Hoax article or, probably, machine translation from Finnish(?). DonaldDuck (talk) 06:29, 24 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Oppose deletion. this is not a hoax but a person who held high offices, and whose short prosopography is published in the tome of Ikonnikov, at least. To find internet references to him, suffers from the variations of translitteration of his name. But not only those who have internet presence in western alphabet, are notable - also those whose biographies are published in old books, can be notable and this person is.

 * Comment: The issue was discussed at Finnish Wikipedia, see fi:Wikipedia:Kahvihuone_(sekalaista). The result was delete. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:03, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment: I see that Vejvancicky does not understand the discussion in finnish. that discussion was not a deletion vote, but a discussion about possible future articles to be created. 'Kahvihuone' is an equivalent of somne Village Pump here, and not a page where deletions can de decided. Marrtel (talk) 07:07, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the explanation, Marrtel. What was the result of the discussion? The deletion of this article from Finnish Wiki refers to the debate. Sorry for the confusion. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 07:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Comment Definitely not a hoax (that was Михаил Андреевич Голицын), just a very poor translation. Colchicum (talk) 20:23, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. I don't see how this can be salvaged. The person in question is of course Mikhail Andreyevich Galitzine. His son btw is more notable and has six articles about him scattered all over WP. --Ghirla-трёп- 21:17, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. There are enough sources found by this search, such as, to confirm that the subject was a prince and a provincial governor - way over the bar for notability. I don't see what's so unsalvageable about the article that would make it better to delete it and start again rather than build on what we've got. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:42, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
