[edit] Federal cities of Russia

Uninformative. A list that contains only two entries. The relevant information is already in Federal subjects of Russia. - Sikon 18:28, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

• Oppose. Just because it's uninformative does not mean it should be lazily deleted. The potential for expansion is enourmous, which is why this article was created separately in the first place.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:30, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Try as hard as you can, I don't think anything can be said on the subject besides "The federal cities of Russia are Moscow and St. Petersburg". - Sikon 18:32, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
    • The very least that can be explained is what federal cities are in the first place, why and how they are not like other 1,106 cities and towns of the Russian Federation, political and economic reasons behind this special status, and a bit of history.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional Keep as an expandable subject especially if the other information is added. Ratherhaveaheart 19:31, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but I would like to see some expansion before I'm fully convinced. Note the plethora of interwiki links though. Punkmorten 21:40, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Anything with interwiki links should be handled with extra care. That usually means the subject is notable.--Pan Gerwazy 22:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but redirect to Federal subjects of Russia until more substantial content is included e.g. how they are different from other types of subdivisions, their origins, etc. --Polaron | Talk 22:47, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep useful geographic/political information. Carlossuarez46 03:47, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
