List of Ukrainian politicians and statesmen closely associated with President L. Kuchma[edit]

There are POV concerns inherent with this article. There is a difficulty as to defining a "cut-off" as to what level of dealins with Mr Kuchma is required to constitute "closely associated" and eg, what counts as "professional" dealings, and what would be "conflict-of-interest".Blnguyen | BLabberiNg 01:45, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Perhaps the article could be retitled "List of Ukrainian politicians" and include Kuchma's opponents as well. This would solve the POV concerns quite nicely. Alternatively, call it "List of Ukrainian politicians after 1990". --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 01:54, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into new article List of Ukrainian politicians. —dima/s-ko/ 03:35, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - hard to maintain, partly violates WP:POV. --Ineffable3000 03:32, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Either delete or merge into Leonid Kuchma. After all, if someone is closely associated with Kuchma, they ought to be mentioned in Kuchma's article if they are important enough to discuss in Wikipedia. --Metropolitan90 03:38, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Could those who vote delete POV, please point out any POV? I don't seem to find any. —dima/s-ko/ 03:39, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merge per Metropolitan. Atlantic Gateways 03:44, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This is impossible to validate thouse claims or make list complete. Usualy people try to hide their connections and Melnychenko Cassette Scandal clearly reveal that actualy a lot of people were using Kuchma system for their own benefits. --TAG 11:09, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. --KPbIC 19:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. What defines a "close association" is POV. -AED 07:22, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If merge, than only to Leonid Kuchma (per Metropolitan). Can you imagine a List of Ukrainian politicians given that Ukraine has 48 millions of polulation, over 150 political parties and 450-seats parliament? That list would be a maintaining nightmare worst than List of Ukrainians. By the way, cited info shouldn't be called "POV". (Author of the article) Ukrained 20:05, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. A nominal scan by anyone who follows Ukrainian politics would show that these individuals are/were closely affiliated to former president Kuchma. --Riurik ^(discuss) 06:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Riurik Odessaukrain 15:28, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Definetely keep the info but merge it to Kuchma and after that delete that strangely named redirect. But only after someone gets time to merge. Not just delete. --Irpen 18:16, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete POV, unsouced and poorly defined.--Peta 04:47, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
