OR, and a very bad OR. Author does not even seem to know what techno music stands for, as he describes Russian pop instead. The only artist mentioned is tATu, which is far from being a "techno" band. The category also should be deleted: not a single techno artist is listed there; instead, it includes a wild mashup of teen pop, various electronic and even rock acts. The Russian dance music page is a copy of Russian techno, and though its name is more appropriate, it is still an OR without sources.

According to Last.fm, Russia has some obscure minimal techno artists, but the article is certainly not about them, and I doubt they're notable enough to have an article on their own. An article on Russian electronic music in general would be great to do (from 60's and Eduard Artemyev to modern era), but "Russian techno" is not a worthy basis to start from.Garret Beaumain (talk) 17:54, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete I'm unable to find WP:RS in a language that I read. There are no interwiki links to the languages this community is likely to speak. There is only one reference. Stuartyeates (talk) 21:26, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
