Guys, what a terrible English... Did the author have any idea of the English grammar? I guess that was a purely machine translation, made by Google or whatever, but anyway this is absolutely NOT the way people should write articles in Wiki.

No such thing as "Ukrainian language"

This very intelligent ass clown claims that there is no such thing as Ukrainian language and that Ukrainian is actually nothing but a Russian dialect. Any opinions? http://vz.ru/news/2009/3/16/265622.html http://www.russia.ru/video/vasserman3/ --KpoT 00:47, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

>>Its his opinion. Probably he's right, who knows. Anyway there is no space in wiki for different scientific freaks so i dont think its those information that have to be added. Greetings from Russia.

>>Wasserman's fame is predominantly based on postulating the non-existence of Ukraine or the Ukrainian language. His internet presence and media interviews revolve around this subject almost entirely therefore, if he is considered to be substantive enough a figure to have an entry in Wikipedia, it is essential that the reason for his high profile be elaborated on. To broach the object of his fame/infamy as a controversial figure is dangerous ground and is irrelevant in the English speaking world. He already has entries in both Ukrainian and Russian for those who are acquainted with issues surrounding Russophile propaganda, Russophobia, Ukrainophobia, etc. The gameshows and other incidentals certainly don't qualify him for an English entry. At best, the Wikipedia entry should read as Wasserman's being a regional minor celebrity, but I would suggest that the English entry be deleted entirely. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 01:48, 3 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Please provide references in English for English language Wikipedia or move article to appropriate Wikipedia site. There is effectively no reference for this article. Lexlex (talk) 03:34, 13 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Ok, looks like someone (IP) is not happy with the idea of a non controversial deletion as they removed my PROD tag. That said, I still think this page should be deleted and will be nominating for add. Lexlex (talk) 00:00, 15 October 2012 (UTC)Reply
