Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dalak

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was delete the current content.

However, I also note that there were several recommendations to redirect it to Dalek as a reasonable mispelling. There is also a disambig link already on the article to the Dahlak Archipelago. I am going to delete this to clean out the history then recreate it as a disambiguation page. Rossami (talk) 06:04, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Amendment: The page comes up with block-compress errors and can not be deleted. Reviewing the content, I can't find anything so overwhelmingly offensive that it must be deleted from the edit history. In the interest of time, I simply converted it to the disambig page. Rossami (talk) 06:09, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Dalak

Looks like a slang expression more worthy of Wiktionary than here (if anywhere). Anyone know enough Danish to work out what it means? Grutness|^hello? 11:57, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Misspelling redirect to Dalek? -- Cyrius|✎ 13:13, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Exterminate! Exterminate! Exterminate this article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:16, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I would urge merging with Bjarne Liller article if there was enough content to make that worth while, but this isn't even an adiquate explanation. The band IMO is just within adiquate notability in international trad jazz circles, but the neologism Danish catch-phase of one of the members is not. Anyway, Dalak is also the name of a place in Afganistan, which may be more worthy of an eventual article. -- Infrogmation 16:11, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Dalek. DJ Clayworth 21:20, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Strong Delete. This is just terrible. I'm Danish and I can assure you that so few Danes have heard of this expression (if it even exists) that it probably wouldn't even deserve an article on the Danish wiki. Btw. only one Google hit, and that's a wikipedia mirror :) Preisler 22:04, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Redirect (without merge) to Dalek; it seems like a plausible misspelling. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 16:17, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
There's a bit of a problem with the Dalak in Afghanistan [1]. Whilst I found a hotel guide that gives its location and elevation, two on-line maps (multimap and MSN) and the Times atlas all deny its existence. (Multimap lists a Dalek and a Dalka in Afghanistan, however.) The fact that the hotel guide only listed Dalak in the Google cached version didn't help in persuading me of its existence.
