[edit] Heute gestohlen, morgen in Polen

Should not have its own entry, similar to all other sayings in all other languages. If anything, merge with Anti-Polonism if the content is considered relevant enough to be kept. Groeck 22:14, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

  1. There are German phrases which have their own article, such as Ich bin ein Berliner. (But I am not claiming that this particular phrase should be kept.)
  2. It is hard to be neutral when looking at the contributions of the creator of Heute gestohlen, morgen in Polen, which include recent vandalism to the articles on Poland] and on the Polish language. Of course we don't know that this was the same user. --Austrian 22:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

• Agreed, though your example is really a quote, not a proverb or saying. To bring this in context, the saying discussed here would be somewhat equivalent to the American The only good indian is a dead indian, only that it is much less known (with 1,400 Google hits vs. 11,400 for the American proverb). Is an article for the American proverb warranted ? If so, it might be warranted to keep this one, and to create an entry for the saying about indians as well. Groeck 01:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• We do have French phrases and proverbs, such as Agent provocateur or Honi soit qui mal y pense, but unlike "heute gestohlen", they are (ocasionally) actually used in English. --Austrian 09:19, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete and see above Afd on mis-spelled article on the same phrase. Jkelly 22:41, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

  You mean Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Heute_verstohlen,_Morgen_in_Polen; that was a different issue, it was pure nonsense. This one is just offensive, not nonsense. --Austrian 09:19, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

• Delete as with mispelled version. WCFrancis 01:25, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nonnotable insult. I've never heard it, although I live in Germany not too far from Poland. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 05:55, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

  Me neither, but Google does. --Austrian 09:19, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
