[edit] Other

• Notability question - is Florian Pfaff notable? Thanks, Andjam 07:32, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The German article was listed as a possible candidate for deletion but they decided (with no "delete" votes) to keep it. He was on TV and the case was well-known. Saint|swithin 08:36, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

• Aleturkish has been re-created after being deleted under PROD, so now it's up at AFD. Angr (talk • contribs) 22:34, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
• A request has been initiated to move Stephansdom to St Stephen's Cathedral (or, more probably, St Stephen's Cathedral, Vienna). The discussion is at Talk:Stephansdom. --Stemonitis 15:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
• Thomas Eller---I found this untranslated article while working on candidates for speedy deletion. I do not know German so I don't have any idea whether or not it is worthy of translation. Thanks. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 14:20, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deleted as copyvio (it was lifted wholesale from another website). —Angr 14:43, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested merges

• Should German studies and Germanistics be merged?
  • Somebody has renamed Germanistics to German (studies), which doesn't really make sense, especially if the articles aren't merged.

I've moved German (studies) to German studies. Germanistics now gets redirected there too. Saint|swithin 07:49, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
