Response to the suggested deletion[edit]
Though the article's current content is not encyclopedic, I think such a title is fine here. Gabrovo is truly known for its humour. Of course, the picture is unrelated, there is no real "privilege" of being born there (apart from local pride), and the introduction is inappropriately worded — the "economic skills" are just that people tend to appear as misers in local folklore. I would prefer a major rewrite and I oppose deletion. --Cameltrader 09:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
Re-suggested for deletion[edit]
The original contributor added his sources and removed the deletion nomination. Yet, he didn't neutralize the content, neither did he remove the unrelated image or rework the first paragraph, so I mark the article for deletion again. --Cameltrader 13:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
answer[edit]
The article does not disparage people of Gabrovo. They are famous for their rough jokes and irony. The picture is related to the sour taste in one's mouth after having a 'shot of gabrovo jokes'. It is a weir topic I know, but represent real people, who DO NOT get offended by being tagged Gabrovians! --Adrianski
De-proding[edit]
I was actually considering nominating it for db-attack, as I thought it might be disparaging. I didn't because I wasn't sure. Jews are considered "miserly" in American humor and "Polish jokes" is just a redirect to Joke. No matter what, I think the article needs a major rewrite; it's not clear what the article is referring to, but it does appear to be legitimate and referenced. Perhaps merging into Gabrovo? eaolson 14:17, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
RE[edit]
Yes, it merges perfectly well with Gabrovo culture, habits and traditions! Adrianski
Merging jokes and sayings[edit]
I suggest that the jokes and sayings sections be merged, there is no actual difference between them. And here's another one I've heard of: They cut matches in halves, so that they can use them twice :) --Cameltrader 10:36, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
It would be interesting to read which of them are true. --Cameltrader 10:38, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
