Mikhail Zakharov (Soviet Navy officer), Serafimovskoe Cemetery, List of burials at Serafimovskoe Cemetery

 * ... that naval officer Mikhail Zakharov is one of a large number of people to have been buried in the Serafimovskoe Cemetery (cemetery church pictured) in Saint Petersburg? Source: "Похоронен  г. Санкт-Петербург  Серафимовское  кладбище" - "Buried St. Petersburg Serafimovskoe cemetery"

 * Symbol question.svg Thanks for creating the three impressive articles! They're long enough, new enough, neutral, and mostly well referenced. Image is nice and freely licensed. QPQ exempt. My main concern is that in List of burials at Serafimovskoe Cemetery, the tables listing notable burials are largely unsourced. A secondary concern is that the hook is not very interesting. Can you think of something other than "a large number of people", maybe "one of several admirals", or "one of many World War II veterans"? One more thing, which is not DYK related, is that Mikhail Zakharov (Soviet Navy officer) should probably be renamed as Mikhail Zakharov (admiral), which is the common disambiguation for admirals. -Zanhe (talk) 04:47, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much. I've added sources to the list article, and I think perhaps ALT1 below might be better? As to the title, for example Category:Royal Navy admirals shows many uses of the "(xxx Navy officer)" practise. Spokoyni (talk) 13:32, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * ALT1 - ... that naval officer Mikhail Zakharov is one of several admirals to have been buried in the Serafimovskoe Cemetery (cemetery church pictured) in Saint Petersburg?


 * Thanks for adding the sources, and ALT1 is more interesting and verified. I hate to nitpick, but can you add sources for the "Group memorials" section as well? As for the article title, yeah the Royal Navy officers seem to have their own naming convention, as most other admirals (including Soviet/Russian ones) use "admiral" as disambiguator. That's not a dealbreaker and I created a redirect at Mikhail Zakharov (admiral) for now. -Zanhe (talk) 18:34, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Sources now added for the "Group memorials" section. Spokoyni (talk) 17:05, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
