Article was listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion July 2 to July 10 2004, consensus was not reached over what to do with it. Discussion:

I can see the benefit of having a template that can be used to link wikipedia articles with articles in sister projects about the same thing, but these two articles consist solely of that link. These are not articles IMO and the only reason I haven't speedily deleted them is that I'm not sure of the policy on the use of this template. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 13:54, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)

  • Given that the template was created yesterday, I think we're going to have to set policy. I think it's a bad idea. If we want something like this, it needs to be handled programmatically. Trying to do this by hand is not going to work very well. -- Cyrius| 22:06, 2 Jul 2004 (UTC)
    • I found another one: Edit. If these were articles that only contained a link to another language wiki, or just a category and nothing else I would deleted them on sight so to be honest I don't see how these are any different. All three were created by Patrick. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 13:38, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
      • I was inspired and encouraged by WP:PUMP#What_content_should_we_have_here.3F and Flagrante delicto. Of course these are not articles. They are more like a redirect, but not an actual one, because interwiki redirects have some disadvantages. It provides more integration between projects: if I am looking for info about a topic and there is no article in Wikipedia, than it is better than nothing to have a dictionary definition at Wiktionary, and perhaps it is a starting point for writing an article. But I agree that an automatic way would be better.--Patrick 19:16, 3 Jul 2004 (UTC)
