Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/French Without Translation

French Without Translation
This is three years old and it only contains the single sentence: "Roger est un [1]. S'il fait beau, il se promene. Aujourd'hui, il fait beau, mais il fait du vent [2]". Recent Runes (talk) 15:45, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * That's not quite true. Clicking on the Commençons link from the splash page takes you to the Table des Matières, which has one extant module that's almost empty and needs some cleanup.
 * I put an rfd warning on User talk:Esoltas (though I am aware Esoltas disappeared from Wikibooks and Wikipedia in 2007). --Pi zero (talk) 16:51, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, and I also didn't mention "Prépare toi pour le défi de ta vie!" (Prepare yourself for the challenge of your life!). Probably most people will need to look elsewhere though.... Recent Runes (talk) 18:32, 4 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete Details as may be, the bottom line is it's apparently abandoned with no meaningful content, as what's there would not be useful to anyone who wanted to adopt the book. --Pi zero (talk) 20:01, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete I'm on the fence with whether to let this slide as a concept despite little content, but when considering that given the approach this book seems to take (not only no translations, but no English text whatsoever), this book would rather belong over at French Wikibooks. --Swift (talk) 21:41, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I have to agree; someone who wants this sort of challenge is more likely to go hunting on wb-fr than here in any event. Chazz (talk) 21:58, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I actually don't agree with this point. If I were an English-speaker looking for an advanced textbook on French as a second language, I would look for it on English Wikibooks, not French Wikibooks.  Just because a textbook doesn't use English doesn't mean it isn't designed to be helpful to people whose native language is English.  Of course, I still don't think that applies to this textbook, because there's no textbook there for it to apply to, hence my vote.  --Pi zero (talk) 22:22, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it's conceivable that a book without any English at all could be appropriate for English Wikibooks. But I don't see this as being such a book. Perhaps a book written completely in French but with English "cliff notes" and translation glossaries made available. Or a book that was designed to be completely language independent (like the idea behind Wikijunior Visual Math.) -- xixtas  talk 14:52, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Symbol delete vote.svg Delete I quit the Wikis a while ago because of time constraints. I will not be working on the project further. Delete if if you want.--Esoltas (talk) 00:44, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
