Inclusion/exclusion of New Years' tree
Altenmann, can you please explain what you mean by lignorant sources dont count. It is called novogonyaya yolka, i.e. christmas fir? You're edit warring against a long standing stable status quo here. signed, Rosguilltalk20:38, 8 December 2023 (UTC)reply
There is no English word yolka. If you disagree, please cite a dictionary. It is just a transliteration of RUssian word for spruce/fir tree. In russian the new year tree is called novogodnyaya yolka (new year spruce) and christmas tree was called rozhdestvenskaya yolka (christmas spruce). Colloquially, in the context, it is abbreviated to simply yolka, i.e., spruce/fir tree. -

It doesn't need to be a word with an English dictionary entry to have a disambiguation page entry, it just has to be used in English vernacular, which the source I provided, is evidence of.[1]signed, Rosguilltalk20:44, 8 December 2023 (UTC)reply
I am still opposed to adding foreign dicdefs into dab pages (there are plentynof cases when the authors plug in ordinary foreign words for the sake of imitating the cultural context), but I restored the item and rephrased for clarity. -
