This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Ukraine. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

You can help maintain the list on this page:

  • To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):
  • Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  • You can also tag the AfD by adding
{{subst:delsort|Ukraine}}<small>—~~~~</small>
to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here.
  • Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
  • You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Ukraine.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Europe

[edit] Ukraine

[edit] Leonid Savin

Leonid Savin (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

  • Speedy Delete per CSD G4, recreated material previously deleted after afd discussion. There's no information about activity since the last afd. No reason to have an annual afd discussion. --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 15:42, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete If it is in fact a duplicate of deleted material (not an admin so no way for me to compare). Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment: It's been G4 tagged. WilliamH (talk) 16:11, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah I was going to mention that it had already been tagged but, I didn't really look at who tagged it or knew of a way to verify whether it had actually been done by someone that had both copies for comparison purposes. Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:36, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Speedy declined, it was not the same article. This one is improved, with references. No comment yet on notability. TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 17:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
How true! Savin has gone on the run from the Ukraine, sneaking back into to desecrate a monument to the Ukrainian nation on Mt Hoverla. (The incident had already been added to that page). This was big news in the Ukraine, even if certain environmentalists are embarrassed about how easily he infiltrated their organisations. It is a shame that rather than learning from their experience, they go into denial - even to the extent of trying to have the interesting page about him deleted.Harrypotter (talk) 00:15, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

which is notability according to Wikipedia's guidelines on notability of people. Paki.tv (talk) 07:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete His notablity is marginal at best. He is not the leader of the movement and only is one of the members. He was charged with public mischief for vandalism along with 2 other accomplices and is not being singled out as someone special. My fear is that this undue attention to petty criminal makes him out to be more important than he really is. His achievements are next to non-existant: a cleaner and a journalist. He is not featured prominently even in Ukraine, where he is charged with mischief for vandalism. The improvement over the last deleted version is very insignificant and does not change his notability per WP guidelines.--Hillock65 (talk) 12:21, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
He is a leader according to their own website, which is linked on the page, where it says quite clearly under a picture of him : Начальник Сумской Сетевой Ставки ЕСМ Леонид Савин Paki.tv (talk) 14:30, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
It says he is the leader of regional Sumy chapter of a very marginal organization in Ukraine. One of many chapters. Why all of a sudden he is more prominent than, say Crimea or Kharkiv chapter leaders or the other two accomlices in the vandalism case? Are we planning to write articles on them as well? At least that will prove why an absolutely insignificant person is being elevated to someone deserving mentioning in an encyclopedia. --Hillock65 (talk) 15:13, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I'm not arguing his leadership makes him notable - it is you that are claiming that he is just a rank and file member rather than someone in a position of authority with in the organisation - what i am arguing is that his position combined with a variety of secondary independent sources on his activities are what make him notable - as per wikipedia guidelines.

  • delete he's just a petty vandal. Per WP:NOTE. Ostap 15:42, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Note: This debate has been included in the list of Ukraine-related deletion discussions. brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:40, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete petty vandal who has been charged with public mischief, as have countless other people who also fail to meet WP:BIO standards. JBsupreme (talk) 08:57, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
