List of Soviet holidays

List of Soviet holidays (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

This is a list which contains two entries. Withdraw per rewrite. Salad Days 00:32, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, list of holidays is exactly that article for encyclopedia. Two entries = stub, not removal. ≈Tulkolahten≈^≈talk≈ 00:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• In Soviet Russia, holidays celebrate YOU!!! Delete unless it's expanded by the end of this AfD. ~ trialsanderrors 00:55, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename: Expanded by copy-paste Soviet Union#Holidays which is already complete (though I didn't see a reference). But it should be Public holidays in the Soviet Union to conform with other such lists (which can be found in Category:Public holidays by country). cab 00:58, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • So are there 30 holidays as this article claims or 8, as Soviet Union#Holidays lists? If the former, expand still, if the latter, redirect. ~ trialsanderrors 01:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: How many places do we need this information? Salad Days 01:02, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Category:Public holidays by country is pretty much fully populated, and I'd oppose deletion of any of those too. You want to AfD all of them? cab 01:10, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not if the information isn't redundant. As you pointed out, Soviet Union#Holidays contains the information already, in addition to the article Public holidays in Russia. Having this information in three places seems silly. Salad Days 01:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Russia is not the Soviet Union, and Public holidays in Russia in fact does not discuss holidays which were abandoned after the Soviet period such as USSR Constitution Day. Further some public holidays from the Soviet period were downgraded to "observances" in Russia and other post-Soviet states. Anyway as per Wikipedia:Summary style, Public holidays in the Soviet Union can be further developed, and leave just the list at Soviet Union#Holidays. cab 01:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Thanks for improving the article. Salad Days 01:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename per CaliforniaAliABaba, the article has useful and notable information in it. It also needs to be sourced, however. Tarinth 01:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Conditional Keep with rename, redirect, and/or merge. Useful, encyclopedic, verifiable information that needs to be condensed, and sourced. No reason to call for a delete just yet, but an overhaul is needed. Article(s) should be tagged for cleanup. -- wtfunkymonkey 02:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - and WP:cleanup if the holidays are not as many as 30. Tonytypoon 02:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
