Marat 'maratik' Sharafutdinov

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

While this article subject won a huge amount of money in one poker game 11 years ago, I think they are a good example of WP:BLP1E fame. I also don't think the sources we have are independent reliable sources, they seem blogish to me. Liz Read! Talk! 23:57, 2 September 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: Relisting inappropriate sock closure; initially closed by User:The Micronesian-Corsican Revolution who is the same user as User:TheElvisBelievingBumbleBee, and closure did not reflect the emerging consensus. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:06, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Games and Russia. Liz Read! Talk! 23:57, 2 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to World Championship of Online Poker (where he is mentioned under 2012, but not back-linked to this article) as a BLP1E. Naming convention stinks, no objection to renaming in the process. No objection to deletion if there's a good argument that this fails V, not just N. Jclemens (talk) 01:12, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Rename to either 2012 World Championship of Online Poker and/or 2012 World Championship of Online Poker Main Event. TheElvisBelievingBumbleBee (talk) 06:32, 3 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to World Championship of Online Poker per above. BLP1E.  // Timothy :: talk  02:00, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Redirect to the poker event he won. There is nothing to be found for him online outside of his win, even that is thin pickings. Oaktree b (talk) 15:10, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Also note that at the same time as inappropriately closing this discussion, Micronesian/BumbleBee made a cut-and-paste copy of this article at 2012 World Championship of Online Poker Main Event, and then closed this as a redirect to that article, effectively doing an end-run around the discussion. I have undone that as well. in case you'd like to restate, as that article no longer exists. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 15:23, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Simply redirect to the master article, the World Championship (describing all the events, not simply one year's event). Oaktree b (talk) 15:26, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Speedy delete: G5: Sockpuppet of The Micronesian-Corsican Revolution UtherSRG (talk) 19:05, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * As I pointed out elsewhere but restating for the benefit of this discussion: G5 is not valid as the creator was not under sanctions at the time of the article's creation. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:44, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Redirect to master article World Championship of Online Poker as Marat Sharafutdinov. 'maratit' is just his nickname. HarukaAmaranth 春香 19:17, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Neutral on whether this page should be deleted or redirected, but Marat Sharafutdinov and Maratik should be preserved as redirects no matter what happens here. World Championship of Online Poker lists his impressive win and would be a suitable target if this page is deleted. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:44, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
