WP:BLP which is making extremely serious allegations of criminal behaviour against its subject without citing any reliable sourcing to support them. He appears to have a legitimate notability claim per WP:NPOL, so I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with Bulgarian language skills is willing to vacuum-pack it with airtight reliable sourcing for the pedophilia claims -- but we have no business even alleging something like this about a living person without properly referencing it. The claims were present in the article right from the jump, as well, so there's no clean version I can revert to either. Again, I'm happy to withdraw this if somebody who can read Bulgarian is willing to fix it right away, but the WP:BLP sensitivities here override any other consideration: if the pedophilia stuff is true then we need it properly sourced immediately, and if it isn't then the article needs to be deleted and restarted from scratch.

Keep. I added some of the sources from the article in the Bulgarian Wikipedia at bg:Владимир Кузов. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:59, 8 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep in principle. Bearcat has it right; this needs to either be heavily sourced or have WP:BLOWITUP enacted, quickly. He does seem to meet WP:NPOL regardless. —⁠烏⁠Γ ^(kaw) │ 00:03, 09 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - but at the very least, remove any poorly sourced claims per BLP vio. Article needs some serious clean-up if it stays in mainspace. I looked at Reuters but they have a disclaimer about verifiability of the Bulgarian news sources. I found Diplomatic Observer which states on their site they are members of the Press Council and abide by their "professional principals". In the last paragraph of their article, they say Kuzov was expelled for pedophelia Jan 30, 2006 but that's about it. ^Atsme _Talk 📧 16:39, 12 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
