March 2011[edit]

Category:Pecheneg[edit]

This is part of a big hoax. en:Pecheneg language is a long extinct Turkic language only fragmentarily attested. However, someone seems to have started up an Incubator project (now deleted) as well as this oldWikisource page in what appears to be a dialect of Turkish. There are no contents beyond the Main Page, so I propose deleting it. -- 79.245.119.190 23:55, 10 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted as a hoax. It didn't appear to me that there were any content pages though. --Ooswesthoesbes 09:15, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haitian Creole pages[edit]

The main page Kote Ki Pa Gen Dantist was deleted as a copyright violation. Therefore, these subpages should most likely be deleted as well. -- 79.245.119.190 00:03, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It looks like most of it is in English actually.. --Ooswesthoesbes 09:12, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Now deleting. These were all renamed when they were still active, so a number of redirect pages also need deleting. Eclecticology 07:13, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Also additional related pages. Eclecticology 08:04, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Middle Dutch pages[edit]

The request for a project in Middle Dutch has been rejected, because Middle Dutch pages should go to Dutch Wikisource. These pages all exist in the Dutch Wikisource, so it is not needed to have them here. -- Prince Kassad 20:01, 15 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was planning to export these pages to .xml first, so I suggest to wait until I have done that and then I'll delete this. --Ooswesthoesbes 06:20, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I have no complaint about deleting these pages. Nevertheless, it raises some interesting questions about how such things could be handled on Wikisource:Languages. I would be inclined to keep the category on that chart, and perhaps a link or explanation that this language is now included in the Dutch Wikisource. Eclecticology 09:16, 16 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, an explanation using <ref> could be a good idea. --Ooswesthoesbes 18:16, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

April 2011[edit]

Category:Esperanto[edit]

Esperanto wikisource has his own subdomain since March, 21 2011 (eo.wikisource). The import process is Done, now. Thanks. CasteloBrancomsg 11:37, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Народные песьні[edit]

It's a category for Belarusian mini-section in Wikisource. The category has wrong spelling. I moved all articles to Category:Народныя песьні. Since then, subj. category can be deleted. Wizardist 22:13, 9 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

June 2011[edit]

Lietuvos himnas[edit]

Duplicate of s:lt:Lietuvos Respublikos himnas. Jafeluv 08:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Transferred Sakha pages[edit]

Transferred to sah.wikisource. Jafeluv 08:59, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, per Wikisource:Scriptorium#New projects all of Category:Sakha can probably be deleted . Jafeluv 09:14, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done Candalua 18:49, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The contents of the following categories have been transferred to the eo: subdomain. Please delete all categories and their contents. Thanks. Jafeluv 18:28, 19 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anu-ano ang mga kasunduang nagtatakda sa teritoryo ng pilipinas[edit]

Test page. Jafeluv 09:06, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Elinan surma[edit]

I just recently had this transferred here from fi.source because I thought it was translated by someone who had died under 70 years ago. However, a fi.wikisource user found the correct name of the translator and verified that the work is PD and can be kept in the subdomain, so this can be deleted from here. Sorry for all the trouble.

Out of scope. The content looks copied from here and here. Jafeluv 10:04, 2 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All either unneeded or already transferred to eo.wikisource. Jafeluv 13:29, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nordfriisk articles[edit]

Please delete:

Thank you! --Murma174 21:54, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your quick reaction! Here's another deletion request:

October 2011[edit]

Out of scope greek/coptic reference pages[edit]

Reference the discussion at Wikisource:Scriptorium#Non-source_text_pages_in_mainspace, I propose the deletion of the following pages as out of scope:

These are not sources but are some sort of user reference, possibly original research, possibly copied from a source but with user comments. If sourced they might be suitable for inclusion on a wikipedia and the source itself may belong on a wikisource project, if Public Domain, probably on en.ws. However, as they are, these have no business on a wikisource project, especially in mainspace.--Doug.(talk contribs) 10:04, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You might add to these:
The first is basically just a Wikipedia article (spun off from the article on en-wiki); the second, third and forth might possibly make sense as part of a projectspace writing manual or something, but at least the second is only of marginal use at best, and should also be seen as part of a Wikipedia article more than anything else. Fut.Perf. 10:42, 5 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done Candalua 21:25, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Contents of Transwiki pseudo space[edit]

