Notability tag for six months. Contested prod. Corporal who won the Cross of St. George. Potentially notable.  scope_creep Talk  16:20, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. In addition to the sources already present there are articles about his family on RFERL-affiliated Ekho Kavkaza and in Sputnik-Abkhazia . Alaexis¿question? 21:46, 3 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep has some coverage, whether its significant is debatable. Mztourist (talk) 03:32, 4 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Possible keep as a stub but this needs to be justified by more detail being provided for what is just a stub. 1.2M Cross of St. George of all classes were awarded, so that it is not a notable award.  However it is possible that his post-war service under the leader of the Abkhazia SSR might be.  He might be notable as being of mixed race, including African descent, which would be unusual there.  There appears to be a Russian WP article, but only of similar length to this one.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:04, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Those references are passing mentions and no more. I haven't seen anything yet that convinces now the Cross of St. George is not notable.   scope_creep Talk  16:24, 5 November 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep, as it has enough coverage for notabilityJackattack1597 (talk) 12:23, 21 November 2021 (UTC)
 * What coverage is that exactly?
