Bucharest snobbery
POV title, nonsensical and not referenced content, I can't see how it would develop into an encyclopedic article. bogdan 17:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Strong keep if properly sourced and attributed. Alexander 007 17:30, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. What remains will find a place elsewhere. There is the possibility that an article along these lines may return in the future. Alexander 007 08:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete completely nonsense article, unreferenced and POV. The whole article was made up out of frustration by a user well kown for his radical atitudes. Mihai -talk 17:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * This is not the type of article you speedily delete. The fact is, the snobbery of many Bucharestians is a well-known thing. It is an inter-cultural phenomenon to be documented, but presented in NPOV with sources. Alexander 007 17:56, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, the idiocy of George W. Bush is a "well-known thing". I don't think an article named George W. Bush idiocy would last long, even though it may be "well documented, presented in NPOV and with sources". bogdan 17:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Bogdan, I didn't think the article would bother you that much. I mean, you're not a snob! ;))))))))) ;)))))) --Candide, or Optimism 23:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The title can be changed: "Perceived Bucharest snobbery". Think of something, Candide. The George W. Bush analogy is imprecise, as that involves an individual. Straw-man. Alexander 007 18:05, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * "Perceived US Presidential idiocy" is better? It does not involved one individual, but all the US presidents. :-) bogdan 18:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I still think the analogy is improper, because we know who each individual U.S. president was; but here, it is a faceless, nameless mass---aside from some specific examples which may be brought forward. Alexander 007 18:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * At the very least, this should be covered somewhere in Wikipedia, once the sources are brought forward, if not in this specific article. Maybe in Culture of Romania or something. Alexander 007 18:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * a title like Bad Wallachians who want Moldavians to suffer would be more accurate for the current content of the article Anonimu 18:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, screw this article. I think what remains can be discussed in Culture of Romania. The common perception of Bucharestian snobbery is an actual thing, and I don't like snobs from Bucharest, baby. Alexander 007 18:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete will never satisfy NPOV in any way. (ESkog)(Talk) 17:59, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Title is inherent POV.  If anything can be documented/salvaged, put it in Bucharest.  --King of All the Franks 18:00, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete no sources - if there are verifiable reliable sources for it, a short mention might be reasonable in Bucharest. CDC (talk) 18:18, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete POV. No references. Anonimu 18:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete original research --Ghirla | talk 18:48, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete A POV-pushing article, like the title signalises. The wider topic of the relationship between Bucuresti and the rest of Romania could be a part of the main Bucuresti article, if other users feel that it's so important to mention this. Anclation 19:01, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete: wrong title etc. Some bits of history may be salvageable by a knowledgeable person. Pavel Vozenilek 21:10, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete irredeemably POV in concept and execution. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px| ]] AfD? 21:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete as above. I agree with Pavel Vozenilek that part of it might make an acceptable sentence or at most a paragraph in the Bucharest article. --kingboyk 22:46, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete POV. --Vlad 22:58, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete it's POV and I don't know how it could be fixed. --Thunk 23:06, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Extremely strong keep!!! --Candide, or Optimism 23:12, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Just pointing out that 'Candide, or Optimism' is the article's original author, User:Anittas. FeloniousMonk 02:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete Original research. FeloniousMonk 02:18, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Speedy delete, part of the whole Moldovan nonsense. User:Zoe|(talk) 03:22, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or speedy delete as per nominator; nonsense. Can&#39;t sleep, clown will eat me 03:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete or speedy delete. OR and POV fork. The topic, if any sources can be found for it, should be discussed in the Bucharest article. -- Nikodemos (f.k.a. Mihnea) 08:42, 19 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete - the article talks about a phenomenon that it very subjective. Such discussions - of folkrolic-like attitudes of certain people from certain cities, can never be verified by sources and don't really belong at Wikipedia because every person has a different point of view on the issue.
