Serhiy Nigoyan

Sad that he died, but a dead protester isn't really notable per WP:GNG for just ending up dead. Wikipedia isn't a memorial wall. ColonelHenry (talk) 08:41, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Peaceful protester was gunshot by Ukrainian Police. This person is notable by the fact HOW he was died. People should have access to the truth all over the world about the events happening in Ukraine. Many liars would like to deny the fact of death of this person and other person. Many liars would like to present protesters as extremists or Ukrainian nazi or something like that. Existence of this article would let keep all of them silent and would help to stop them from more lie. Definitely vote for keeping this article present. --Patlatus (talk) 11:48, 24 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Not notable? It's undoubted that his death makes a big resonance in Ukraine. Only five quotes from the Internet:

"Буду добиватись, щоб площу назвали іменем Нігояна, - Бригинець

I'll strive to name the square in Kyiv after the name of Serhiy Nigoyan — MPs Briginets ."

"У Дніпропетровстку вшанувують пам'ять загиблого Нігояна і хочуть назвати в його честь вулицю.

In Dnipropetrovsk people are commemorating deceased Nigoyan and wants to name a street in his honor ."

"Фракція ВО Свобода у Львові пропонує присвоїти звання почесного громадянина міста Львова п'ятьом загиблим активістам на вулиці Грушевського в Києві, повідомляє прес-служба партії 23 січня. Повідомляється, що звання громадянина міста хочуть привласнити загиблим Сергію Нігояну, білорусу Михайлу Жизневкому, активісту Юрію Вербицькому і ще двом невпізнаним загиблим.

...It is reported that the title of citizen of Lviv want to assign to the murdered Sergiy Nigoyan... "

"У входа в здание они установили портрет погибшего в столкновениях с милицией 22 января в Киеве активиста Сергея Нигояна.

At the entrance of the regional government building in Khmelnytskyi protesters hired a portrait of murdered by police at January 22 activist Serhiy Nigoyan ."

"Нігоян віддав життя, яке стало символом України, — Вакарчук.

Nigoyan gave his life and became a symbol of Ukraine — Svyatoslav Vakarchuk ."


 * Yes, I agree that the article should be fulfilled and YOU are welcome to do that while it's not the best way to waste time for giving references here, not in the article, especially if there're enough interwikies where from info can be taken in more easiest way than from google search.


 * redirect to 2014 Hrushevskoho Street riots per WP:BLP1E. Mangoe (talk) 13:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * If You read the quotes, maybe You can understand that there're a resonance for that death. BTW, in ukrwiki and ruwiki there're additional articles for the lists of murdered people. As I see, in enwiki there're some lazy people for whom the easiest way is to nominate an article for deletion than to contribute it. They're even not wasting time for reading the arguments. At the evening I'll complete the article. It's a pity for me that people don't want to do something to improve the article and wants from someone else to make the article better. Maybe somebody doesn't know (or have forgotten), so I'll remind that in whole Ukraine millions people are protesting, more than 21/2 month center of the capital is under protesters control (there're no police), government buildings in different regions of Ukraine are captured by protesters. Serhiy Nigoyan is first murdered activist by government forces. The resonance of that I've described above. If it's not enough for You — do what You want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.88.150.2 (talk) 13:40, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep This guy has been #1 topic in Armenia, a tiny country of 3 million, which many people don't care about. I think he is notable and deserves an article, no less than Trayvon Martin or anybody else. I will try to improve it and expand a bit. -- Ե րևանցի talk  04:40, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
