Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eugene Roshal

This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record.
The result of the debate was ambiguous. I count 3 clear "delete" votes (including the anonymous nominator whose vote is discounted somewhat), 5 clear "keep" votes (one of them discounted as a troll) and 4 clear "merge/redirect" votes. There is not concensus to delete. However, the majority opinion is that this should not remain as an independent article. Since merge and redirect does not destroy history, I am going to be bold and do so. Rossami (talk) 09:23, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Eugene Roshal
