I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about. If you mean to get
rid of un-maintained translated (to whatever language) articles IN the
english wiki: Certainly go for it! BUT I hope you don't mean to get
rid of localized wikis all together.

+1. While doing the German Wiki Reviewing, we encouraged German
Reviewers to push German content not available in the English instance
into it. Thus I'm actually working hard on a two way street
translating from English to German and the other way around atm.
Getting rid of language wikis (I'm pretty sure that's not your desire)
is a absolute no-go. Btw, I second what Henne said in response to this
email previously.

Best,
R
