The result of the debate was DELETE. — JIP | Talk 19:39, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Is this OR, or something else? Already transwiki-ed. I recommend Delete. brenneman(t)(c) 05:53, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Pieces of this might be salvageable into articles, but as a whole it does not belong in Wikipedia, but perhaps in Wikibooks. Delete given the Transwiki already happened. - Andre Engels 13:32, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This looks to be a pretty helpful page, but unfortunatly not a Wikipedia article. Transwiki Mylakovich 13:55, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete now it's been transwiki'd. Note that I can't see any encyclopedic content here which isn't already covered in our wide range of generally pretty good articles on the Japanese language, so there's no point keeping any of it here for that purpose. — Haeleth Talk 18:23, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete post-transwiki article per Haeleth. Saberwyn 23:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment This is a nice guide to the Japanese language for new learners and appears perfect for Wikibooks. Fg2 01:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment There is already a Wikibook about learning Japanese. While the article is said to have been transwikied to Wikibooks, a little more thorough integration of it into Wikibooks would have made it look a little less like this was just a case of "dump into Wikibooks and delete". --DannyWilde 00:55, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know a whole lot about WB, but I imagined that they would have room for various books with different approaches. One might be an introduction to students who have already undertaken academic study of a different foreign language; another, a phrasebook for people planning travel or a homestay; a third, an overview of business Japanese etc. Also, I figured that on WB, it's up to the author to either integrate the material into an existing WB project, or keep it independent and distinguish it in some way from other books. "Dump and delete" is one point of view; another is "identify the right Wikimedia project for it and move it there." Fg2 06:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
