Władzimir Wałoc Trubetsky

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Vanity page by a prolific spammer and sock puppeteer, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/T%C3%B5nu_Trubetsky Miacek (talk) 14:23, 3 December 2008 (UTC) Actually, I understood now that starting individual AfDs is useless, as there are so many of such 'articles' here. The guy seems to have set as his goal to create Wikipedia 'articles' for all of his family members. If he is not stopped soon, we will most probably have articles on Trubetsky's and his ancesters' favorite pets and similar things :-D. I agree that Tõnu Trubetsky is notable, but the other vanity pages should be deleted. --Miacek (talk) 14:34, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. The Rolling Camel (talk) 14:35, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - There doesn't seem to be enough WP:RS out there to support this article. I'm convinced that this man existed and was a prince of some sort, but I'm not sure if that alone can confer notability per WP:BIO. D ARTH P ANDA duel 20:04, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * All such postings by Bloomfield sock puppet farm have both notability and RS problems. And the guy wasn't a prince, I'm positive about that. In addition to having created numerous hoaxes, this person has mistaken wikipedia for a forum for Trubetskoy genealogy. --Miacek (talk) 20:42, 3 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete Regardless of who posted it, no reliable and independent sources have been presented to satisfy the requirement for verifiability and to show satisfaction of the notability requirement per WP:BIO. This is an encyclopedia, not Ancestry.com. Edison (talk) 22:56, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, "not Ancestry.com" actually applies to the whole series of Trubetskoy articles that need to be critically reviewed.--Termer (talk) 02:43, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
