 * Keep. Can't see any good reason to delete and nominator hasn't specified any reason except a subjective assessment. -- Necrothesp (talk) 12:45, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
 * comment:I don't know. It is a Greek jargon term. It could belong to a lexicon, a dictionary. But then .. a dictionary of which language? You can of course find it in a standard Greek dictionary (e.g. here), as you can find the corresponding Italian term, for example, bustarella. But it doesn't seem to be a notable phenomenon lets say "behind the term", described by the term, pertaining to Greeks in particular, as for example the mafia for Italians, in order to justify an encyclopedia entry. I think it is not an English term, in the sense that the mafia or the Yakuza are English terms, because there are not any reliable sources on the subject of "fakelaki" in English. At least I couldnt find any. The English language wikipedia entry seems to be Original--Vanakaris (talk) 09:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree with Vanakaris. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. The article is WP:OR.  Nipson anomhmata   (Talk) 16:05, 2 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment. If this is kept it should be moved to something like Corruption in Greece, because I can't find any evidence that the Greek name is commonly used in English. I would also add that the article as it stands doesn't seem to describe anything peculiar to Greece, but simply normal practice in much of the world. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:03, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete and move whatever can be salvaged to bribery or a new article titled Corruption in Greece.-- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 14:15, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article well established in 3 other languages.--Kozuch (talk) 18:02, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep as per Kozuch. Especially the German version is well referenced, proving the notability. The English article should be brought up to that standard. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 14:29, 7 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
