This article is original research and slight POV. As far as I know urla is Latvian ethnic slur, which simply stands for Russian, however recently some users of this term have tried to clasify charesterics of urla and part of this research has been published in wikipedia, and because this is derogatory term, and many contributors are users of this term (unfortunately they also are new to wikipedia and their additions tend to be vandalistic) this tends to be POV. Additionaly - on Latvian Wikipedia this article has been deleted ten times unecyclopedic -- Xil/talk 17:25, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That seems that an extremely specific neologism. Why only people aged 17 to 30? Certainly, not WP:NPOV in the state it's in at the moment. It seems a bit like Chav, but that article is extremely well sourced and neutral. Delete barring reliable sources and more neutral re-write. --kateshortforbob 19:44, 30 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- In its present form, the article is sub-standard, POV, and lacking in sources. No reliable evidence is provided citing this derogatory slang term's use in the manner ascribed to it in the article, and thus appears to be in flagrant breach of WP:NOR. I sincerely doubt if a re-write will remedy this. Delete. — Zalktis 06:49, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
