256 - C done, save one at PROD. Afraid I'll be afk at my next location in Montana, perhaps for as much as 5-6 days. Keep up the good fight! --joe decker ^{talk to me} 03:56, 17 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

96 - P cleared save for deletion-bound.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 14:28, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
82 - G down, and I think sourcing via a link in Azerbaijani might actually be a new one for me. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 21:59, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
77 - J cleaned out. Azerbaijani, nice! You know you've reached the outer limits when you find languages that Google doesn't translate yet, like Bosnian.--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 23:01, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, I think I've had some luck treating Bosnian as Serbian/Croatian in Google Translate. But certainly Bangledeshi was a trick. Google, get moving! --joe decker ^{talk to me} 06:15, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

75 - 2 more to get rid of V--Milowent • ^talkblp-r 23:15, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

45 - Us last now at deletion. With 23 at deletion, presumably 22 remain. --joe decker ^{talk to me} 17:22, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
31 - 21 = 10 left. The-Pope (talk) 04:00, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
23 - 20 at deletion, -1 at copyright processing, leaves only Homeyra and Sheikh Mahmud Bin Abdul Kareem. Another pair of eyes on each would be appreciated. In the first case, the name collisions problem for non-English sources is perhaps insurmountable. In the second, I'm almost wondering if it's a hoax, nobody with a similar name appears on Forbes' list of billionaires, nor is there a similar name on the board of Emirates Telecommunications Corporation, which is what Al-Kareem redirects to. That could be a merger or he could have stepped down, of course, but I'm kinda surprised I haven't found anything. --joe decker^{talk to me} 21:57, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- That Al-Kareem is odd, checking the history it has lots of weblinks in the creation edit but is seems all of them dead or not containing enough to verify the name. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 00:14, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Some major correlation between this and this. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 00:35, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - I've sent the Sheikh to AfD. Hut 8.5 15:19, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
      - And I've prodded Homeyra, as I couldn't find any coverage of her. Possible close paraphrasing issue with the archived personal website too. No issues with recreation or deprodding if sources can be found - but unless someone finds on in Farsi or a different spelling of her name, I doubt we've missed anything. So, onto August I reckon. I like the "change one number only" in the date= section! The-Pope (talk) 16:02, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        I've deprodded Homeyra, not because I have a good ref but it deserves a good look with 24 albums a music page on a news site and info likely to be in Iranian c1970. Regards, SunCreator ^(talk) 16:39, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
        Any luck? --joe decker ^{talk to me} 05:08, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
