Hero of Belarus

Review section
A handful of issues here - uncited text throughout and while I don't read Russian so I can't evaluate a lot of the sources used, I can tell the formatting is off - We've got two bare URLS and several refs with the title "Archived Copy". We are also told "This resolution was outlawed and replaced by Law N 288-З on May 18, 2004." with no context as to what (if anything) this changed. Hopefully we can get ahold of someone who can read the non-English languages the sources are in to help with that. Hog Farm Talk 01:42, 28 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delist. Getting such an old FA to current standards would be impossible. Wretchskull (talk) 13:40, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * We don't declare delist/keep in the FAR phase. If the article is far far below standards, the coordinators are open to move it to FARC in an accelerated fashion. FemkeMilene (talk) 21:29, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Oh, heheh, apologies! I'm a newbie to FAR, thanks for the info. Wretchskull (talk) 21:31, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Accelerated move to FARC: only 24 sources in total, many one-line paragraphs, possible contradictory info (it's outlawed, but also currently awarded..). Unless somebody fluent in Belarusian and Russian comes in to save the day of course. FemkeMilene (talk) 21:36, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Accelerated move to FARC. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to address the concerns. This was one of those FA's I wrote so long ago and while I am very happy the standards have improved, there is no way I can expand on the article itself to get it similar to (for example) the Order of Canada (similar category and one I also had a major hand in). But as time grew, my time on Wikipedia has dropped significantly. I do hope someone else will be able to give the TLC this article needs, but I agree with the others that it needs major surgery and fleshing before it can be up to snuff again.

 * I think accelerated move to FARC is probably the right call here, as this needs significant work, and the nominator agrees that while this met the criteria active at the time, this isn't particularly close to the current criteria. Hog Farm Talk 06:35, 1 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Delist, probably the accelerated process as the FAR section suggests that this is unlikely to be brought up to current standard over the course of this FAR. Only edit since being listed here is a small copyedit. Hog Farm Talk 04:35, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delist - as per what others have mentioned, needs substantial work. Deltawk (talk) 02:20, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Delist, no one working on it, and ZScout agreed with acceleration. Sandy Georgia  (Talk)
