nadgorliwość jest gorsza od faszyzmu

This is defined as a Polish proverb, but does not seem to be one. google books:"nadgorliwość jest gorsza od faszyzmu" finds only 6 hits, in only 4 of which the phrase is actually shown by Google. To be a proverb, a phrase must have many more durably archived hits, I believe. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:10, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Plus they they took a concise, direct phrase and gave it a rambling, vague heap of verbiage instead of a definition. Chuck Entz (talk) 07:26, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

Keep. There is no exceptional criterion for proverbs, and the variant nadgorliwość gorsza od faszyzmu is listed in at least one published glossary of proverbs. — Ungoliant ^(falai) 04:31, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

If it cannot be demonstrated to be a proverb, then this is simply a sum of parts sentence. The published glossary is this, right? The typesetting looks extremely cheep, so it is as "published" as any random web page, and its being "published" in this way does not matter at all. --Dan Polansky (talk) 08:00, 13 July 2014 (UTC)

Keep - this expression is quite common. It's not exactly a proverb, more like a catchphrase, so I'm not surprised it's not present in published collections of proverbs. --Tweenk (talk) 08:51, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Kept, clear absence of consensus to delete. bd2412 T 16:57, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

It does exist

I have added a better equivalent: to put a hat on a hat, as per one parallel texts collection.
