Dmitry Kuzmin
It's fake that Dmitry Kuzmin is famous russian poet. I recommend you delete this article. He isn't well-known in Russia and his poems have specific characteristic. Nevermind2 00:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep The only edits the nominator has made are to AfD articles having to do with gay culture. I believe this is a seriously bad faith nom. IrishGuy 00:37, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * So make simple test. Start google, type '"Dmitry Vladimirovich Kuzmin"' and push enter. How many links do you see? One link! No words. Nevermind2 00:47, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * P.S. I'm new user in EnWiki, but I'm known in RuWiki as Nevermind. See my contribution list here. Nevermind2 00:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * re Irishguy, see AfD New Queer Cinema Tyrenius 02:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica Book of the Year for 2004, he won an award for services to Russian literature. A Google search for him comes up with 1,360 hits and a Russian search would no doubt come up with more see . Capitalistroadster 00:57, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You are mistaken. As Dmitry Kuzmin are known different famouse Russians not only poet Dmitry Vladimirovich Kuzmin. Nevermind2 01:02, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't believe there is a mistake. I believe you are systematically going after gay culture articles. The subject of this article happens to be a gay poet. He also happens to be notable. Therefore it should stay. IrishGuy 01:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Gay culture is neutral subject for me but this person is not famous in Russia. That's all what I can say. You solve. Nevermind2 01:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep I trust Capitalistroadster's assessment. Besides, Google seems to show a decent number of references, such as this one.  If it's a hoax, then it's a stunningly well-crafted one. Andrew Lenahan -  St ar bli nd  01:11, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep I too trust Capitalistroadster's judgement. To me, your argument seems unsubstantiated in light of evidence uncovered. Bill (who is cool!) -  01:22, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep There certainly is a poet of that name on google. However, I would like to see more references in the article. Tyrenius 01:53, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, if he appears in a Britannica edition, he must be notable enough for Wikipedia. -- ReyBrujo 02:32, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, per all above. Seems as though he is a notable poet in Russia. --  Samir  [[Image:Canadian maple leaf 2.jpg|20px]]   (the scope)   धर्म  04:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Don't pay attention to this guy, that's only New Homophobic Wave in Russian wiki and nothing more :) --AndyVolykhov 05:04, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * You are liar, mr AndyVolykhov. You vote "keep" always even LGBT-article is bad, original research, POV, etc. Is that New Homophobic Wave? I think no. Nevermind2 19:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, nothin' but WP:POINT. Max S em 06:14, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, meets WP:BIO. --Ter e nce Ong 06:51, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. If he's not well-known in Russia, why the hell does he have an article on the Russian Wikipedia? Get that deleted before you come here. &mdash; Haeleth Talk 08:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * He tried that) Max S em 08:41, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. But you stopped voting by using your admin power. I'm correct? I'll try also to remove this article in RuWiki Nevermind2 19:34, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. That's called "early close per overwhelming consensus". Max S em 22:23, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh. Less one day (holiday!) and 8 "keep" is the consensus? You are wrong, Max S em. As you know today another admin has listed this article for deletion again. Gj! Nevermind2 17:55, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know what that's called in the Russian wiki but here that's known as snowballing. JoshuaZ 00:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * There is powerful LGBT-lobby in RuWiki and these guys block removing :-| Nevermind2 19:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Small piece of advice: even if you think there is a lobby/cabal/conspiracy somewhere telling users that rarely if ever helps your credibility. In most cases, it damages it. JoshuaZ 00:30, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * It's true in order case. But isn't in that. Firstly, Dmitry Kuzmin is administrator of RuWiki, see here. Secondly, admin Max S em stopped  voting in less than no time. Why? I don't know. Nevermind2 18:10, 3 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep, per WP:BIO.-- 陈 鼎  翔    贡献  Chat with Tdxiang on IRC! 10:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, looks like a bad faith nom to me. --Tango 18:46, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Ignoring all of the above, I think that if he is a poet that has been published in a professional fashion that his article should be allowed to remain on the Wiki.-Eyaw Nayr 20:42, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. Yes, I trust Cap[italistroadster's counts, but that is way fewer ghits than I get, and I am not in any way notable. Just zis Guy you know? 21:08, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep per Eyaw Nayr. Seems arguably notable. Also, I don't like rewarding bad faith nominations. If anothe editor wants to nominate it again in a month, I'll consider deleting it then. JoshuaZ 21:10, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep per others. Arbusto 02:31, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, we had a large discussion about deleting of this article in ru: and most voted for keep. MaxiMaxiMax 16:24, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
