Violates WP:NPOV/WP:BIAS and WP:SYN. Anglophone users may be very prevalent on the internet, but it isn't inherently English. To Russians, we're foreign language internet users. References that use the phrase do so from an English-language point of view; it's meaningless on its own. --BDD (talk) 23:54, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete, or alternatively redirect to Languages used on the Internet. There's a merge proposal to that page, but I don't think there's quite anything to merge. In any case, the article is hopelessly biased and not worth saving at all. Ansh666 01:20, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Languages used on the Internet. I agree with the nom - the first thought I had on seeing the article was "whose foreign language?" I don't think it would be possible to write a neutral article with this title, or with a paraphrased title, so I think redirection or deletion is the way to go. — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 13:00, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect, seems to be the most sensible option to also preserve page history for possible future educational usage. — Cirt (talk) 02:01, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless someone wants to save the sources and merge more coherent English into Languages used on the Internet or Website localization. This article is less than useful, since it has major glaring errors, such as confusing the Internet with the World Wide Web for starters. Another oddity is that it lower-cases those terms, just when I am in the middle of fixing hundreds of articles that use Upper Case Letters All the Time Perhaps to Make things Sound More Important? Although this one uses "web pages" the other issue in many of these is "web site" (which seems proper English) vs the Germanic-style "website" which alas seems common usage.

- For what it's worth, our article is called website, and we have a whole article on Capitalization of "Internet". --BDD (talk) 18:22, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
