Aleksandr Surikov (diplomat)

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Fails GNG and NBIO. Recently deceased Russian diplomat. Sources found in article and BEFORE fail WP:SIRS. Source eval: BEFORE found name mentions and government statements they released, and an interview, nothing meet WP:SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth from independent reliable sources.  // Timothy :: talk  02:02, 13 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Comment: First and foremost, lower your tone while nominating the article for deletion. Secondly, government decrees can be used as secondary sources as if you can type the full name in a Russian, many sources will pop up, (in Russian of course), apart from the official government statement. Here's my third point, he is the ambassador to Mozambique, the highest office of any diplomat in office. Would you delete the ambassador of the United States of Mozambique for that reason?

 * he is the ambassador to Mozambique, the highest office of any diplomat in office Ambassadors are not inherently notable, several hundred have been deleted. LibStar (talk) 03:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Delete 3 of the sources are primary. The other is routine coverage of his unfortunate death. Fails WP:BIO. Ambassadors are not inherently notable. LibStar (talk) 03:58, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I'm leaning to keep, but if if it's drafted... I wouldn't be surprised as well.Ivan Milenin (talk) 05:55, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 Keep  I decided to keep because even if the some coverage had been lacking, I found some source that could suffice these... Ivan Milenin (talk) 22:30, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm striking your duplicate vote. Editors can comment all they want (within limits) but can only cast one vote. Liz Read! Talk! 00:51, 3 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Delete. Does not appear to be significant third party coverage to a level to satisfy the general notability guidelines.   Malinaccier  ( talk ) 20:15, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete, ambassadors are not automatically notable and the sources presented do not meet GNG. Daniel (talk) 01:27, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Suspicious deaths of notable Russians (2022–2024), or delete. He is only notable for his death, which falls under WP:1E. Toadspike   [Talk]  09:44, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I have added an entry for the subject at that list, this can be redirected now. Toadspike   [Talk]  09:53, 7 June 2024 (UTC)
