Category:Soviet people[edit]

Move (to Category:Russian people) or Delete this category and its seven subcategories as it's a duplicate of Category:Russian people. IZAK 10:28, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Oppose. I know the USSR isn't around anymore, but isn't this similar to saying delete "People of the USA" because "People of New Jersey" exists? Not all Soviets are Russians. -Kbdank71 16:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Oppose Where would all the non-Russian Soviets go? And millions of Russians throughout history were never in the Soviet Union. —Michael Z. 2005-03-8 17:19 Z
Oppose We still keep Roman people, for example, even though the Roman Empire/Republic are long gone. --VivaEmilyDavies 22:10, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
Oppose "duplicate of Category:Russian people"? I can think of people in 14 former-Soviet, non-Russian countries that might disagree with you there! And also a lot of non-Soviet Russians, for that matter. Grutness|^hello? 23:52, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Question[edit]

Is this a cat for all people born in the Soviet Union? What about people who emmigrated at an early age? Shoudln't there be a Category:Soviet emmigrants or some such for the people living in exile / diaspora? Kevlar67 20:32, 5 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
