Kopyś Castle

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Delete no references, barely any context, and no indication that this castle is notable. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 22:42, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How did you search? I ask so I won't repeat the same search myself. DGG (talk) 19:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Google has 94 hits including WP, no mention of the castle other than in context of surname or town; a redirect to the town may be fine, but I'm not convinced that this building could sustain an article and is sufficiently unlikely search term as it would already contain "Kopyś" which our search software would present as a "did you mean" choice.

 * Unless you know the Belorussian name, google hits won't say much. Next time try JSTOR. Ottre 12:40, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, no context. Kopys was clearly an important medieval town, and the lack of references may well stem from cultural bias in Russian academia. However, I don't think anybody has mentioned the actual castle since 1975. Ottre 20:12, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 00:14, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete as nn; found one other passing mention . Will reconsider if other (foreign language?) sources are found. JJL (talk) 00:42, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. Someone has redirected. Is that the done thing during a deletion discussion? Bearing in mind my rescue of another Belarus castle article also nominated by Carlo, the naming will probably be an issue in sourcing. Fences and windows (talk) 00:49, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
