Alexey Smirnov

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I am correcting a previous attempt to list the page for deletion. The reason given by User:Boleyn3 in that attempt is: "Dab page with no entries which meet MOS:DABRL" Propaniac (talk) 15:11, 8 May 2009 (UTC) Comment A redirect to Alexei dab seems fine, but none of the 4 entries on Alexey would be a valid addition to the Alexei dab.

 * Delete As noted above, User:Boleyn3, not myself, was the actual nominator for this deletion. However, I concur that the page should be deleted, as there appear to be no existing articles with information about anyone named Alexey Smirnov and a disambiguation page is thus unnecessary.

 * Per below, I agree that this should either redirect to Alexei Smirnov or the Alexei page should be moved to this title. Propaniac (talk) 18:57, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect to (or from) Alexei Smirnov; seems to be just an alternative transliteration of Russian Алексей. Hqb (talk) 18:19, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Hmm, didn't realize there was a dab for another romanization.  As per WP:RUS, it should actually be located at "Alexey Smirnov", and since "Alexei Smirnov" contains blue links, I think the point of this nomination becomes moot.  I motion to speedy keep the page; if seconded, I'll do the necessary moves/mergers myself.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:24, May 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * A redirect, actually, should be the other way (as per WP:RUS), which is why this AfD needs to be withdrawn first. The other four entries, of course, will not be included—as much as I dislike WP:DABRL, it is, unfortunately, a standing guideline.  Will you withdraw the nom?  I'll do the grunt work no prob.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 18:37, May 8, 2009 (UTC)
