Tloka[edit]

This was improperly and not completely posted to VfD. I'm finishing the process. No vote. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-02-13 15:00 Z

  • Delete - unsubstantiated, unsupported by any source and subscribed to the non-existent "Polish mythology". [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 15:41, Dec 19, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - more nonsense Brookie 17:52, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep — the claim that Polish mythology is non-existent is bizarre, and I found references on the web (e.g., 1 and 2). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:06, 13 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, dictionary definition. Megan1967 00:42, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, like the next one. Wyss 01:42, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as Mel Etitis said. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:57, Feb 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • This one, however, I'm not sure about. I have maybe a dozen words of Polish, if that, but [1] is in English (and pretty clearly indicates the existence of Polish mythology, thank you), and it seems to show that "tloka" is the spirit of community, in a metaphorical sense - in the same way that Wikipedia has spawned a spirit of community.

Delete, but NOT on the grounds that there's no such thing as Polish mythology. DS 22:33, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • I see your point — it's just that 'Spirit' is capitalised in one reference, and not in the other. I'll see if I can find further evidence to push me one way or the other. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:04, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Assuming this is factual information, Should this be in the Dictionary section and/or would it be better placed under Polish Mythology? If not, should there be a seperate "Glossary of Polish Mythology" page, child of polish mythology? (I know there must be practically nil for content in the area right now, but namespace decisions should be looked at through a very long term lens IMO EggplantWizard 23:09, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, utter nonsense, no such thing as "Polish" mythology. JamesBurns 07:46, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Can someone explain this peculiar insistence on the part of some Users that Poland is unique in having no muthology? Is there some religious or other belief behind it? I've come across irrationality in other discussions, but this repeated blank repetition of a nonsensical claim is new to me (outside articles attracting fundemntalist religion and racist politics). What;s going on? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:16, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
