[edit] Speedy deletion

Vladimir Padunov, as the associate director of Film Studies has amassed the world's largest collection of East European films for educational purposes outside of Moscow. He is a well known and respected professor and author and works closely with other professors mentioned on this site, such as Colin MacCabe and Paul Bové (mentioned in the section regarding Boundary 2).

The reason given for deletion was a question of the author's (myself) credibility arguing that I was writing an article about "my husband" (my username is Ncondee and the subject's wife is Nancy Condee). This is inaccurate insomuch that I am Vladimir Padunov's son and former student at the University, Nikolai Condee. While the bias of family members is still present, the argument given is invalid.

Furthermore, all facts posted have been documented and credited. There is no just reason for deletion.

As reviewing admin, I don't see this being a clear cut CSD candidate. Feel free to try a prod or AfD if necessary. Tijuana Brass 16:35, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
