I had redirected this to Yermolay Gamper in December last year, which was just undone. As of now, Gamper is the only Yermolay, Yermolai, Ermolai or Ermolay on English Wikipedia, so the name in its present state fails WP:NNAME, and I cannot find many, if any sources outside of dictionaries and baby name websites; the Russian language equivalent article seems to be sourced predominantly to dictionaries and there is only one source on this article that actually pertains to the name itself, which is also kind of a dictionary website, making it a WP:NOTDICT fail as well. Some of the other people listed might be notable, so I propose that the redirect be restored so that the page can be spun out if they ever receive articles, though it could also be redirected to Yermolayev, which explains the etymology.

- I understand your arguments, although I don't think that redirecting it to Gospodin Gamper was appropriate, which is why I unredirected it. I would be happier with redirecting it to Yermolayev. -- Jack of Oz [pleasantries] 22:04, 17 March 2024 (UTC)
- I'd be fine with that. In fact, it probably is more appropriate in hindsight, as it's not likely that many people will be searching for Yermolay Gamper by typing in 'Yermolay'. AllTheUsernamesAreInUse (talk) 04:04, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
