- Soviet university (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View log)
No such term. Naive and chaotic original research. See opinions in Talk:Education in the Soviet Union#Object to the merge. `'юзырь:mikka 04:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Education in the Soviet Union. One article has strongly pro-Soviet bias the other has stronly anti-Soviet bias, together they should be about right. There is no such term as Soviet University - the proper term would be University education in Soviet Union or Tertiary education in Soviet Union that is the main topic of the Education in the Soviet Union anyway Alex Bakharev 05:31, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's a logical fallacy to argue that the truth necessarily lies between two 'extremes'. Sometimes one is right and the other wrong. The earth is round, it is not flat. An oval would not be a rational compromise. 124.183.234.246 06:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Most of the facts in both articles are either referenced or public knowledge, they are just chosen selectively, that is why the articles are biased Alex Bakharev 06:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Alex, You probably didn't read the article at all. it is not about education in Soviet Union. It is an attempt to write an essay about the education in the whole Soviet bloc, with mish-mash of other topics.And writes crazy things, too: "In Polish universities 1981-1989 STASI run an independent network of informers". `'юзырь:mikka 06:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I read it when it started, have not reread it recently. The garbage could be removed. Non-USSR related referenced material should be merged to the relevant articles (like Education in Poland) Alex Bakharev 06:54, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete agree with Mikka, this is a rambling mish-mash of uncited material. What's so special about Soviet university? It's just a university that happens to be in the Soviet Union. Resurgent insurgent 10:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I was hoping there'd be something to merge somewhere, but there really doesn't seem to be here. What there is plenty of is confused original research and unsourced statements about a region covering the entire Soviet Bloc as was, and not really saying much that isn't said elsewhere, it seems.

- Delete per nom. It doesn't seem like there is anything here worth merging which isn't in other articles already. Debivort 18:24, 23 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
