The initial sentence appears to be correct, but that's about it. The remainder of the article is an attempt at humour, redefining a slang term as a martial art. Ivan Poddubny was a real person, but appears to have been chosen to illustrate Stoush purely on the basis of his moustache. Catfish Jim & the soapdish 12:51, 1 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or complete rewrite, this is mostly vandalism. Hairhorn (talk) 01:41, 2 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The only part of the article with any validity was a dictionary definition, and the rest has now been removed. The definition is duplicated at Wiktionary. It comes close to being speedy-deletable under WP:CSD#A5 (an article that consists only of a dictionary definition that has already been transwikied e.g., to Wiktionary).

- Or you can redirect it to Digger slang#First World War where it can be found in context. ☺ Uncle G (talk) 12:23, 5 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
