Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/František Bohdal


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. The reason that this is "no consensus" rather than "keep" is that it's not clear which of the cited sources are RS; Czechoslovakia at this time was a totalitarian dictatorship where freedom of the press did not exist. In the cswiki discussion, it seemed to have been deleted mostly due to lacking perceived importance, but this is less important on enwiki where we look for significant coverage in reliable sources.

Deleted on cswiki per AfD, lacking notability. — Draceane talk contributions 08:24, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

Statement of the author of the article: There was a revision of the article - solving the pointed out problems, adding about 10 sources, which were not discussed at all in the past AfD, which prove the notability. Therefore, the removal of an article should have been evaluated by the entire community and should not be deleted in the opinion of a single administrator, as it happened on cswiki. The information in the article is verifiable (most sources have links where original articles can be read). The person has significant coverage in reliable articles (articles are archived in paper and online form in a scientific library, so the subject of the article is a permanent part of historical records). The person attracted press interest from the 1950s to the 1980s. He is the holder of two important state decorations, which were made by the President of the Republic on the proposal of the Government. He was a creative professional who brought improvements in the paper industry and the work of his department was awarded another state award for the entire team. At the same time, at the end of his working career, he was a local political figure who received significant press coverage. --Kopal.jiri (talk) 08:48, 16 October 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * If this page were to be deleted, I think there are several decent merging options to preserve the most important information about him. He could be a part of an article about Czechoslovakian decorations and people who were awarded them? I do not think such an article exists on enwiki yet, but perhaps it should. (On that topic, I was not able to find the individual decorations from 1978 and 1982 online, are they only available in person? However, I can verify his team received the 1978 decoration – listed as "Kolektiv zaměstnanců oddělení ,,roto" v závodě Rudého práva ve Větřní".) As some people pointed out on cswiki before the deletion, his biography could be a valuable addition to the topic of pulp and paper industry, so if there was an article about the mill he worked in, perhaps he could have a section there, just like he does on cswiki? The paper mill's existence is only briefly mentioned on enwiki now. Ynneblack (talk) 23:54, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
 * This newspaper article discusses the award For Outstanding Work (after fifty years from the publication of the article, it will be visible to everyone, now it can be viewed in the buildings of scientific libraries). The archive of the President's Office is gradually being processed and other lists of honors are being published. If someone requests information, the President's Office will provide information about the decorated person.--Kopal.jiri (talk) 16:45, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
