Yorick and Yurick

Reluctantly nominating this for deletion. The primary policy reason is a failure to assert notability. However, it also reads, to me, as an incoherent mix of personal essay, unverifiable speculation, novel synthesis, and conspiracy theory. I've attempted to explained my concerns to the article's creator (here and here), but see no particular signs of understanding or attempts to remedy the issues despite a flurry of other edits to the article, over several days, afterwards. I've also asked for help from WikiProject Soviet Union, WikiProject Russia, and the Soviet and post-Soviet cinema task force of WikiProject Film. The only response from the wikiprojects was a concurring opinion and suggestion that the article be deleted.

The article's creator has indicated that they will be away from editing for several months, so they will be unable to function as an advocate for the article. They are also not fluent in English (I'm assuming their native language is Russian) and the language barrier is an impediment to understanding here. Please keep this in mind when you assess the issue. Xover (talk) 06:04, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Not sure of correct format for this note, but I've notified the above mentioned WikiProjects of the existence of this discussion. --Xover (talk) 06:10, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * Strong delete Utterly incoherent. Section two begins. "The cause of investigations: Before 1995 Razvedupr and the former Soviet Intelligence subdivisions understood that the attempt to use another person instead of Jesus Christ failed." Wtf? Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:53, 6 July 2017 (UTC)

 * In this case "Jesus Christ" was a putative code name used by the "intelligence agencies". Loopy30 (talk) 18:36, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, thank you. Well, I still think G1 might apply. We'll see. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:27, 6 July 2017 (UTC)


 * I think it's so bad that WP:G1 applies. Tagged as such. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 17:56, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. Any parts that could be deciphered are un-sourced and fantastical. I have started to delete similar ramblings at Kartamyshevska street. Loopy30 (talk) 18:29, 6 July 2017 (UTC)
