[edit] Dmitry Kuzmin

It's fake that Dmitry Kuzmin is famous russian poet. I recommend you delete this article. He isn't well-known in Russia and his poems have specific characteristic. Nevermind2 00:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Strong Keep The only edits the nominator has made are to AfD articles having to do with gay culture. I believe this is a seriously bad faith nom. IrishGuy 00:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

  So make simple test. Start google, type '"Dmitry Vladimirovich Kuzmin"' and push enter. How many links do you see? One link! No words. Nevermind2 00:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

  P.S. I'm new user in EnWiki, but I'm known in RuWiki as Nevermind. See my contribution list here. Nevermind2 00:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• re Irishguy, see AfD New Queer Cinema Tyrenius 02:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year for 2004, he won an award for services to Russian literature. A Google search for him comes up with 1,360 hits and a Russian search would no doubt come up with more see [1]. Capitalistroadster 00:57, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

  You are mistaken. As Dmitry Kuzmin are known different famouse Russians not only poet Dmitry Vladimirovich Kuzmin. Nevermind2 01:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't believe there is a mistake. I believe you are systematically going after gay culture articles. The subject of this article happens to be a gay poet. He also happens to be notable. Therefore it should stay. IrishGuy 01:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Gay culture is neutral subject for me but this person is not famous in Russia. That's all what I can say. You solve. Nevermind2 01:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep I trust Capitalistroadster's assessment. Besides, Google seems to show a decent number of references, such as this one. If it's a hoax, then it's a stunningly well-crafted one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep I too trust Capitalistroadster's judgement. To me, your argument seems unsubstantiated in light of evidence uncovered. Bill (who is cool!) - 01:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep There certainly is a poet of that name on google. However, I would like to see more references in the article. Tyrenius 01:53, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, if he appears in a Britannica edition, he must be notable enough for Wikipedia. -- ReyBrujo 02:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, per all above. Seems as though he is a notable poet in Russia. -- Samir (the scope) धर्म 04:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Don't pay attention to this guy, that's only New Homophobic Wave in Russian wiki and nothing more :) --AndyVolykhov 05:04, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

  You are liar, mr AndyVolykhov. You vote "keep" always even LGBT-article is bad, original research, POV, etc. Is that New Homophobic Wave? I think no. Nevermind2 19:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy keep, nothin' but WP:POINT. MaxSem 06:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets WP:BIO. --Terence Ong 06:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. If he's not well-known in Russia, why the hell does he have an article on the Russian Wikipedia? Get that deleted before you come here. — Haeleth Talk 08:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

He tried that) MaxSem 08:41, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. But you stopped voting by using your admin power. I'm correct? I'll try also to remove this article in RuWiki Nevermind2 19:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. That's called "early close per overwhelming consensus". MaxSem 22:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Heh. Less one day (holiday!) and 8 "keep" is the consensus? You are wrong, MaxSem. As you know today another admin has listed this article for deletion again. Gj! Nevermind2 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

I don't know what that's called in the Russian wiki but here that's known as snowballing. JoshuaZ 00:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

There is powerful LGBT-lobby in RuWiki and these guys block removing :-| Nevermind2 19:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Small piece of advice: even if you think there is a lobby/cabal/conspiracy somewhere telling users that rarely if ever helps your credibility. In most cases, it damages it. JoshuaZ 00:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

It's true in order case. But isn't in that. Firstly, Dmitry Kuzmin is administrator of RuWiki, see here. Secondly, admin MaxSem stopped voting in less than no time. Why? I don't know. Nevermind2 18:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, per WP:BIO.-- 陈鼎翔 贡献 Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 10:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, looks like a bad faith nom to me. --Tango 18:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Ignoring all of the above, I think that if he is a poet that has been published in a professional fashion that his article should be allowed to remain on the Wiki.-Eyaw Nayr 20:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Yes, I trust Cap[italistroadster's counts, but that is way fewer ghits than I get, and I am not in any way notable. Just zis Guy you know? 21:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep per Eyaw Nayr. Seems arguably notable. Also, I don't like rewarding bad faith nominations. If anothe editor wants to nominate it again in a month, I'll consider deleting it then. JoshuaZ 21:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
• Keep per others. Arbusto 02:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
