Delete

 * 1) Article written in another language, appears to be some sort of self promotional material. Gale5050 (talk) 00:28, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

Keep

 * 1) Article created by user who has created a number of articles in the same language. A quick look on Google translate suggests that the article is not promotional, and the long edit history of the creator suggests that they are not the same person as the subject.

 * 2) Serene is right. The reason for deletion is invalid. But this article does bring up another minor problem that I will talk about below. Spud (talk) 03:02, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

I strongly feel that articles in languages other than English shouldn't have titles that are just somebody's name. We should always follow the example of David Icke (français) and include the name of the language in parentheses. And that's even if there isn't an equivalent articlle about the person in English. After this is over and the article is kept, I will move it to Peter Lipták (slovensky). I would also move Hélio Couto to Hélio Couto (português) but I can't produce the character ê on my Taiwanese keyboard.

I would also very much prefer all articles in other languages to be translations of articles that already exist in English. Creating the two articles, one in English and one in the other language, at the same time would be OK. That should prevent things like this AfD from happening and also prevent people from creating pages in other languages that would be instantly deleted for being hopelessly off-mission if they were written in English.

Anyway, I'm going to add hatnotes to all non-English articles that don't have English equivalents saying what language they're in. That's in the hope of preventing people who come to them by clicking on random article from saying, "What the hell is this crap?" Spud (talk) 03:02, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
