Morten Messerschmidt and related Danish politician articles
Not notable among English speakers; no reliable source for translation of Danish newspaper articles. 121a0012 05:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Vote closes: 06:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote extended to 09:00, 20 November 2006 (UTC) so that all articles included get the full seven days. 121a0012 02:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Concur with extension; I should have done that myself. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote extended to 10:00, 24 November 2000 (UTC), as I'd forgotten to vfd-tag the articles I'd added. (Thanks, 121a0012, for pointing this out.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 09:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: The same may go for other Danish People's Party politicians (see whatlinkshere for a list). 121a0012 06:11, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I've expanded this nomination to include the following articles suggested by 121a0012, all of which share the same basic problems:
 * Danish People's Party
 * Mogens Camre
 * Pia Kjærsgaard
 * Ulla Dahlerup
 * Kristian Thuesen Dahl
 * Per Dalgaard
 * Jesper Langballe
 * Søren Krarup
 * I've also added Danish Wikiquote tags to the articles to show that, as of this post, none but Per Dalgaard has a corresponding article (not even the party article), nor do most of them have an en:Wikipedia article. This appears to be an attempt to use en:Wikiquote to create a broader audience for a specific political party. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all unless evidence of notability in the English-speaking world provided and English translation of quotes properly sourced. This should include the creation of articles in en:WP, da:WP, and da:WQ, all of which should normally exist before the corresponding en:WQ articles on a Danish subject. All these articles were created between 24-27 April 2006, so someone had the time and interest to generate this oddly-specific activity. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:43, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all. ~ UDScott 15:28, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all per Jeffq. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:50, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: There is one among these of whom I have heard before is Mogens Camre, who is a member of the European Parliament and therefore notable on a slightly wider stage (in an earlier existence I used to read the debates in the EP and his speeches tended to stand out). He is occasionally quoted in the British and Irish press (ten mentions in the past decade). Pia Kjærsgaard as party leader also has had some coverage. Camre's quote about muslims infiltrating and "waiting to kill us" has been in the British press (Financial Times, 14 November 2001). Fys. &#147;Ta fys aym&#148;. 10:11, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * My vote should cover the case where such English-language publications are cited, but no one has actually added any such citations to the Camre article, or any other that I've noticed. If you've got the specific news-article titles and dates, Fys, please add them so we can adjust our positions if necessary. Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete all except those Fys has identified as potentially worth keeping, provided he or someone else with the appropriate English-language sources is able to provide verifiable quotations. 121a0012 02:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
