Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/es

message: I'm really impressed how far this project has come in the last month, a number of topic have been addressed.  The only point I have is that the general convention for the overall project is simply to remove items when they are completed.  Strikeouts, i.e.  Text  are not needed to indicate something is done; it's removal is sufficient enough notice.  Because this list can be generated again anything incorrectly removed can be covered on the next go 'round.  Reflex Reaction 18:32, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Strikeouts not needed

message: These were meant to be removed, but some crept through: I think the es-Wiki has more than one type of  tag. They can be simply removed, unless you believe that the en-Wiki also needs a disambiguation page with the same name. — BillC  talk 12:48, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I actually don't see why they should be removed. In general, disambiguation pages should have interwiki links, and ones needed in several languages are likely to be needed in English as well. For any individual ones where that makes no sense in English (for example, none of the entries could be referred to with the same name in English), they can be removed.

thread_title: Disambiguation pages

message: We need to come to a collective decision on how to deal with—i.e. to remove from these lists or not—articles that exist only in a stub form in the en-Wiki, but are fully fledged articles in the Spanish (or elsewhere). The case of Nambroca is typical: a two-sentence stub (yet properly categorised and interwikied) in English, but :es:Nambroca is a 500-word article. Your thoughts are welcome. — BillC  talk 23:00, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: On the French version, I've been putting them in a separate list at the bottom, to make the top easier to comb through, but that doesn't seem to draw much attention as they don't seem to be getting expanded very fast. I can think of two guidelines where they perhaps should be removed: (1) The article should at least be substantial enough that it doesn't meet the criteria for speedy deletion. For some topics (like settlements, which are basically notable regardless of size), that doesn't mean much, but for people, for instance, you couldn't let it stand as a stub like "Mr. X was a Spanish writer." If we don't check that there is some claim of notability, then the article could be deleted, and therefore missing again. (2) The article is inferior to all (or most) of the other interwiki links. In this case, Nambroca is okay, because only the Spanish link has more information. Ideally, that would also be on the Dutch, Italian, and Portuguese pages, but they seem to have been automatically generated like the English one, and have only the basic information. In most cases like this, having an infobox should be a minimum requirement. So, in other words, I would say Nambroca is "done," but perhaps other stubs wouldn't be.
