Very few people have this surname. As far as I can tell, there should be no expectation of every surname having its own article. Additionally, there is only one person listed in this article, and they themselves are not even notable enough for their own article, so why should their surname have an article?

Russian film director. The importance of a serial (mostly) director is extremely questionable. The Russian Wikipedia article was deleted [5].--Анатолий Росдашин (talk) 22:05, 1 November 2024 (UTC)

Keep: This article should be kept because the director in question has a significant body of work, having directed multiple popular television sitcoms in Russia, a major media market. Furthermore, she has received international recognition, with awards that affirm her notability beyond national boundaries. There are plenty of references from major outlets, including Cosmopolitan and RIA Novosti. The fact that the Russian Wikipedia chose to delete the article does not diminish her achievements, as Wikipedia in different languages may have unique standards or biases—this is the English Wikipedia, which evaluates notability from an international perspective and should base its decision on the director's clear contributions to the industry and documented impact, not on the editorial decisions of other Wikipedias. It is also unfortunate to delete a page about a notable female director, as representation in media coverage is essential to recognizing the contributions of women in film and television, especially in an industry where they are historically underrepresented.

  • Delete: I just don't find coverages or even critical reception that suggest passing of WP:NFILM. An article on the film should be created only if there is enough information on it that it would clutter up the biography page of that person if it was mentioned there.

    Thank you but, in this case, are you opposed to a redirect and merge to the page about Litus? And don't you thing adding the cast and the plot there would clutter up the biography? If you think that's OK I can support that solution too. But allow me to insist that the film is noted as an important part in the career of the 2 actors mentioned above as well. Also, coverage related to Alentova in Страсть (2009) (Эксмо) and Вера Алентова. Москва слезам не верит....

  • Delete. No doubts, there was a lot of violence in Chechnya in 1991-1994, just as in many other countries. But was it specifically anti-Russian ("Russian" means ethnicity I assume) or against non-Chechens in general? Or was it at all, as a coherent subject described in RS? I do not see anything stronger that RIA News and propaganda claims that were used as a pretext for starting the First Chechen war. My very best wishes (talk) 03:54, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete. This article is not factual, it just lists Russian claims as to supposed persecution of ethnic Russians in then de facto independent Chechnya. We know that the 1990-s in ex-USSR were a tumultuous time marked, among other things, by high a level of crime and violence, but this article completely fails to show on any factual material that level of violent crime in Chechnya was any higher than elsewhere in post-Soviet countries, nor that non-Chechens suffered from it disproportionately compared to Chechens, nor, even less, that it was culturally or racially motivated and targeted specifically against ethnic Russians. The article does not cite any Chechen sources, and most of its sources are Russian official and pro-government media, that cannot be reasonably seen as a reliable source of information, especially on topics such as this, and especially now that we already know that those claims of persecution of ethnic Russians were used to create ideological pretext for the First Chechen War, the MO that Russian propaganda has employed many times since then. As such, the article fully satisfies the definition of WP:FRINGE and breaks WP:NPOV, and has no business to exist in Wikipedia in its current form. Perhaps some parts of it can be merged, with a bit of rewrite, into First Chechen War#Origins.--Goren (talk) 13:14, 31 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete per WP:SYNTH. Was there news about crime in Chechnya? Did Chechnya declare independence from Russia? Were ethnic Russians victimized by crimes? Yes, yes, and probably yes.

