Vasily Gryaznov

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Incoherent translated article about a marginal individual. Speedy tag was declined by admin Wafulz. Shalom Hello 19:56, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: this is about a local saint recognized in 1999 (the monastery needs something to attract visitors). The version on ru: is equally lousy as the one here, it originally comes (with permission) from another website (warning: that website may be infected, it was trying to break into my computer).
 * Both the monastery and the saint are IMHO notable. Whether anything from the current text is salvageable is a question. Pavel Vozenilek 23:47, 1 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep and cleanup. It's a badly written article, but saints are in my opinion always notable. He's mentioned on many Church sites ( and, for instance) so verifiability is not a problem. Note: I moved an apology off the main page onto the talk page - such things shouldn't be on the main page. -- Charlene 01:21, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem is that there's nothing in the article to start from. Some information about the person is on the page of the town Pavlovsky Posad. Pavel Vozenilek 11:45, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete and start over, as it appears unsalvageable and as noted above, contains infected text. Bearian 19:22, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep and stubify - The subject is notable, and as a saint, I'd expect reliable sources could be found. The article contents, as they stand, are completely incoherent, and so removing it all and turing it into a stub would be appropriate. -- Whpq 16:32, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - subject also appears to have been the subject of a 1924 film Elder Vasily Gryaznov as per the page at http://www.inter-film.org/pdf/Databank_Ron_Hollway.pdf. Article clearly needs cleanup and referencing, though. John Carter 21:44, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep, I had a go at changing a bit to make it more readable, but there's still heaps missing Guycalledryan 08:21, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep Seems better. ¿SFGi Д nts!  ¿Complain! ¿Analyze! ¿Review! 21:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. --MaNeMeBasat 09:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
