Admiral of the Fleet of the Russian Federation[edit]

fake rank --sk-ru (talk) 01:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No evidence that it's an erroneously created rank; a search turned up no sources that mistakenly used the term. Otherwise this page is mostly OR. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 01:48, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I searched for it on Google, and found a wiki article with that text in it: History of Russian military ranks. Basketball 110 _{what famous people say} 02:13, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see the text in there anywhere. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's there, but wikipedia is not a reliable source. Just because it's here doesn't mean it's real. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 05:23, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge and redirect to Admiral of the Fleet (Russia) (apparently the next lower rank, the highest documented rank remaining in the Russian Navy). It does exist (Vladimir Vysotsky (Admiral) is the incumbent), and to the extent that this is worth mentioning, it's worth mentioning there. --Dhartung | Talk 06:33, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
yes, Admiral of the Fleet is highest rank in Russian Navy, but Vysotsky not Admiral of the Fleet, he Admiral. Last Russian Admiral of the Fleet is Vladimir Masorin. --sk-ru (talk) 19:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I see now. I was confusing role with rank. --Dhartung | Talk 20:34, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, there is no such rank. The rank of the Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union was not replaced with one for the Russian Federation after the disbandments of the Soviet Fleets.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 11:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