    @Bluethricecreamman, for sure the article contains some questionable sources but in order to decide whether it should be deleted we should be looking at the *best* ones - does the topic receive significant coverage in them. Please see the list of such sources used in the article below. Alaexis¿question? 22:41, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Strong delete The article’s content heavily relies on sources that are either state-sponsored or lack independent corroboration, specifically Russian government claims that have been widely critiqued as propaganda. Scholars have argued that these narratives were used to justify military actions, as seen in other contexts like Donbas, where Russia similarly accused Ukraine of anti-Russian "ethnic cleansing." Dunlop, for instance, who could be considered an absolute expert in Soviet and Russian politics/conflicts observes that such reports "could scarcely be imagined" as anything other than a tool to provoke conflict. The article lacks reliable, independent sources confirming such high levels of anti-Russian violence and over-relies on Russian official narratives. As such, it fails to meet the standards expected in journalistic, scholarly, historical, or Wikipedia contexts. As others have pointed out, the article does not establish that violence in Chechnya disproportionately targeted ethnic Russians or was driven by racial animus rather than broader post-Soviet instability. As it stands, the article primarily echoes state propaganda without balanced perspective or credible verification, making it unsuitable in its current form. Additionally, I have presented substantial evidence on the talk page, dissecting several of the article’s claims as fringe or unreliable. Ola Tønningsberg (talk) 18:31, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
    That's not true. The core claims are supported by solid RS (see the section below). Alaexis¿question? 22:34, 7 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Delete This article has been up for an unnecessary amount of time despite it containing outright Russian state propaganda sources, i recommend people to read the talk page where many sources are dissected and shown to be propaganda or the sources do not mention what is in the article. This article started as an almost copy paste version of the same article on the Russian Wikipedia site, and even there the article was eventually deleted due to it's poor use of sources (link), as is the case with this version on English Wikipedia. If you want a small glimpse on the sources then check the sources for this extreme claim that "At least 46,000 individuals became de facto slaves", source number one is Russian state propaganda channel called "Vesti" which is now blocked in many countries. The second one is a Russian blog/news site called "www.ng.ru" which is not known for its unbiased reporting. Goddard2000 (talk) 14:43, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

[edit]

The core claims of the article are based on RS such as

  • Chechnya. Calamity in the Caucasus. By Carlotta Gall, Thomas de Waal · 1998 (just added to the article)
  • Chechnya. Life in a War-Torn Society by Valery Tishkov, University of California Press, 2004 (just added to the article)
  • Hughes, James (2013). Chechnya: From Nationalism to Jihad
  • Dunlop, John Barrett (1998). Russia Confronts Chechnya: Roots of a Separatist Conflict. Cambridge University Press.

Basically every books that describes the situation in Chechnya in 1991-1994 talks about it. Alaexis¿question? 22:37, 7 November 2024 (UTC)

1. Calamity in the Caucasus by Carlotta Gall and Thomas de Waal, far from fully support claims of ethnic violence, actually highlights how Russia’s narrative around Chechnya conflated general crime with targeted ethnic violence to justify military action. Gall and de Waal note that Russians left primarily due to economic collapse and social changes rather than a targeted campaign. While they mention violence, they point out that Chechens, Dagestanis, Jews, Armenians, and others also suffered. The authors cite the Russian Interior Ministry (surely not RS) and the White Book—but critique the White Book sharply, calling it “misleading” for presenting general post-Soviet crime as anti-Russian policy. They argue it was central to Russia’s propaganda, selectively portraying events to legitimize intervention by framing Chechens as inherently violent. The White Book has already been debunked by Dunlop to be unreliable and state propaganda in the talk page of the article, which I recommend people to read.
2. This view aligns with John B. Dunlop’s findings in Russia Confronts Chechnya: Roots of a Separatist Conflict, as he directly challenges the idea of "anti-Russian violence" or "ethnic cleansing," showing how these narratives were pushed by Russia to justify intervention and frame Chechens as aggressors. So I don't know why you even mention him as a source for this.
3. Tishkov’s position within the Russian state apparatus raises doubts about his impartiality. Tishkov notably even acknowledges meeting with Putin and receiving a briefing on Chechnya in 2000. While Tishkov references respected scholars like Dunlop and Lieven—who have critiqued false Russian claims of targeted ethnic violence—he does nothing to engage with their critiques, instead leaning on the Russian narrative. Even Tishkov’s own statements seem to undermine the article’s core claims of ethnic violence. For example, on page 91, he admits that “early victims of the Chechen ‘national revolution’—Russians living in Grozny—were victims not because of their ethnicity but because they had attractive possessions,” indicating that violence wasn’t ethnically targeted. He also acknowledges that other ethnic groups, including Chechens, were frequently victims of violence, which suggests that the post-Soviet instability affected a broad range of communities. Given these critiques he is not a reliable source on this subject, as there are better sources which I have already quoted in the talk page of the article as well as here
4. Hughes, James (2013). Chechnya: From Nationalism to Jihad, he's literally quoting Tishkov as a source. Ola Tønningsberg (talk) 18:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
Yes, exactly. My very best wishes (talk) 20:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
First of all, it's perfectly possible for something to be at the same time real and exploited by propaganda. In fact this is how propaganda usually works, it takes a kernel of truth and then spins a narrative around it.
On the meta level, the argument "source X uses Russian data, therefore we can disregard it" is fallacious. Scholars use interviews, primary sources, Chechen data, Russian data when writing books. If a distinguished scholar like Jim Hughes uses Tishkov in a book published by University of Pennsylvania Press it's a violation of WP:OR to say "I think Tishkov is untrustworthy, therefore this source should be discarded".
Gall and De Waal make it clear that Russians were the most vulnerable group (p.115)
As to Dunlop, he has a whole chapter called Toward an ethnocratic Chechen state. He also makes it clear that the Russians were suffering more than the natives (p. 137)

