- _Wikipedia does not have firm rules_. Good ol' IAR, here, boys. Much as Certain People may complain about it, it's one of the pillars on which rests our hopes and our success so far.
Now, '4' and '5' can be regarded as peculiar to the English Wikipedia.
French Wikipedia AfD for IAR: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikip%C3%A9dia:Pages_%C3%A0_supprimer/Wikip%C3%...
I'm not sure what you would all have made of this if I just left it without comment.
Instead I will mention that a translation of an old version of the english IAR was already (and still is) written right into the main rules page.
I can easily see us getting entirely the wrong impression from the Russian Verifiability thing.
