Alexander Vasiliev (Catholic priest)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Priest bio, does not seem to meet WP:N. Deprodded with a rationale that his imprisonment makes him notable. No, it does not, unless it made him discussed in reliable sources - which the article so far fails to prove. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 13:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

 * I checked Russian sources and could not find anything which was not already in the article (two or three more sources which merely state that he converted and was jailed). Probably delete if no further sources are found.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:01, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep -- He appears to have been imprisoned for his faith, and his death in prison can be regarded as martyrdom. This makes him a candidate for canoniosation.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:33, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * And you based this conclusion on what sources? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 10:56, 30 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete for failing WP:SIGCOV and WP:VICTIM. Blue   Riband►   04:24, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Nothing on him found in a High Beam search, a Questia search and a google search, other than what is already mentioned. Yes, he possibly could be a candidate for canonization but since there is no evidence that he is such a candidate, that would be speculation, can not be mentioned in the article and thus should not count toward notability. I saw a reference to another priest of the same name that was a confessor for the czar and presided over Rasputin's funeral but that must be an older person; should not be confused. May have been an admirable person, but no more details or sources so notability not established. Donner60 (talk) 08:05, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
