[edit] Kaczism

This article was speedied as "recreation of deleted content" but it isn't the case. The previous, speedily deleted version was:

Kaczism-a term connected with Lech Kaczynski who is a Polish politician and the president of the city of Warsaw,Poland; strongly Catholic and homofobic,didn`t let to organise a gay&lesbian parade in Warsaw saying it`d be a parade of perverts and saying that if his part takes control it`ll be a "dark night for gay people".

So the word Kaczism describes the typically Catholic Polish attitude towards gay people.

which doesn't have much in common with the current version. The slogan is really used in Poland.

• Keep if what you say is true. Royboycrashfan 20:54, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, recentism. Quip made up by a member of parliament doesn't generate encyclopedical term, fortunately. If the word will be still used after the current president leaves his office it will be notable. The Polish article suffers from constant political disputes and survived VfD cca 50:50, the Czech version is verbatim copy of the Polish one. Reaganism, Clintonism, etc articles do not exists and Kaczyński's brothers are even less likely to be a motive for seriously accepted politological term. Pavel Vozenilek 23:46, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
• Conditional Keep that at least one reference is added where this slogan is used. If Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy merits an article, so does this if it is an actually famous political phrase. Staxringold 00:04, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I've added some external links (in Polish). The interview actually even references the Polish Wikipedia article about kaczism :). Ausir 00:11, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• Comment I know my vote won't count (myself being an anon), but if Bushism is a valid Wikipedia article, why shouldn't be Kaczism?
  • Don't Forget Poland -- GWO

Well, the bushism is IMHO quite questionable (will anyone remember it in 10 years?). If this approach is taken to extreme articles about -isms for every current president/prime minister/controversial politician would mushroom here, with associated wars and other fun. Instead of sopaboxing time should be spent on article improvement, e.g. Jarosław Kaczyński is low quality stub. Pavel Vozenilek 13:40, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete we'll see after few years (historic reason). Don't push daily policy in encyclopedia. --MaNeMeBasat 07:31, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Of course this should be kept. Polish political terms are just as meaningful as their American or Australian counterparts. -- JJay 12:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

• Strong keep - I can vouch for the fact that it's a real term. Glad the first version of the article was killed off, though. ProhibitOnions 22:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC)
