[edit] Comrade Wolf

Delete this is an article about a character in some Russian jokes (clearly a very minor one, b/c I have never heard of him) who was apparently mentioned once by Putin. Characters in Russian jokes are not verifiable by google etc. The basic idea here is that this is profoundly NN, indiscriminate, and probably unencyclopedic.- CrazyRussian talk/email 13:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the character himself is probably non-notable but the joke is important given the wide coverage of Putin's reference to it. Lots of headlines "Putin calls U.S. 'Comrade Wolf'" and an article like this is necessary to explain the context. Eluchil404 15:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
  • So mention it in the Putin article! - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:43, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• SMerge with Putin. I agree with Crz, doesn't deserve it own article, I woundn't be adverse to deleting it outright either. --Eivind^t@c 22:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Vladimir Putin, per above. --DaveG12345 01:19, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
• Merge with Vladimir Putin--Konstable 02:49, 27 June 2006 (UTC)
