Talk:Aleksei Mikheyev

This is valid BLP article. If you want to delete it, please use AfD.Biophys (talk) 04:58, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * This is a valid redirect to the article with the same information. Unless you think that the person is notable enough to have his own article, make sure you can prove it. (Igny (talk) 05:02, 1 February 2009 (UTC))


 * No one needs to prove anything to create an article. However, if one believes that subject is not notable, he can nominate such article for deletion. That is how things work in wikipedia.Biophys (talk) 05:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your contribution, this information is now preserved in a good place with a suitable title. Thank you again.(Igny (talk) 05:11, 1 February 2009 (UTC))

Merge
Clearly this is a valid BLP article, should Mikheyev v. Russia be merged to here or be a separate article? Martintg (talk) 05:02, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it should not. BLP and court case are different subjects.Biophys (talk) 16:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 *  Merge this article into Mikheyev v. Russia. The person is not notable enough. The court case is. There is no need to create a separate article about every little detail in the court case. Otherwise the article would read
 * Mikheyev v. Russia is a notable court case of Mikheyev v. Russia. After surviving Phone call to Putin Mikheyev ... According to Amnesty International, widespread torture in Russia... etcetc
 * So no this article should be a redirect to the court case where all the information is preserved.(Igny (talk) 16:33, 3 February 2009 (UTC))


 * If the person is not notable, one should nominate this article for deletion.Biophys (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Is there anything in this article that is NOT related to the court case? Umm, birthday? Birthplace? Anything at all? (Igny (talk) 17:19, 3 February 2009 (UTC))
 * Just redirect to Mikheyev v. Russia and be done with it. WP:BLP1E applies here. As Igny quite rightly points out, you don't have any details, birth date, place of birth etc. How old was he when he stopped wetting the bed, when he had his first kiss, etc. You know, all of those other mundane details which we have in an encyclopaedia on notable people. This guy is notable only for possibly being tortured, jumping out a window (WP:NOT, which resulted in him suing the government in a notable case called Mikheyev v. Russia. I must say this is getting really bloody WP:TEDIOUS. --Russavia Dialogue 23:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Redirect or merge. -- Miacek and his crime-fighting dogM. se fâche( woof! ) 17:13, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment It is pretty clear that WP:BLP1E applies here. It is not "deleting" the article, it is redirecting the article name to a notable case which is what the notable subject is. There is nothing more to add onto this guy that isn't already in there, and I have been WP:BOLD as WP:BLP1E applies and redirected to the article on the case. Enough is enough already. If it is undone, it will be taken to AfD whereby it will be merged anyway, so please don't waste our time and energy in undoing the redirect. --Russavia Dialogue 13:50, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
