[edit] Boris Markenson

Five Google hits, none of which show him as admiral. Denni☯ 22:22, 2005 September 11 (UTC)

• Comment. This Google result, translated with my horrid Portuguese appears to verify the claim to notability. Whether a Brazilian Navy admiral from WWII is notable or not is another matter entirely. Fernando Rizo T/C 22:37, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless Fernando cares to expand the article. I tend to think admirals even of major navies are not neccessarily notable.---CH (talk) 01:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
• Reserve probably deserves an article, but needs to be expanded and verified. --Apyule 05:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep I think that it passes notability, and that if it stays it will (eventually) be expanded more. --Apyule 00:50, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

• I've googled, translated and expanded the article as much as it's ever likely to be expanded, IMO. Now I think it should be deleted. TheMadBaron 17:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

• Well, he was the only ever Jewish admiral in a Latin American navy. This is in itself is a claim to notoriety!

• Keep He's notable enough for me. Paul August ☎ 18:49, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
