User talk:Jarble/Dog skeleton

Contested deletion

@Oiyarbepsy: There's plenty of potential for this article to grow, so I'm perplexed by this speedy deletion nomination. Shouldn't we keep this article until it has been transwikied from the Czech version of this article? Jarble (talk) 03:20, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Translate first, then make the page. Otherwise, this is the perfect example of a no-content page, you will have a hard time finding a better example. Besides, all that's here is a translate template, it's not like any work is lost. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 03:21, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

@Oiyarbepsy: It's very likely that someone will expand this article eventually even if we leave it alone. If the article is deleted, then the foreign language links to other Wikipedia articles will be lost. I also don't see any purpose in deleting this stub article: how will the community of Wikipedia benefit from its destruction? :( Jarble (talk) 04:20, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

@Jarble:Expand? There's no article to expand. To expand, you need to start with a stub. On that topic this isn't a stub. A stub tells you something about the topic, while this tells you literally nothing. A stub would be something like "the skeleton of a dog has xxx bones and is similar to a human skeleton". This is not a stub, this is a blank page with a template. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:45, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

That said, if you do write an article the reason for speedy deletion will no longer apply and it shouldn't be deleted. If you write something and they delete it anyway, let me know, since that shouldn't happen. Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:47, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
