Mikhail Pakhomov

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails to meet WP:NPOLITICIAN - he was member of Lipetsk city council to be more precise. Known for a WP:ONEVENT. XXN, 00:24, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment. The article says he was a member of parliament. Is this then inaccurate? -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:00, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, is a mistake, the result of a bad translation. In Russia a member of a city council is also often called "deputy" (депутат). Mikhail Pakhomov was only a member of Lipetsk city council: "Липецкий предприниматель и депутат городского Совета Михаил Пахомов". XXN, 16:25, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. I can imagine the possibility of his death making him more notable than the norm, given the suggestion that it may have been a politically motivated assassination — but that would require a lot more substance and sourcing than has actually been shown. As written, this literally amounts to "he lived, he died, the end", with just one reference for each part of that statement, and that's just not enough. No prejudice against recreation if somebody can do much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 23:30, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, — UY Scuti Talk  18:23, 10 February 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. A quick google search shows that there are a lot more references not included in this entry which could be used. Why delete, why not just add those in here? Deleting makes it difficult to improve the article and it is clear that that improvement is possible. Bangabandhu (talk) 16:09, 12 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep Pakhomov was a member of the a city council for a major municipality in Russia (over 500,000 residents). Given our systemic bias against non-Anglo topics, I am inclined to agree with Bangabandhu that other sources can and should be added. Moreover, his death was reported as a worldwide event, with stories in the New York Times and other major news sources.--TM 21:57, 14 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak keep -- mostly known for his death, so there's some WP:BIO1E going on, but also appears to be notable for being a shady businessman with a criminal past. Here's an extensive article in Spiegel detailing his 'career': "A Corrupt Politician's Ignoble Demise" (in English). K.e.coffman (talk) 22:26, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
