better advised to use userspace, but why is there any issue? —SmokeyJoe (talk) 08:49, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Translations, you mean? The user already uses userspace, as I indicated, so this is a duplicate in draftspace, which serves no purpose. Draft space is intended for the development of articles for enwiki, drafts for other languages belong on (in this case) nlwiki. I have no problem with someone using his sandbox here for a translation of a page intended for somewhere else, but draft space has a specific purpose, and pages which can never meet that purpose shouldn't be there.

 * translations yes. Sounds like “delete the draft in favour of the sandbox”.  If the user wants the draft, userfy it.  —SmokeyJoe (talk) 09:29, 17 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - It's a draft, and it doesn't need deleting, because it needs translating, and there is no deadline for translating. Robert McClenon (talk) 06:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * it doesn't need translating, it is already a translation of Honor (brand). Fram (talk) 07:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Question - Do we have a few New Page reviewers who are reviewing incoming drafts and applying criteria that would be appropriate in article space? Robert McClenon (talk) 06:35, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Thank you for the explanation, User:Fram. It needs moving to the Dutch Wikipedia, and possibly tagging for review of the quality of the translation, but there isn't a feature to do that, so as it is, it needs deleting.  Robert McClenon (talk) 13:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - This is probably a very strange good-faith blunder by the author, who may not know that there isn't a command to move foreign articles into foreign encyclopedias. Somebody needs to explain to the author that they should put their translation directly in the Dutch Wikipedia.  Robert McClenon (talk) 13:20, 18 February 2020 (UTC)
 * Question for, so requests to translate foreign language Wikipedia articles onto English Wikipedia are done in a sort of holding cell on the foreign encyclopedia, do I have that right? For instance, if I wanted to have Mehus translated from Norwegian Wikipedia to Mehus, Norway on English Wikipedia, assuming Mehus, Norway met our notability criteria for geographic locations, I'd have to place the request at Norwegian Wikipedia?
