Contrary to the snide response of Gerard, this is a real issue. Articles which pass muster in one language should not be blocked in another one.
Cultures differ, what is not notable in one culture is a serious offense in another.
Since when are the different language Wikipedias supposed to defend nationalistic or cultural norms?
You seem to imply that the NPOV varies from language to language.
And here I was all this time thinking that it's a neutral point of view, not a culturally biased point of view.
We really need the single user login.
There is no way we can impose European culture on the rest of the world. I live it, but...
