[edit] Nikolay Volkov

• The article remains untranslated after too weeks of it's entry on Pages needing translation; multiple editors are in consensus that the content is of little or no value. Should be deleted. - Introvert ^talk 00:03, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

  A few excerpts from the discussion WP:PNT#Nikolay Volkov:

  Russian, and deletable. Has nothing to do with any Nikolay nor Volkov. Content is "after the law about the Jewish autonome district was cancelled in 1993 [that's a real district in Russia], which originally passed in 1981, the district was in a strange situation. No new law had been passed, and of the five autonome districts that existed in the Russian USR, only the Jewish one remained (four had been granted the status of republics within the Russian Federation). All five previous autonomies were a part of bigger federation subjects". Jewish Autonomous Oblast has the relevant and verifiable information. Solver 12:50, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

  [...] It appears that Nikolay Volkov is in fact, the governor of the said Jewish autonomy (since 1991!). It probably won't be too hard to find the governor's bio, but this piece now surely looks like an anti-governor rant... and perhaps should still be deleted. There's no article about him in the Russian wikipedia too, if that's going to help to make a decision. ? - Introvert ^talk 05:51, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

  I'm with Introvert on not being telling if it's upside down or sideways, but from the transliteration Rich provided I'm pretty sure it's just the name of the said autonomous oblast: Yidisher="Jewish", "avitanama"="autonomous", "gegnt"="oblast". A rough google search confirms this, too. All in all, nothing of value there.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 19:42, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

  This is two weeks old... Since there's still an active discussion here, I figure I'll ask first: Any objections to moving this to WP:AFD? It looks like we have a consensus that this is not worth translating... Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)}

• Comment. I'm removing Nikolay Volkov from WP:PNT, per usual practice. If you want to see the original discussion on, you can read it in this revision. Jamie ^{(talk/contribs)} 00:44, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

• Delete per nom and disambiguate, as Nikolai Volkov is a name for both a notable professional wrestler from the 1970s through the 1990s and a notable Russian actor. B.Wind 04:05, 18 December 2005 (UTC)
