Delete - wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of huge theses. Translation here. Syrthiss (talk) 17:16, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. Based on the translation above, it appears to be the text of a script. If not original research, then there's an issue of reprinting it here and whether it infringes copyrights. With the partial translation, that'll be hard to prove. However, unless the term is backed up with independent (English, preferably) reliable sources, it needs to go. —C.Fred (talk) 17:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I have seen the term "glocalism" used by some globalization commentators like Thomas Friedman as an esoteric political phenomenon, but that term is not prevalent enough to establish notability. This article under discussion might be a foreign version of the same thing, maybe not. Either way, can't establish notability in English WP without English sources.

Comment - this is something that the malaysian and indonesian projects are inflicted with regularly - and the context of that issue - malay or indonesian language material dumped into WP en - is something that should be considered, rather than allowing credence at face value. Also there seems a lack of understanding from the comments above - I think the user name (from the rusty memory of the current editor) is totally unsuitable and potentially blockable :) Satu Suro 04:24, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - as something that shows (1) no understanding of what wikipedia is or is not (dumping essays?) (2) duplicating material already on en wikipedia (see below) (3) mixing of language usage in text and potentially contentious POV items in text Satu Suro 04:42, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. English Wikipedia has an article on Glocalisation, Glocal Forum, and Glocals.com. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 04:35, 18 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
