Comment 1 for bug 110235

It seems to me that the drupal problem is different:

 * There is an apparent misunderstanding of how translations should use projects. Most drupal "projects" are actually translation projects. People creating them think "I am creating a translation project", therefore create a project without realizing the proper thing is to attach themselves to the upstream.

See: https://launchpad.net/drupaltr https://launchpad.net/drupal-ru https://launchpad.net/drupal-project https://launchpad.net/drupal-tr https://launchpad.net/drupal-5.0-ru https://launchpad.net/drupal-ru-4.7-core https://launchpad.net/drupal5euskara https://launchpad.net/drupal-il https://launchpad.net/4.7

I do not believe that duplicate checking on project registration would help, because I believe those users have deliberately created multiple projects. It seems to me the issue is more of misunderstanding what is the purpose of a project, and how to collaborate on translations using Launchpad.

 * A couple of drupal-related projects seem to be legitimate separate objects: https://launchpad.net/drupal https://launchpad.net/drupal-signup

 * One case looks like a genuine unintentional duplicate: https://beta.launchpad.net/drupal-cms
