Heute verstohlen, Morgen in Polen
dicdef; looks like insult page, no background supporting notability, well, no background at all. WCFrancis 01:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete: Quotes an ethnic slur then implies that it's true. Biased and hateful. &mdash; C Maylett 02:38, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. If there is a wiki for sayings, move it there, because it is a saying in Germany. &spades; DanMS 04:39, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, nonnotable ethnic slur. I live in Berlin, not too far from Poland, and I've never heard this saying. I'm not even positive "verstohlen" is a word in German (I'd have said "gestohlen", but I'm not a native speaker). --Angr/undefined 07:50, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Löschen, aber schnell! &mdash; J I P | Talk 12:20, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Note: I've just reverted a blanking of this afd page by 205.181.102.120. - Mgm|(talk) 13:23, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete this is really from Heute gestohlen, morgen in Polen which a derogatory and insulting saying in German. Groeck 16:19, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the confirmation. By the way, what do you suppose verstohlen would mean? From what I understand of German, the prefix ver- always means something nasty. For example raten: advice, verraten: deceive, sagen: say, versagen: fail, bieten: offer, verbieten: forbid. Would verstohlen mean "failed to steal"? &mdash; J I P | Talk 17:05, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Kaufen = buy, verkaufen = sell. I don't know if ver- is negative, but I do know that zer- is. Punkmorten 18:06, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * verstohlen is German for sneaky or stealthy in a somewhat negative sense. It does not make any sense in the given context. Groeck 22:58, 22 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Delete - offensive rubbish CLW 16:27, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * delete as nonsense. See also Heute gestohlen, morgen in Polen which at least makes sense.   There is no verb *verstehlen of which verstohlen would be a past participle; verstohlen is an adjective and means "stealthy"/"stealthily", or something similar (furtive, surrepetitious  etc).  (Also morgen is spelled incorrectly; Morgen= morning, morgen = tomorrow. -- Austrian 20:10, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete per Angr and DanMS.  Journalist C./ Holla @ me! 
 * Creator is on a campaign of derogatory vandalism on Polish sites. WCFrancis 01:21, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Polish-German relations in WP are already too tense to have articles like this. Shauri 23:07, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
