List of Heroes of the Russian Federation (S)

Proposed article for deletion. Notability under question, list quality seems like a stub, no one is never going to support the list in actual state in English wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.105.129.139 (talk • contribs) 14:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Note: this is not my AFD, I'm good-faith submitting it for the IP who wanted it. tedder (talk) 16:40, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. See also: Category:Lists of Heroes of the Russian Federation. — Rankiri (talk) 17:42, 23 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment. What does the '(S)' in the article title indicate?  I don't have a problem with a list like this, but this appears to be redundant to List of Heroes of the Russian Federation.  Is this some kind of content fork? TJRC (talk) 17:49, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy Merge I was wondering the same as TJRC but the members of this list are inherantly notable. In western terms recipients of the aware have got the equivalent of the Victoria/George cross or the Congressional Medal of Honour or the Legion of Honour. Obviously only one list is necessary though. Spartaz Humbug! 18:05, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep (or merge). The "(S)" refers to the first letter of the honorees' surnames. This article, like everything else in Category:Lists of Heroes of the Russian Federation except for the main article, is transcluded into List of Heroes of the Russian Federation, possibly to avoid the hassle of editing an extremely large page.

 * Keep. Seems that someone not knowledgable enough about the subject matter had tagged due to sophomoric "I dont know nor care what this is about because I dont know it" attitude. --Zarutian (talk) 18:13, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep, not merge As Spartaz mentions, all Heroes of the Russian Federation are notable. If one looks at List of Heroes of the Russian Federation they have been transcluded by letter (see Category:Lists of Heroes of the Russian Federation) in order to try and prevent it from appearing in Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded; this is something that is on my to do list, as is eventually getting this up to some sort of standard where it can be taken to WP:FL...say, anyone opining here could do one redlink, it would get the ball rolling on getting rid of those. --Russavia I'm chanting as we speak 22:21, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep - it looks like the nom may have had the same confusion I gave voice to in my above comment. Given the explanations (thank you, Emily Jensen and Russavia), this is a clear and speedy keep. TJRC (talk) 22:57, 23 April 2010 (UTC)
