No reliable sources found in Books or Scholar. Seems to be borderline. Taking here for consensus mainly, given that it was A7'd once and re-tagged for speedy several times. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 23:37, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- comment: just judging by the number of second hand copies floating about on bookseller websites I'd say there's a good chance there are proper references for this somewhere, it's just not on the web or anywhere else that's indexed and easily accessible. --fvw* 23:42, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- Keep — As with everything else, the ultimate question must be whether or not the proposed action makes Wikipedia better. I fail to see how deleting this article would make Wikipedia better. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 23:46, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
- How does an uncategorized microstub make Wikipedia better? Put a little effort into it. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 00:00, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Keep This particular one counters Systematic bias (and uncategorized stubs can be categorized and expanded relatively easily). I agree with fvw that it's likely this guy is notable. Any chance you run this past the Russian WikiProject just to make sure? - Mgm|(talk) 01:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
Done Dropped a note at WP:RUSSIA. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 03:14, 14 December 2008 (UTC)- Because more information is necessarily better than less information. Does that even need to be said? Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 02:32, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
- Maybe. There is such a thing as too much. There's also a thing called effort, like I said. "_____ is a _____" is about the bare minimum you can put in an article, even moreso if you forget things like categories and sources. I know that you think notability is a crock, but (at least in my opinion) an article should at least give an inkling of why they warrant an article, besides just "they exist(ed)".