. Alaexis¿question? 22:30, 10 November 2024 (UTC)

It’s not merely that sources "use Russian data". The issue is when they rely on data produced or manipulated by state actors known for using such claims to advance political aims. In the case of Tishkov, his government ties and lack of engagement with the critiques of this leads the question of impartiality. If Hughes cites Tishkov without a critical lens, this doesn’t elevate Tishkov’s objectivity. It rather shows that Hughes’s work may inherit some of these biases. That's why you prioritize much better sources like Dunlop who have conducted the investigative and analytical work. Additionally, while Gall and De Waal note that Russians were a vulnerable group, they do not equate this with ethnic cleansing or widespread, targeted ethnic violence. In fact, Gall and De Waal specifically mention that Russians left Chechnya due to economic collapse and social upheaval, rather than ethnic targeting. Moreover, they emphasize that post-Soviet criminality affected Chechens and other ethnicities as well, making it clear that the instability was a broader societal issue, not a campaign directed solely against Russians. If you claim otherwise then this is simply WP:OR on your part.
Regarding Dunlop’s mention of an “ethnocratic state,” this simply refers to a government dominated by the majority ethnic group, i.e the Chechens. The lines you’re quoting aren’t Dunlop’s own words, they’re an excerpt from an essay by “Vadim Korotkov” (whom I could not find any information about). Dunlop includes this perspective to present various viewpoints, but he doesn’t endorse it as fact. In fact, he goes on to clarify that Russians were not the only victims of criminality in Chechnya, Chechens themselves also suffered. Dunlop later even estimates that the true number of Russian victims during those years is likely fewer than 100, directly challenging mass anti-Russian violence. He dedicates a whole section to refuting this myth. So your interpretation of his work seems like a reach. Ola Tønningsberg (talk) 18:09, 11 November 2024 (UTC)

Last Afd closed no consensus largely on the validity of the Independent Music Awards (IMAs) (now deleted) but they are not a major award and are not even a notable award. None of the many listed charts are GOODCHARTS. Refbombed sources lack independent coverage in reliable sources. Curated by a single SPA who despite being blocked is still updating this PR. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:17, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

lol 'prestigious' is a word that barely exists outside press releases - if you see it in a news item it's a giveaway that the piece is probably churnalism. Things which are genuinely prestigious (Nobel, Emmy etc.) are never described as 'prestigious'. Mccapra (talk) 16:00, 28 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Delete: winning non-notable awards doesn't help notability here. Other than the 2024 "win", this is still the same quality of biography we saw during the last round at AfD. I've read up a bit more on these "awards", they don't seem terribly important. Nor do most of the charted albums/songs hit on charts that we recognize. Oaktree b (talk) 19:13, 28 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep. An article about Roman Miroshnichenko is included in The Great Jazz Guitarists encyclopedia, edited by Scott Yanow. --Yakudza (talk) 17:34, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
  • Very weak keep In duo with Grammy-nominated guitarist Mike Stern, Roman Miroshnichenko has won the Best Jazz Award of the USA Songwriting Contest: serious world-class achievement mentioned in the top news of All About Jazz - the largest jazz portal in the world. Also, he is a Guinness Records holder, which is more than a notable award. Along with John Williams, Allan Silvestry, and Hans Zimmer, he was the nominee for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards. Not a big deal, too? He has recorded with the London Symphony at Abbey Road studio, just think for a moment. He is also a Recording Academy/Grammy Voting Member, where only outstanding musicians and experts are allowed. He is the winner of the Film Music Contest, the largest competition in media music in Europe. These are just undeniable facts that can make less fortunate colleagues nervous. All facts are in the public domain.

