Russian political jokes

Wikipedia is not a jokebook, nor A place to gather funny content, and this article does not satisfy The notability guidelines. Before commenting or voting on this proposal, please see What Wikipedia is not.

Keep but trim. There's enough sourcing here to have an article on the topic. It just shouldn't be purely a collection of jokes. Bfigura ^(talk) 23:12, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Concur - keep The subject of jokes as subversive political action in a dictatorship seems a perfectly encyclopedic subject. More political science and less jokes is all that's needed. MadScot (talk) 00:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep a major political topic. I see nothing wrong with some examples a part of the article, either. DGG (talk) 01:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep A perusal of Hammer and tickle gives you a good idea of why this is an encyclopedic topic. Article needs to be cleaned up tho. Protonk (talk) 02:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep largely per Bfigura, but also DGG's notes about this being a major political topic. X MarX the Spot (talk) 08:25, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep perhaps even snow this. This is clearly a notable subject and AFD is not a device for determining article content. By the way, why do secret policemen go round in 3s? One to read, one to write and one to watch the two intellectuals. Boom Boom. Spartaz ^Humbug! 09:37, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I found another article called Russian Jokes. I think this article should be merged with it. --Fixman_{(Praise me)No animals were harmed with this edit, but they will be if you undo it} —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:13, 25 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]

That doesn't need an AFD to engineer. Spartaz ^Humbug! 15:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Russian humor, especially during the Soviet era, is a notable part of the culture and political landscape of those times, and has been remarked upon in several political science and history books I've read. Wasted Time R (talk) 22:09, 25 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
