Grozny OMON fratercide incident

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

This article is written as if it covers a factual, notable event, but if that were true, it should have some reference from Google to the incident, and I didn't find any. Maybe some of our Russian editors can verify the story; else it should be deleted for failing WP:ATT. YechielMan 18:43, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete Even if it did take place, it seems way too insignificant to warrant its own article, considering how many "incidents" took place. There are several list type articles where this can be perfectly compressed into.--Kuban Cossack 20:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Did you read the sources? They're in english and confirm that it happened. Further, this is the equivalent in Russia of major American Blue on Blue casualties, which are certainly newsworthy/encyclopedic. &rArr;    SWAT Jester    On Belay!  23:48, 16 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment: If what is said in the article is true, there will surely be an awful lot of Russian language sources for it. J Milburn 23:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete and recreate at new page article title is a misspelling of "fratricide", however, all three sources in english check out from major russian newspapers as well as "The Independant" &rArr;    SWAT Jester    On Belay!  23:44, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and move to Grozny OMON fratricide incident per SWATJester. (Note that mis-spelling is not a speedy deletion criterion, and moving content to a new article cannot follow a delete per the GFDL.) This is certainly notable by objective standards; searching on "grozny omon friendly.fire" gave me this CNN article, for example. The article could stand some cleanup and proper referencing. -- Dhartung | Talk 06:15, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
