Dessiatina

Transwikied dictionary definition. TexasAndroid (talk) 14:47, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Obsolete Russian units of measurement, although that article perhaps should move to a less POV title such as traditional Russian units of measurement; the only reason why any of these traditional measures are obsolete is because of the bureaucratic imposition of high modernism under Soviet communism. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:15, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There's no reason why this subject should be considered any less encyclopedic that hectare or acre. The reason why it became obsolete is encyclopedic information that can go into the article. Merging/redirection can be considered by discussion on the talk page - deletion would prevent that. Phil Bridger (talk) 23:54, 19 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep hmm, assuming that the author isn't making words up (as there isn't an ounce of verifiability in the article) the subject is keepable but still needs MASSIVE wikification.--Sallicio ^{$\color {Red}\oplus$} 20:09, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
