Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Shaher Sultan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not exactly sure what this is meant to be, it's so nonsensical. There may be some factual history buried in it, but if so it's totally obscured. TPK 14:14, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete unless an Indian/Pakhistani contributor can improve it. This is about a sultanate, a religious/political district that no longer exists in that form. It's a valid topic, I think, but not like this. We'd need a fluent English speaker with knowledge both of that area, area of history, and NPOV encyclopedic content. I feel that delete is best because I despair of finding such a person on Clean Up. Geogre 16:48, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • This has to be a copyvio, with that attribution at the bottom: Site Developed & maintained by: Syed Fahad Bukhari, but I can't find where. RickK 20:04, Aug 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • I agree with RickK. This is a probable copyvio. -- Cyrius| 22:03, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. No context; shameless cut-and-paste job. --Benc 04:20, 2 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • No vote, just a comment. This appears to be a present-day city as well [1]. Google, however, finds only 20 hits. Andris 10:11, Aug 2, 2004 (UTC)
  • Though POV, this looks like a potentially good article on a real city, if it's not a copyvio. Let's try emailing the guy at the bottom before deciding to delete it. Keep, for the moment. - Mustafaa 03:06, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
  • Conditional Delete. Unattributed quotes make me nervous. The boxed text under definition of Shaher Sultan Culture is found on many websites, but the copyright for that text is found at [2]. One might make a "fair-use" argument for it, but taken with the already-seeming copyvio nature of the article, I'm leaning toward delete. If it turns out the attributed author submitted his own work, send to cleanup. Otherwise, delete. SWAdair | Talk 06:35, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)
