 * Based on the fact that the references to Eugene Platon first appeared in Wikipedia itself in articles Whitbread Round the World Race and “Hetman Sahaidachny”, I think the article Eugene Platon meets the [notability] criteria. --Bakhteiarov 01:50, 23 April 2006 (UTC) This is this user's only edit. ➨ ❝ R E  DVERS ❞
