[edit] GKO

Gibberish. MicroFeet 18:54, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Weak Transwiki as a dicdef transliteration of a Russian term. After all, "Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti" is also apparent gibberish, but is encyclopaedic as KGB. Whether this particular transliteration is notable in any way, though, I doubt! Tonywalton 19:22, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep following Irpen's expansion Tonywalton  | Talk 11:46, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - such a term indeed exists, but it's not among commonly used abbreviations, and there's no encyclopedic value to that. Non-notable term. Solver 21:58, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep after expansion. Solver 23:34, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• Extend - there was quite an interesting story besides GKO that lead to August 1998 financial crash in Russia (so called default). GKO was the official name of these papers then they were traded on the west abakharev 05:27, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep and expand further as per above. GKO-story immortalized the accronym. --Irpen 06:04, August 16, 2005 (UTC)
• keep - the term is very notable and informative. --Ghirlandajo 09:43, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep after expansion. Specific historical value. Although at the moment of nomination it was indeed pitiful. 19:10, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
  • (the vote above was by user:Mikkalai who forgot to sign)
• keep, how ironical, such catastrophe is not known [1] –Gnomz⁰⁰⁷(?) 04:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep. The abbreviation was also used for the State Committee for Defense, presided over by Stalin. It was the collective supreme commanding body of the USSR government during WWII and issued many direct orders to the RKKA. --DmitryKo 15:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
