Russian stereotypes
Unreferenced original research `'mikka 23:39, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - Topic might be suitable for inclusion if it had references, but it has none. Also half the article is just definitions of subjects handled much better in their own articles. &mdash;Dgiest c 23:45, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Russia-related deletions.   -- SkierRMH 01:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. --MaNeMeBasat 05:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. As it stands, it's both unreferenced and original research. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOR unless valid references can be provided (not referencing the factual statements contained in the article--e.g., "A balalayka is a traditional Russian stringed instrument."--but that these are indeed stereotypes). The topic deserves an article, I think, but this one doesn't pass WP:NOR or WP:V.  Still, interesting article.  Black Falcon 21:15, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. An encyclopedic article could be written on the topic, but this isn't it.  &mdash;Cel  ithemis  21:21, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Pure garbage. Pavel Vozenilek 02:28, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Looks really funny. Indeed, these are very common and at least partially wrong stereotypes about Russians. One could find some references if time allows.Biophys 23:57, 9 February 2007 (UTC) So, I included one reference - just for starters. People, do not you have sense of humor? If you allow me, I could develop this article a little.Biophys 00:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * This is topic for Uncyclopedia or similar sites. Pavel Vozenilek 12:39, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong delete Garbage inciting ethnic hatred. Should we create US stereotypes based on Lyndie England from Abu Graib? Totally fascism based on someone's original research.Vlad fedorov 05:22, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Who incites ethnic hatred? Kalashnikov, Pushkin, or Borsh? By the way, just on the topic (Russian) (see :

Тазиком Союз накрылся -

Нету на земле его!..

Но макетик сохранился

В голове Тулеева.

Составляли наш портрет -

Водка, kazachok, балет!..

 * You, Biophys is publishing texts from blog La Russophobe in Wikipedia and you are asking who is inciting ethnic hatred? Russian stereotypes are original research and depending on contributor could be damaging and defamatory.Vlad fedorov 05:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
