[edit] Valery Baranov

Obscure biographical stub - no other page references this one, and the details provided are scant, uncertain and unsourced. Either someone can make it relevant to other pages on Wikipedia, or make it valuable as an article that stands by itself, otherwise I think it is a good candidate to be deleted.

• Clean up and tag for expansion: This is a pretty important fellow. If he can make it to my memory through the BBC World Service, he has to have a fairly high profile. Geogre 04:11, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep and expand [1] Dlyons493 Talk 10:05, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep expansion is possible Avala 12:39, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep Notable Russian (I'm sure lots of local media has covered him). Just because it's not covered in Western media isn't a reason to dump; just needs expansion. Fine stub. rootology 18:57, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Rootology, he is covered in Western media, if not in American media very much. The original author, though, did us absolutely no favors by writing something this rudimentary, so to speak. Geogre 20:20, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, unless you think that Stonewall Jackson also deserves to be removed. Jackson was also only a corps commander. Jackson also only fought in a local civil clash in a country then of little signicance on the world stage. And Jackson's wounds came when he was fragged by his own troops (a less auspicious end that Baranov's). I know, I know, too much sarcasm; but let's be a little less first world centric and at least acknowledge the second world exists. This kind of article should NOT get an AfD nomination.

  • I should have gone to your userpage before I wrote the above. My apologies for the first-world centric remark. But now I'm really puzzled. Why would a Baltic Russian suggest a Russian General was unimportant?
• Keep per rootology. Hektor 07:01, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per the above comments. Yamaguchi先生 09:39, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
