The result was Keep

The Exposure Upper Jurassic adjournment on the right coast Kuibyshev of a water basin[edit]

Text looks like it has been translated badly using an automated translator. As such, it may represent copyright infringement. This AfD is necessary to decide if the material should be retained. Fritzpoll (talk) 13:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Some, but not all, of the text strongly resembles the descriptions here. I'm not sure whether the article should actually be considered copyvio or not. That aside, I'm neutral on deletion. Clearly, the article is the result of Russian text being auto-translated, and so is of very poor quality. The topic itself does not seem to be a national park, but rather a regionally protected area (maybe like a US state park?) and I confess that I do not know the precedents for retention of similar topics.

Comment Nor am I, which is why I wanted to bring it to more expert attention - Fritzpoll (talk) 16:48, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a description of its discovery in the 1930s. Its probably notable under a more sensible name, and can be tagged for attention from Russian speakers. Relata refero (talk) 17:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that this is best handled then by referring to other editors. I withdraw the nomination for AfD - Fritzpoll (talk) 20:33, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - if (as I feel it could be) this is tidied up and given a better name (there has GOT to be a better name!), the current title - which would hardly make a plausible redirect - could well find a good home at WP:DAFT. Grutness...wha? 13:10, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- BTW, the Russian name for the formation seems to translate as "Exposed Upper Jurassic deposits". Unfortunately, my Russian dictionary doesn't stretch to telling me whether Kuibychev is a placename or refers to the block-like shape of the deposits. And the linked article Protected_areas_of_Ulyanovsk_Oblast is no help whatsoever. Grutness...wha? 13:21, 21 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - This is Kuybyshev, the Soviet name of the Samara, Russia, a large city on Volga River Alex Bakharev (talk) 12:32, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - The deposits are on the right bank of Kuybyshev Reservoir Alex Bakharev (talk) 12:50, 23 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the nomination has been withdrawn, this AfD can now be closed. I have referred the matter to the Russia-related Wikipedia notice board. - 52 Pickup (deal) 15:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
