History of the guillotine in Russia

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

The Russia article is a spoof article. All edits by creator of this article is nonsense or adding false information to articles. The reference given, "G.P. Maximoff, The Guillotine at Work", certainly exists, but doesn't mention literal guillotines.

 * Delete This site has no mention of guillotines in Russia. A google search for Soviet Guillotine finds nothing to say the Soviets ever used it. And "installed by the French after the Napoleonic wars" is clearly absurd - the French were defeated in Russia. Totnesmartin 20:01, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as hoax, ensure that user is closely watched. --Dhartung | Talk 20:06, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete obvious hoax created by vandalism-only account. Guillotine was never used in Russia. --Henrik Ebeltoft 02:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - spoof article. There are two redirects pointing to this article : History of the guillotine in Ukraine and History of the guillotine in Belarus. -- ArglebargleIV 15:48, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