The transwiki pseudo space contains the following pages, in addition to the standard redirect at Transwiki:


  1. Transwiki:Otche nash (a redirect to The Lord's Prayer, which itself is an index of subdomain links)
  2. Transwiki:2002 My Belarusy lyrics contest
  3. Transwiki:Table of Unicode precomposed characters
  4. Transwiki:Unicode 1-50
  5. Transwiki:Unicode 51-75
  6. Transwiki:Unicode 76-100
  7. Transwiki:Unicode 101-125
  8. Transwiki:Unicode 126-150
  9. Transwiki:Unicode 151-175
  10. Transwiki:Unicode characters 32-63
  11. Transwiki:Unicode characters 64-95
  12. Transwiki:Unicode characters 96-127
  13. Transwiki:Unicode characters 160-191
  • 1 is a redirect and should be moved out of transwiki space to mainspace if needed (I could do this but it would just leave another redirect), otherwise it should be deleted.
  • 2 already exists in mainspace under the same title, it appears to have originally been posted here then copied to en.ws then transwikied back here, though I didn't check the dates carefully. I'm not sure that the mainspace content is in scope or free but the point here is there is no need for a transwiki page for this and this should be deleted.
  • 3-13 are out of scope and should be deleted. They are unicode tables similar in purpose to the Coptic/Greek tables in the thread above and were transwikied here from enwiki. Maybe at one time the thinking was that all references, even user created ones, belonged on source.--Doug.(talk contribs) 13:59, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

N.B.: all of these pages have an associated talk page that should also be deleted. In the case of the first one, I don't see the point to keeping the transwikied edit history for a redirect. The best option may be to delete the page and talk page and create the redirect in mainspace if desired, rather than moving this and having to deal with irrelevant history dating back to when this was attempting to be an article on enwiki.--Doug.(talk contribs) 14:04, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done, and left the redirect for 1. Candalua 20:04, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:संस्कृत[edit]

Moved to own language subdomain. -- Liliana-60 14:47, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, the content should be deleted as well I guess. --Ooswesthoesbes 06:13, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Logically yes but to be confirmed : Aṣṭādhyāyī don’t seems to be on sa.ws : sa:Aṣṭādhyāyī.
Cdlt, VIGNERON 21:40, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That link points to sa.wikipedia. On sa.wikisource, the page was deleted, but that's the decision of the local community. -- Liliana-60 04:19, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sorry. Could you confirm everything has been moved ? Cdlt, VIGNERON 12:21, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
User:Shijualex, who imported all the Sanskrit pages, confirmed it here. -- Liliana-60 14:23, 28 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ooups, I forgot this page. I’ve start the deletions (~500 done, ~1500 to go). Cdlt, VIGNERON 16:51, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

looks like this is done -- Liliana-60 15:14, 21 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yep, I kept some pages (templates and ASCII pages) per Doug advice (Wikisource:Scriptorium#Deletion_of_templates_etc_associated_with_subdomains). I’m not sure it will really be useful but it cause no harm neither. Cdlt, VIGNERON 20:25, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

November 2011[edit]

Esperanto templates[edit]

Template:Kunprojektoj, Template:Bazaj datenoj, Template:PH-aĝo-70[edit]

moved to eo.wikisource -- Liliana-60 13:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done, VIGNERON 16:52, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Capitol[edit]

moved to ro.wikisource -- Liliana-60 13:56, 1 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Category:पाळिभासा[edit]

Empty category. Redundant to Category:Pali. -- Liliana-60 19:45, 5 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

December 2011[edit]

Main Page:Corsu - Category:Corsu[edit]

Corsican Main Page was created in 2003, but there aren't texts in Corsican language.--Erasmo Barresi 17:43, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

True but a main page is not unuseful, is it ? VIGNERON 11:00, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
There. Wasn't that hard, was it? -- Liliana-60 16:42, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with no prejudice to re-creation if Corsican texts get added. However, Italian Wikisource hosts texts in most Romance languages of Italy and may well host, or be willing to host, Corsican (which is spoken in northern Sardinia as well as Corsica) as well, in which case this page will never be needed here. —Angr 23:17, 21 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposal withdrawn: now there is a text in Corsican.--Erasmo Barresi 13:42, 22 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
