If such large underground system really existed, there'd probably be much more sources to rely on. Maybe there were plans to build a secret underground network, but that it actually was built and no information leaked out seems totally implausible. Grue 08:24, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Well that presentely all information that does exist is based on rumours for exactly that reason. Nevertheless the speculation is open to everybody. --Kuban Cossack 11:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Considering the fact that this is supposed to be a secret network used solely for government purposes by the KGB, etc, I'm not sure how exactly there are supposed to be more sources. Ever hear of the secret service? lensovet 21:08, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

But Wikipedia articles must have sources. All this article contains is rumors, and there are no sourced facts. The very existance of the topic cannot be proven, yet the article tells the reader that Metro 2 exists as a fact. At the very least the article must make clear that the whole thing is a rumor.

It is a rumour that is based on speculation, yet there are separate sourced pieces of "suggesting" evidence, which is indeed sourced. I shall have a more closer look into this article at a latter date. --Kuban Cossack 23:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

If you look on the main article page, you can follow a link that contains scans from the CIA docs. Decide for yourself as to how valid that intelligence info is. —lensovet–talk – 01:48, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
