Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jaroslaw Bilaniuk


 * 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   delete. The consensus here is that the subject of the article is not notable, or if he is, it is only for one event. There's no clear and acceptable target for either a merge or redirect at the moment: see Rms125a@hotmail.com's question near the end of the discussion. If a suitable target arises, I would be happy to userfy content to be made use of in another article. This would not be inconsistent with the consensus here, which is that a separate article on the subject is not appropriate. Mkativerata (talk) 22:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Jaroslaw Bilaniuk

 * – ( View AfD View log )

A concentration camp guard - one of thousands - of no particular note - no evidence of special note or even of any involvement in any crimes at all. Unless all concentration camp guards are notable then he isn't. Off2riorob (talk) 16:13, 10 January 2011 (UTC) Off2riorob (talk) 16:13, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete The article does not really assert notability, or even say anything as to why this (now dead) person is important.Jaque Hammer (talk) 16:18, 10 January 2011 (UTC)*


 * Keep: Obviously as the creator of the article I would vote to keep, but I think it is clearly notable. Numerous articles on concentration camp personnel in Wikipedia so that is not an issue, but added notability for having been denaturalized, which is pretty rare. If someone wants to listify people who have been stripped of their United States citizenship I could support that. That he is now dead (deceased) is irrelevant, unless we only keep articles on living people now. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:19, 10 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep emphatic. Notable, documentable.--Galassi (talk) 21:21, 10 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete but an article about a bunch of these guys collectively, incorporating this person's info, would be acceptable. This particular individual doesn't seem notable but the phenomenon of people being stripped of citizenship due to wartime crimes is.Faustian (talk) 23:06, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak delete The page is about one person, out of thousands. Unless the individual did something historic to make himself notable, then no... it's gotta go.  D u s t i *poke* 00:49, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Merge to Pursuit of Nazi collaborators, which oddly enough has subsections for many countries, but not the United States. Merge to List of denaturalized Americans.  Clarityfiend (talk) 05:57, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't be merged until list is created. The ball is in your court. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 21:38, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Presto! Clarityfiend (talk) 03:46, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, pretty impressive. But then Bilaniuk remains as a redirect to your list, no? Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 19:18, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops. Canceling my lvote again, since Bilaniuk's denaturalization status is unknown. I'll vote for a redirect for Pilij though. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Er, I think you mean "Palij". Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:13, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, come on. Lemme Pilij ... and lute and Bern. Clarityfiend (talk) 01:41, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Seriously though, Palij's article is also at AfD and unless there is a shift in the vote trend will also be deleted or exist only as a redirect, so a redirect of Bilaniuk to Palij is highly unlikely. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 04:08, 13 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Merge both articles to a general article about denaturalization attempts against alleged ex-Nazis, or failing that delete. The topic is notable, but the individuals are not for lack of detailed coverage.  Sandstein   06:57, 18 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Question: Jakiw Palij already made into a redirect to List of denaturalized Americans. However, Bilaniuk is not on the list due to questions regarding the finality of the denaturalization proceedings at the time of his death, and, thus the consequent ambiguities. So where should/can his article/info be merged to?? Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 15:07, 19 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete No claim to notability, per CSD. The denaturalisation process was wp:oneevent at best (and that's being generous with only 21 google archive hitS). walk victor falktalk 21:57, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
