• (weak) Delete: Seems to be a bit non-notable; I'm not really sure on this one, though. _-M ^o P-_ 04:15, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

• Based on the fact that the references to Eugene Platon first appeared in Wikipedia itself in articles Whitbread Round the World Race and “Hetman Sahaidachny”, I think the article Eugene Platon meets the [notability] criteria. --Bakhteiarov 01:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC) This is this user's only edit. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞

Comment Bakhteiarov (talk • contribs • count) and Eplaton (talk • contribs • count) would appear to be the same person. ➨ ❝REDVERS❞ 10:33, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
