I still say there's no assertion of notability in the article as writen, although your notes here suggests that such an assertion can be written. Please do so. You don't say he was a significant Belarusian poet and translator. (As an aside, does "transportated" mean something like being declared an "unperson"? — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 17:08, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
