Samogon

delete. It is nothing more than moonshine. Wikipedia is not a rus-eng dictionary. Mikkalai 22:11, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
So redirect to moonshine. FreplySpang (talk) 22:38, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect per Freply. Mgm|^(talk) 23:14, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
Redirect and merge content with moonshine. --Asriel86 23:14, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Wikipedia is not an English-Russian dictionary. --Carnildo 23:59, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, foreign dictionary definition. Megan1967 01:14, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Keep alone, very notable part of Russian culture. Could easily be expanded. VfD is not cleanup. We have articles on Kovbasa and Kielbasa even if it's the same thing. Samogon is a cult beverage in Russia and deserves its own article. Grue 18:40, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia will be of no obstacle to spawn "samogon" out of "moonshine" when you will have a decent text for it. Mikkalai 19:17, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
While I agree with Grue, I do not think samogon deserves its own article. A section on samogon in the moonshine article should be quite sufficient. Delete and redirect to moonshine. By the way—kovbasa??? Definitely a VfD candidate.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus europeaus) 18:57, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)
- Do kielbasa or Wurst/Bratwurst taste better? Time to have some kolbasa! Mikkalai 19:14, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to moonshine. Zscout370 21:32, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Transwiki to wiktionary and redirect or keep. Kappa 22:44, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Redirect and merge. It's not just Russian; samohon is a notable cultural artifact of the heavily Ukrainian-settled Manitoba Interlake region. (Similarly, kielbasa should be merged with a more culturally-neutral rewrite for kovbasa.) —Michael Z. 2005-04-14 06:43 Z
Redirect to Moonshine. DmitryKo 12:24, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I just wanted to tell you all that I just transwikied it, in case that will affect anyone's vote. --Dmcdevit 04:59, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
