WP:NOTQUOTE #2; the article presently does what Wikiquote is there for: q:Serbian proverbs. –Vipz (talk) 07:51, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The page is quite old, being only a month older than Wikiquote itself. I would support a cross-wiki merge to Wikiquote; the cited content on EnWiki seems to work fine there, and it would be wise to keep the attribution history for reasons of copyright. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 16:59, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Red-tailed hawk: what kind of a cross-wiki merge are you supporting? To soft-redirect the article to Wikiquote's article + add a tag on its talk page telling it was copied from Wikipedia? –Vipz (talk) 17:31, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I have in mind, yes. This would preserve the public page histories (i.e. the attribution history) for the authors of the Wikipedia article, while also properly placing the quote content on Wikiquote rather than Wikipedia. It's an application of WP:COPYWITHIN to moving content across wikis. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:41, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Red-tailed hawk: yeah, just wanted to make sure we're thinking of the same thing. Not some sort of page-moving across different MediaWiki projects (which I wish was possible, though :P). –Vipz (talk) 17:46, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is a way to move pages across wikis (i.e. transwiki), but seeing as the target of the would-be-move already exists on Wikiquote, I don't see a good reason to actually transwiki this. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 17:48, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe it could be transwikied to a page like q:Proverbs from Serbia, which then redirects to q:Serbian proverbs, much like Template:Infobox McDonald's was renamed to McDonald's company upon merging its contents into McDonald's. -BRAINULATOR9 (TALK) 18:26, 12 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as out of project scope, with the proviso that it can be undeleted for the benefit of anyone who wants to undertake the complicated crosswiki merger above. Sandstein 09:24, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
