This page is just a translation of the 2006 International Building Code (as in title) and doesn't need a dedicated article. I'm not sure what the non-english text is, potential copyvio? IRWolfie- (talk) 22:14, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. I previously redirected it to International Building Code but the article creator restored the content. The Albanian text is just a translation plus some soapboxing. It's not sourced, per se, unless we count a link to a copy of the IBC (which already has its own article) - the article content itself is just an essay and not notable. bobrayner (talk) 22:24, 24 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've copied the message of the original author from his user talkpage:

Please don't mess with this work, everyone of us has their area of expertise. This article hurts no-one on the contrary it helps. Isn't this the original purpose of Wikipedia, disseminating helpful and relevant information?! Its time for you to move on! You are not helping Albanians with your actions, so please let it be.--Enejamushi (talk) 23:30, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

• the original author has further edited the article. It's no longer in English at all, but he does not wish to edit the albanian wikipedia. IRWolfie- (talk)

• Delete -- I came to the same conclusion as you guys after seeing it pop up on Bob's talk page. a13ean (talk) 00:46, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - there is nothing about the article that meets WP:N, WP:V or WP:RS, regardless of whether or not it is harmless. Stalwart111 (talk) 01:58, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete; the form of this article belongs at sq:wp, not here, although the soapboxing means that we should't transwiki it. If it were an English-language article on Albanian building codes, that would be a good idea, but things in Albanian don't belong here. Nyttend (talk) 06:22, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete This should have been speedied when first created, as a foreign-language article on a topic already covered by an English-language article. (See the procedure at WP:Articles needing translation into English, but since it has been translated previously, it may have been reported there earlier. To be sure, I've now reported it myself.) I think I see from the Google translation why the editor will not put it on the Albanian Wikipedia; otherwise I'd do so myself. It's not doing any good here. I have reverted the author's removal of the English translation to make the nature of the article easier to judge, since we shouldn't evaluate things purely on the basis of a Google translation.

• Comment: I suspect that (a) the original IBC is copyrighted, (b) the Google Docs link is to what seems to be a literal translation of the IBC with somebody else's copyright and registered marks pasted on top, (c) that somebody has a name very similar to the accountname of the editor who created the article... I will remove the link, per WP:ELNEVER. bobrayner (talk) 22:46, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
