Obviously written by a non-English speaker. It is so bad that I imagine it would be easier to erase the article and start from scratch. Although, there is already an article at Manchukuo. · Katefan0(scribble) 03:59, May 1, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, article as it stands is not encyclopaedic, fork. Megan1967 04:43, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete It is unclear even what the title can be. Ideally, the information could be merged into Manchuko, but just extracting the information may be more difficult than starting from scratch. Terrace4 10:29, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. "if others cyphers and analizes why demostrated the enormous interest why poses Japanover Manchoukouan resources since your intervention". This is a cypher no-one will ever "analize", no matter how hard they try. — P Ingerson (talk) (contribs) 14:44, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
(Still think delete) The author is rewriting the article under a different title: Dates of Manchukuo Finances,Industry and Commerce. Evidently he has made excellent contributions in the past, but just needs help with the cleanup. Terrace4 16:38, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect now to Manchukuo (financial, industrial and commercial data). And cut it out with the snide stuff about non-native English speakers. The English Wikipedia used to be a more tolerant place, I think. "if others cyphers and analizes why demostrated the enormous interest why poses Japanover Manchoukouan resources since your intervention" is (are) other figures and analyses which demonstrate the enormous interest which had for Japan Manchukuo's resources, after the intervention.

- I have read Finnegan's Wake. I wouldn't dream of using it as a comparison deisgned to offend a valued contributor. Charles Matthews
- We can keep the ad hominem attacks out of this, both re:the author's English skills and re:whether critiques of a poorly written article are designed to offend the author. Regardless, why keep the article with this title, which will never be searched (what is "commets"?), when another article with the same information and a better title has been started by the same author? Essentially, the information should be moved (which the author has already done) and this title deleted. Terrace4 11:23, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Agreed. That can't be done under VfD rules, though, until we are all done here.Charles Matthews

- Redirect as above and cleanup. Is there a translated article cleanup template? — RJH 19:15, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, {{cleanup-translation}} Kappa 02:50, 2 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I had made some changes to the article under its original title, and today discovered that the same original content has been duplicated under the better title that Charles Matthews reported above. For that reason, I put a notice near the top of the original asking people not to edit it, but rather to edit the new one. This series of articles is turning into a valuable in-depth look at several aspects of Manchukuo. Fg2 03:48, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
