  • Delete, no utility. Lacrimosus 23:55, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC).
  • Looks like its a refugee from Papiamento. Suggest merge (anything useful?) and redirect (only since its been here awhile and redirects are harmless). -- Netoholic @ 00:36, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete with no redirect. Since the section at Papiamento appears to contain those phrases and more, there is no need to merge. Redirects are generally harmless but not in this case. Phrase samples is a general term that is not specific to Papiamento language and redirecting it there would be misleading. And thanks to Netoholic for finding this out what this is. I would have been really puzzled by this page otherwise. Andris 00:44, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
    • The problem is that the page does have useful edit history. If someone were to make this a redirect, WP:RFD would not delete it for that reason. Suggest merging the page history of Phrase samples into the history of Papiamento. -- Netoholic @ 00:59, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
      • I do not quite see how the history is useful in this case. It consists of three edits:the user creating the page, SimonP tagging it for vfd and Netoholic putting a note about relation to Papiamento. It is certainly true that RFD cannot delete redirects with history but there is no reason to make this a redirect before deletion. Andris 19:47, Sep 9, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; as Andris points out these are already in the Papiamento article. No need for duplication. Antandrus 00:47, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: No redirect, no need, no use. Geogre 00:48, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete; no utility, no need for redirect. jni 09:04, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
