The result was Userfy. Clearly not ready/suitable for mainspace but if the writer is still interested once they got their grade then userfication and fixing sound better then outright deletion. Spartaz Humbug! 07:09, 11 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of Notability of company (not even a hit on Google) and the article is written as an advertisement. Ajh1492 (talk) 20:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete per my comment at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Poland#POLENG. Doesn't seem notable, more like a promo. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 01:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Update. Thanks for finding the pl article on Transatlantica. At the current stage, we could consider moving this article to Translatica, rewriting could be as simple as moving the sections around. Is Transatlantica notable? I am not sure; pl:Translatica has many refs but almost all are from Translatica website. Sigh. If I wasn't an inclusionist I'd consider AfD-ing that on pl wiki and seeing how the discussion goes. Btw, Google Book search shows 1-2 mentions of the company and its product ([1]). Not much, but still... --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:32, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- This is their website; I'm not sure if there's much by way of secondary sources about the company, though their main claim to fame seems to be developing the Translatica software (though I'm also not sure how roles in that divide between this company and pwn.pl). Perhaps we should follow Polish Wikipedia and have an article on pl:Translatica but not POLENG.--Kotniski (talk) 09:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- So the article author ought to translate and create the Translatica article and we should speedy delete the POLENG article. Ajh1492 (talk) 14:53, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi! I'm the Author of this article, it's not promotional - I didn't meant it to be like that. I have an assignment for my Machine translation classes at University of Bremen to create an article in Wikipedia about One of the chosen by teacher companies. I'll edit it today so you can see if the changes are good to go. I hope you won't delete it, because I won't get a grade for it...
Your sincerely, M.
- I suggest you create an article on Translatica software package itself. Ajh1492 (talk) 15:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - You may wish to peruse Wikipedia:WikiProject Classroom coordination and Wikipedia:School and university projects, and suggest that your teacher have a look at it as well. -- Whpq (talk) 16:20, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- AuthorComment I've made some changes in this article I hope they'll fit, you can read it once again and I'm waiting for suggestions. I hope it will be good this time. If not, and it fits better for "Translatica" I'll change the name of the article. But Please please please don't delete it till wednesday evening, than after that if it's still wrong you can delete it. But I hope we will find a way out of it soon. Gotta go to work

- Is your teacher aware of the Wikipedia:School and university projects and Wikipedia:Ambassador program? Does s/he has an account on English Wikipedia? Please let him/her know that we offer guidance to educators so that their students would not have to worry about articles being deleted. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:24, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: If deleted, I recommend moving to user space, something like User:Myszeida/POLENG, so the student still has a URL to give their professor. It can be deleted from there later, if necessary. We can then work out a better course plan with the professor for the future. Dcoetzee 17:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- A nice idea, although I think the student got the grade yesterday (Wen), and his comments suggest he doesn't care what happens to the article afterward :( --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 17:57, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
