Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Proto-Ukrainians
As the mastermind behind Wikipedia:Fringe_theories/Noticeboard I don't dispute that the idea of proto-Ukrainianism is a fringe theory, but the article explicitly qualifies it as such. It does not involve any fringecruft-pushing. This bad-faith nomination of an elaborately referenced text was http://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9E%D0%B1%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8F_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D1%83%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%87%D0%B0:Yakudza#Proto-Ukrainians  engineered from Ukrainian Wikipedia after they failed to have the equivalent Russian Wikipedia page deleted. The nationalist comments above fail to impress me, as does http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Portal%3AUkraine%2FNew_article_announcements&diff=148479901&oldid=148431325 incivil campaigning in English Wikipedia. As per , I expect more votes from accounts based in Ukrainian Wikipedia, but I also expect the closing admin to reflect that this is not a vote and that only the arguments do matter
