Category:Soviet people
Move (to Category:Russian people) or Delete this category and its seven subcategories as it's a duplicate of Category:Russian people. IZAK 10:28, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose. I know the USSR isn't around anymore, but isn't this similar to saying delete "People of the USA" because "People of New Jersey" exists?  Not all Soviets are Russians.  -Kbdank71 16:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose Where would all the non-Russian Soviets go? And millions of Russians throughout history were never in the Soviet Union.  &mdash;Michael Z. 2005-03-8 17:19 Z 
 * Oppose We still keep Roman people, for example, even though the Roman Empire/Republic are long gone. --VivaEmilyDavies 22:10, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Oppose "duplicate of Category:Russian people"? I can think of people in 14 former-Soviet, non-Russian countries that might disagree with you there! And also a lot of non-Soviet Russians, for that matter. Grutness|hello? [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 23:52, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
