Unreviewed article which should not be accepted

Hello. The article

الفاشية الروسية

is a partial translation in Arabic of a previous version of an article at the English Wikipedia (WP en). However, the WP en article was written using :en:FICTREF and to push a POV, all the while using the title "Russian fascism" to make it look like the topic is a notable historical subject while their topic is de facto 'any claim of Russia, esp. Russia under Vladimir Putin, being fascist and any comparison with Russia and past fascist regimes'. Please see the discussions at en:Talk:Russian fascism (ideology)#Editing problems and my intervention at sv:Diskussion:Rysk fascism#POV. The article at WP en which served as the basis for numerous WP articles translations (mostly by the same user!) is clearly a POV full of en:FICTREFs, many of which I listed at WP en. The article and its translations, I feel, should be deleted. Meanwhile, I have turned the WP en article into a general article with all the dubiously sourced claims removed, and have split wikidata:Q15975478 and wikidata:Q111487585.

مرحبًا، ككل مرة دعوة لانتخابات محسوم أمرها بالأغلبية المطلقة للمجتمعات الكبيرة، فبوجود مقعدين فقط دون تسقيف لأصوات المجتمعات الكبيرة وتحديد الترشح مثلا بالمجتمعات المهمشة (كان من السهل تحديد هذا الشرط) فإن احتمال فوز أحد ممثلي هذه المجتمعات ضئيل جدا تحياتي عادل امبارك ^راسلني 23:34، 27 أبريل 2022 (ت ع م)
