Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Barone Rosso

Barone Rosso
This is a direct copy from Italian Wikiquote -- an article which I think is inadequate even there. Since the quote is unsourced, and is neither translated into English nor in (von Richthofen's native German, it doesn't seem worth saving to me. If in the future someone has some sourced and translated quotes from the Red Baron, the article can be resurrected. — Ubiquity 14:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete - do we have a policy that pages must be in English (or translated into English)? If not, we should have one, perhaps as a speedy delete basis. Cheers! BD2412 T 20:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, come to think of it, on Wiktionary when an untranslated foreign-language entry is added, we just throw a   template on it which says that if it is not translated within 30 days it will be deleted. How about importing that standard (perhaps with a shorter timeframe to act)? BD2412  T 01:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, unless translated and sourced quotes are provided. ~ UDScott 15:24, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete It's preposterous to have an article in Italian about a German on English Wikiquote. As I've noted on WQ:VP, I think Prod is appropriate in these cases.--Poetlister 17:03, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per Poetlister, this should be a Prod. Since, however, a VfD and a Prod each have a duration of one week, this may as well be left as a VfD pending possible translation. - InvisibleSun 10:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: I didn't prod because in the past there has sometimes been a lot of effort to save notable foreign posts, like Adam Mickiewicz, Stuart Merrill and Syracusa. But I admit I didn't feel there would be that kind of effort in this case; in the future I'll try to be more discriminating. --Ubiquity 12:40, 9 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom & Poetlister.--Cato 16:38, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete let's have an article in English with an English name.--Yehudi 09:46, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per above comments. --FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 21:23, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Struck, with apologies to FloNight, as coming in after deadline. We've got to get better at closing these discussions on time. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 22:13, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
