Party of crooks and thieves
[edit]... that Russia is ruled by the "party of crooks and thieves"?

- I agree with Hawkeye. The party is not called the "party of crooks and thieves." That is derogatory name that a blogger gave to the political party led by Vladimir Putin. Even if true, Wikipedia rules state: "Articles and hooks that focus unduly on negative aspects of living individuals or promote one side of an ongoing dispute should be avoided." This hook, calling Putin and the other leaders of his party "crooks and thieves", plainly violates that rule. Cbl62 (talk) 17:26, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
- ALT1 ... that the ruling party of Russia is often called the "party of crooks and thieves" '?
- The blurbs so far seem to be in gross breach of WP:WEASEL, and it seems pretty unavoidable if that title is to be made as "interesting" as possible. -- Ohc ¡digame!¿que pasa? 08:09, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- Is the term really notable enough to even have a separate article? Isn't a redirect a proper way to include it in an encyclopedia with a few lines written in the main article of United Russia? It definitely is a sensational term and hence is kinda popular. But that seems to be all about it. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 08:33, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
- That's all it gets on the Russian language Wikipedia article on the party. Партия жуликов и воров is a redirect over there. Hawkeye7 (talk) 11:01, 22 July 2013 (UTC)
