Soviet propaganda during World War II

 * del original research; an essay rather than an encyclopedic article. the topic is valid, but broad and the current article is not salvageable. mikka (t) 07:37, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup. I am sure that a feature article could be made from this although much work remains to be done. The article quotes from articles in Pravda and other sources although sources are not cited. Secondary sources would also be useful. It does not seem to be original research to me though more work is needed. Capitalistroadster 08:00, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep, and concur that some work is necessary. If I had the time... Denni &#9775; 02:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, but some improving is needed. May be useful for some researchers and those who are interested. Brandmeister 18:47, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Worthwhile cleaning up though.--Pharos 08:34, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Strong keep - may need clean up but a fascinating topic nonetheless. However, I would like to see parallel articles for other major combatants in the war. The Germans, Japanese, Americans, British, and Chinese, would have had equivalents. (I'm thinking particularly of the "Walls have Ears" British poster for example). --MacRusgail 17:48, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Comment. I agree, that could make a very interesting series of articles.--Pharos 18:14, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Agreed, strong keep and cleanup. This is an important topic in both art history and political history.  I'm surprised there isn't already an article series about WWII propaganda.  -Seth Mahoney 18:17, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep and Clean up, at least the author of this article has tried to write about this important topic rather than leave it empty. Piecraft 15:08, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and cleanup per Capitalistroadster. --Andylkl (talk) 15:57, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

I am absolutely amazed how the community turns the blind eye onto something that it really likes. '''The article as 100% original research. Period. The cleanup would amount to its total deletion, with the exception of quotations, since all discource is nonverifiable'''. mikka (t) 16:44, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
