Catalan Wikipedia[edit]

Catalan Wikipedia (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log • AfD statistics)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

fails our inclusion guidelines; sources are not third-party, since they're us or the Foundation. Ironholds (talk) 11:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Sources are very easy to find, both as "Catalan Wikipedia" [1] and as "Viquipèdia" [2]. Warrah (talk) 12:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  All of which seem to fail WP:GNG all over again, because they don't demonstrate significant coverage; they're brief snippets. Ironholds (talk) 13:09, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Question can someone search for Catalan language results and let me know what is found? CTJF83 chat 05:47, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• It's absurd deleting this article. All languages in Wikipedia have their own article.--Galazan (talk) 10:25, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
• Firstly, no, they don't. Secondly, even if they did, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a valid argument. Ironholds (talk) 11:37, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There are lots of external references in ca:Viquipèdia:Notícies sobre la Viquipèdia. Somebody should add some of them as references in the article. Paucabot (talk) 10:59, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I have added a scholarly reference which confirms the projects status as the most substantial Wiki in a regional language. Colonel Warden (talk) 14:34, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  Then I have no problem with withdrawing this nom, assuming someone can do the honours (never worked it out). Ironholds (talk) 15:08, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep I am happy to see that the proposer has withdrawn his AfD. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:43, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
