Latest rumour[edit]
He has Norwegian Blue Parrot-ed.
How much plausibility to the story? Anna Livia (talk) 10:03, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
- Variously repeated story.
- How often does he/a reasonably close body double appear on 'official and other' news and other sources with a visual component? Anna Livia (talk) 12:13, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- And another (removed wrong link)
At what point will the number of such desinformatie stories clog up the workings of the Putin-circle? Anna Livia (talk) 20:09, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- Who's had more death hoaxes so far? Putin or Kim Jong-un? I'm guessing the latter but it's starting to become a competition. Chillpilled (talk) 20:15, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
- And considering the occasional cases where people are declared prematurely and have all sorts of problems sorting out the legalities (as well as the dead monarchs being transported back to the capital behind a load of rotting fish).
- How much is 'the issue' there being no-one with sufficient 'authority' to be regarded as the successor? Anna Livia (talk) 19:06, 10 November 2023 (UTC)
Double not quits[edit]

"Badass"[edit]
CenterOfReason, calling Putin "badass" would be giving him more credit than he deserves. He's a coward and a bully, a spiteful mediocrity hiding behind a failing macho image constructed by his PR people. - Linneris (talk) 11:04, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
Overall quality of the article[edit]
I am not familiar with RationalWiki standards for article quality, but this one, having "a silver medal for quality", is a disaster, containing unsubstantiated claims and factual mistakes virtually in every paragraph. I corrected some of them, but this article needs a __massive__ rework/ fact-check. — Unsigned, by: 79.137.195.121 / talk / contribs
- The problem is partially a 'work in progress/an ongoing situation' - people add sentence (fragments) as the situation changes (elections, enemies dealt with etc) - and 'category of people about whom there are a number of strongly held divergent opinions.'

[number] Kids and Counting[edit]
What about the latest 'Your country needs babies' campaign (given that he 'has several according to various sources') as the fertility rate is about 1.5 per female. Anna Livia (talk) 19:40, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
