Talk:Andrey Stepanov

Andrei Stepanov
Andrey Nikolayevich Stepanov real name is Andrei Stepanov, beacause he is Estonian, he has no middle name. Pelmeen10 (talk) 15:29, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Deletion
I just want to ascertain why this page is being deleted.

Is it to make way for the footballer to be moved back here? If so I support that.

But if it's to delete the redirect for someone other than the footballer to take its place, I oppose it until there has been discussion. Regards, WFC (talk) 16:00, 16 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, I want to make way for the footballer to move it back here. Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:28, 16 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok. After doing a bit of research into the circumstances of the move, and of policy in this area, I came to the same conclusion. I therefore re-tagged it with the correct CSD and rationale. If, and only if, the other man's article is created, I believe the footballer would belong at Andrey Stephanov (footballer) Andrei Stephanov (footballer) anyway, per WP:COMMONNAME.

 * Actually I only want Andrei Stepanov page, but maybe this page is also pointless. Pelmeen10 (talk) 22:42, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. WFC (talk) 22:46, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I've tagged that page for deletion at all. I will contact the person responsible in the hope that s/he can explain his/her actions. Regards, WFC (talk) 22:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Pelmeen10 (talk) 23:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

I've declined the G6 deletion for now. I'm awaiting further clarification at WP:AN as to exactly what is wanted in relation to the name Andre(i/j/y) Stephanov. The current dab page does have two blue links. Mjroots (talk) 08:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Clarification
Sorry to have missed this discussion when doing my usual maintenance rounds. I just wanted to clarify that this page is located at "Andrey Stepanov" (and not at "Andrei Stepanov") in accordance with the WP:RUS guideline; specifically bullet 9. That provision does not, of course, affect the spelling variant choices for the individual entries on this page. Hope this helps.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); July 19, 2010; 21:29 (UTC)
