[edit] Dmitry Puchkov

Dmitry Puchkov (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

The article doesn't meet the notability requirement for biographies (WP:BIO). All references are to Russian web sites. If anything, it should be on the Russian Wikipedia. Has anyone who doesn't speak Russian ever heard of Dmitry Puchkov? Faustus 11:54, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Keep - Are you saying that only Russian-speakers should know about these things? Is it not the purpose of Wikipedia to inform people of things they may not know? Chronolegion 12:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps I didn't phrase the reasons clearly. The main problem with the article is that it does not meet the notability requirements specified in WP:BIO. The Russian references comment's purpose is to demonstrate this. Faustus 12:24, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• Delete, translator that goofes up, without secondary non-trivial sources (at least as far as my three words of Russian can establish), thereby failing WP:N and WP:A Alf^Photoman 13:34, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - the guy is reasonobly notable Alex Bakharev 09:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - he is very popular, and not only in Russia. I saw his books and films in London/Toronto/Frakfurt. I easily could compare him to Michael Moore or Mel Brooks by notability. - Vald 11:23, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
• weak keep if some of these translations could be identified and cited. The articles seems to have a problem with NPOV, but there will be time for that when it is kept. DGG 05:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Can you, please, elaborate on "identified and cited"? Chronolegion 11:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep per the comments made above. RFerreira 03:20, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
