A badly-translated lift from an other wiki. a bio of a Soviet-era major-general. The body of the article is just a list of positions held, the 3 citations are used to confirm that the man exists, not to establish notability in any way. Zaathras (talk) 00:48, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Snow keep. Per WP:ANYBIO. He received the Order of the Red Banner and Order of Lenin, both respectively at their time the highest civilian decoration in the USSR (Red Banner was the highest until the establishment of the Order of Lenin). His Russian article should have been consulted. —МандичкаYO 😜 02:08, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. A senior Soviet figure with plenty of sources. It’s not ‘badly translated’ at all. There’s nothing wrong with it (perhaps because of cleanup after this AfD was opened). Mccapra (talk) 05:58, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, the article has been significantly improved. Thank you Spokoyni and Мандичка GizzyCatBella🍁 06:11, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Note: Article has been cleaned up and improved considerably by Spokoyni. —МандичкаYO 😜 02:25, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
- Keep. Head of the finance and planning department of the NKVD, deputy head of the Gulag system, in charge of the financial planning works of such mega Stalinist projects as the White Sea–Baltic Canal and the Baikal–Amur Mainline and the system of camps that provided the forced labour for them. Notable enough to have his biography in a string of works such as "Великая Отечественная война. Большая биографическая энциклопедия" (The Great Patriotic War: Large Biographical Encyclopedia), Евреи в КГБ. Палачи и жертвы (Jews in the KGB: Executioners and Victims), Кто руководил НКВД. 1934-1941 (Who Led the KGB. 1934-1941), Тайна сталинских репрессий (The Mystery of Stalinist Repression), Еврей-генералий вооруженных сил СССР: краткие биографии (Jewish Generals of the Soviet Armed Forces: Brief Biographies) etc etc. Spokoyni (talk) 02:25, 23 February 2020 (UTC)
