[edit]Please move them to zh.ws. Still Digging.--Zhxy 519 (talk) 16:22, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- For the first work, zh.ws redirects to here. Are we sure that they will host these? I'm totally ignorant of literary Chinese, so I struggle to understand what's happening here. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 16:26, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Their copyrights should be expired (if no please let zh editors investigate in zh.ws). And the first redirect can be deleted, if technically necessary. Also, please move all the subpages as well. Zhxy 519 (talk) 17:15, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Koavf: Temporarily keep them as having Main_Page/lzh means the need to invite Chinese Wikisource to discuss how to handle them. Furthermore, Zhxy 519 still has major problems on Chinese Wikisource per Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2024#User not here to build a better free library, so better wait until settling the highly questionable adminship of Zhxy 519 that Chinese Wikisource is negotiating now. We cannot appreciate Zhxy 519's non-copyright proposed deletions as long as he monopolize the deadminship of Chinese Wikisource.--Jusjih (talk) 17:29, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- What’s wrong with you? Don’t mix irrelevant issues together. I sincerely invite @Koavf to make your opinion, please ignore Jusjih’s unprofessional words. Zhxy 519 (talk) 17:34, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- Zhxy, can we please lower the temp a little in this conversation? Jusjih, same?
- Do we have any signal from zh.ws that they want to host lzh source texts? If not, I can do the outreach with anyone bilingual. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:50, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- As a zh.ws admin, I can tell you that zh.ws has always been hosting lzh texts. A proof is that the pages in lzh like 分类:政書 is using all "zh:". If you still need a community consensus, I'm getting it. Zhxy 519 (talk) 22:02, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- I trust you and if you import these texts, then I will delete them here. You should be able to import at s:zh:Special:Import. Let me know if there are any issues. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:07, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

- @Jusjih: I can't speak to internal zh.ws drama. As long as someone is an admin there, I just have to trust that the community there is competent to police itself until/unless I know otherwise. If Zhxy imports these texts to zh.ws, I will delete the local copies. If the copies there are deleted, I will undelete here so that we can host them. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 22:09, 5 April 2025 (UTC)
- @Koavf: I see it in the same way. Draco flavus (talk) 20:17, 7 April 2025 (UTC)
- Chinese Wikisource always accepts literary Chinese content. The main reason why it redirects here is a decision by WMF LangCom at m:Requests_for_new_languages/Wikisource_Literary_Chinese#Proposed_rules_for_LZH_in_Multilingual_Wikisource:
- We also don't want Chinese Wikisource to sabotage this effort by copying content in from Multilingual Wikisource and claiming it should not belong in Multilingual Wikisource.
- The decision may have been irrelevant because 5 years have passed since that decision, but currently there’s no consensus on that. Midleading (talk) 02:50, 8 April 2025 (UTC)
- Now all these works are exported to zh.ws. Please delete them all including subpages. Zhxy 519 (talk) 03:40, 9 April 2025 (UTC)

[edit]This page is in the deletion category for a long time, but I cannot make a good judgement myself. Apparently, this has to do with copyright. --Ooswesthoesbes (talk) 17:57, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- This should be kept here. First off, this was published across several years, but that was a long time ago, so it's very likely that anyone who worked on it died a very long time ago and it's in the public domain in its place of publication (Poland) and it's certainly in the public domain in the United States. That said, we don't need to follow Polish law anyway. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 20:37, 12 May 2025 (UTC)
- Delete, we have an index in Polish subdomain. Michalg95 (talk) 09:43, 16 May 2025 (UTC)

[edit]Export or delete this unused file?--Jusjih (talk) 03:57, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
- I don't read Burmese, but based on looking at translations online and the lack of any source or licensing information makes me feel like deletion is warranted. If there's some reason to un-delete or someone needs to view it, let me know. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 04:36, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
A Tibetan text with no clear source. There's already a deletion discussion of a supposed English translation at the English Wikisource, here.
I have many concerns about the authenticity of even the original, untranslated page:
- A massive amount of text has been added recently to the transcription, post-deletion discussion at enWS. Where did that come from? I have no idea.
- A Google verbatim search for Tibetan phrases within the text come up with nothing: example.
- An LLM called perplexity.ai was admitted to being used for formatting of the text here and at English Wikisource, but it's not clear to what extent the LLM was used. To be clear, I'm not anti-AI like a lot of people are nowadays, but I still hope that an LLM wasn't used to generate this entire text from nothing, or that would be blatantly inauthentic.
What exactly is this work? Is it entirely user-generated? AI-generated? A transcription of an older text (which is what it should be if it's here)? No transparency has been given that I can see, and it concerns me to even keep this here. I do not speak Tibetan, but perhaps someone more familiar with that culture / history can check this situation out? SnowyCinema (talk) 12:25, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Pecha-Gade: I think the above is a very compelling case for deletion. Can you please answer SnowyCinema's questions above? —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 12:43, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
- @Koavf: Over on enWS, Pecha admitted to the work being a copyvio even in the original Tibetan language, and the translation was speedied there on those ground. So, could you speedy it here too, now? SnowyCinema (talk) 17:30, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
