Why Is This Article on Wikipedia?[edit]

Why is this article on Wikipedia? This one of the most obscure articles that I have yet seen. The 17 year old was killed. We don't know how and suspect why? But why is this article important, in even the slightest sense? Because he received a mention by the dictator of Yugoslavia after the war? Should everyone who received an award for bravery be mentioned in Wikipedia, especially if we don't know what they did or why they received posthumous mention? What makes it even more obscure is that he is from a non-English-speaking nation of no consequence to an English-speaking encyclopaedia... I am a preservationist or retentionist, but this article is just too obscure. Stevenmitchell (talk) 05:15, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, there is a real General Bosko Buha who was assassinated, which is what brought me to Wikipedia, but there is no mention of him in the English encyclopaedia... Stevenmitchell (talk) 05:21, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Have a look at WP:SOLDIER which is an essay which provides some guidance about the notability of military people. Buha was a posthumous recipient of the Order of the People's Hero, the highest military gallantry award that could be awarded to an ordinary Partisan soldier. There were only about 1,400 awarded from 800,000 Partisans. It is not just some award for bravery, it is the highest award. His age is also a relevant factor, as is the fact that a film was made about him. The article definitely needs expansion, but he is definitely notable, as on top of the film there are at least two books that tell the stories of all of the recipients of this award. This is not Wikipedia just for English-speaking subjects, it is Wikipedia for the world in the English language. Perhaps you would like to write an article about General Buha, what nationality was he? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 09:13, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
