WP:COATRACK article with possible WP:BLP concerns. EyeSerene^talk 09:03, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and Redirect to Vladmir Putin - I can't see that this company is particularly notable, and as the nom. says, there are possible BLP issues, but as Putin worked there for eight years, it could be covered in his article. Claritas § 09:11, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Putin didn't work there for 8 years - "What is known about Putin's involvement in SPAG is this: Company officials acknowledge that Putin took a place on the company's supervisory board in his capacity as deputy mayor in charge of St. Petersburg's foreign economic relations in the early 1990s. But they have downplayed the post as an "honorary position" that did not involve participating in the company's day-to-day operations." Everything else is conjecture, nothing is confirmed. Instead of quoting the entire article, the creator has selectively chosen bits and pieces in order to paint a certain POV (read below). --Russavia ^{I'm chanting as we speak} 12:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Another of this users articles done under what I can only assume is an advocacy crusade. The company itself is not notable, and the Ukrainian transcripts are a major WP:BLP issue. Do not redirect to Vladimir Putin or anywhere else, but an outright delete. --Russavia ^{I'm chanting as we speak} 10:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I wasn't aware this is part of a crusade - if I'd known I might have speedied the article (A7, possibly also G10). I won't bypass the discussion process now it's started, but if any admin more familiar than I am with current XfD practice feels this can be wrapped up early, I have no objections :) EyeSerene^talk 11:48, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Unfortunately, issues raised with the article creator over a range of issues have all gone unanswered, and have been warned by admins.
Delete per nom. Satisfies COATRACK and is a BLP concern. It is also mentioned in a section of his article already. A Russian Wikipedia sub-Putin article, which I can't paste the link to in here (Translated: The work of Vladimir Putin's government of St. Petersburg ( Leningrad)), covers the event as well but it is a sub-article and with better content. --NortyNort (Holla) 11:59, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete. Just leave the article there, it is notable, the President of Russia was affiliated with it. Comments above state that the article isn't notable, but there isn't any qualification for the lack of notability, other than saying "it is not notable". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.41.164.24 (talk) 00:24, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