  • Weak keep I do agree that the article is very obnoxious and and been refbombed to hell(98 references!?). It could probably use some work to move towards a more neutral view, to read the article would make you think this guy is one of the best musicians in the world. But I do believe he barely passes GNG. Winning the international songwriting competition and the article in The great Jazz guitarists certainly help, although are not too well known. The fact that he has won so many awards speaks to his notability even though most are quite unknown. GoldMiner24 Talk 02:00, 5 November 2024 (UTC)
    Winning so many awards speaks more to his entering so many contests and to his skills. Ability does not make one notable unless it receives independent coverage. duffbeerforme (talk) 00:39, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
    • Keep He has truly made his mark on the music world. Teaming up with Grammy-nominated guitarist Mike Stern, he recntly won the Best Jazz Award at the USA Songwriting Contest, a big honor that even made headlines on All About Jazz, the world's largest jazz portal. His list of achievements keeps growing: he's a Guinness World Record holder, a Grammy Voting Member, and has even been nomnated for the Hollywood Music in Media Awards alongside John Williams, Alan Silvestri, and Hans Zimmer. He's also recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra at the iconic Abbey Road Studios and took home the top prize in Europe's biggest media music competition - the Film Music Contest. It's safe to say that Miroshnichenko's accomplishments speak for themselves.

  • Delete I am not finding 2-3 independent and substantial sources. First, the IMAs web site is no longer in existence, so we can scratch that as a major award. The Global Music Awards are a Pay-Fer award in which everybody seems to win at least bronze, and it runs 4x a year. The HMMA are also pay-fer, and likely self-nomination. The Jazz Corner is a crowd-sourced fan site. Songwriting Competition is another pay-fer. AllAboutJazz site (cited multiple times but not named in citation) allows artists to pay to advertise or have articles about them, for $$. Basically, this guy enters every inexpensive contest, uses all of the available promotion sites. Bravo! as a self-promoter. Lamona (talk) 20:19, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
    Grasmmy Awards 92.243.182.120 (talk) 14:03, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
  • Keep Among the winners and nominees of most of the above awards in article are such world stars as Jason Mraz (USASC), Meghan Trainor (USASC), Al Di Meola (USASC), Ian Anderson (USASC), Gino Vanelli (USASC), Jami Alimorad (USASC), Dave Koz, Paul Wertico, George Benson, Foreigner, Hans Zimmer (HMMA), John Williams (HMMA), Alan Silvestri (HMMA), Carlos Santana (HMMA), Lady Gaga (HMMA). Are they "self-nomintaed" and "pay-fer" too? It is also worth noting that the Grammys also have many self-nominated artists and there is an option to pay for entry from 45 to 150 USD depending on the proximity of the deadline. Most of the above awards are listed on ASCAP's list of the most notable and influential music competitions and awards: ascap.com/help/music-business-101/songwriting-competitions
Not to mention the Guinness World Record, the encyclopedia "Great Jazz Guitarists" published by the largest book distributor Hal Leonard and the many celebrities with whom this truly outstanding world-class guitarist performed.

  • The ASCAP page lists "songwriting competitions" which "...provide networking opportunities and inspiration for your work." It says nothing about them being notable, influential, or important. Lamona (talk) 23:28, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

This is not a distinct phenomenon, but rather a local name for swell surge used in coastal Kerala, also known by various names in other parts of the world. Presenting it as a distinct phenomenon is scientifically inaccurate. Additionally, this is not the Malayalam Wikipedia. Per WP:CFORK, this is an unnecessary content fork. The Doom Patrol (talk) 13:50, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

Comment Fair enough, and I agree that this would be better treated as a more general topic, but I note that Swell (ocean) does not actually contain the term "swell surge", and does not seem to cover this type of phenomenon. Thus more a case for rewriting and generalizing than for redirecting or deleting? --Elmidae (talk · contribs) 14:36, 22 October 2024 (UTC)

  • Merge: The article primarily focuses on the swell phenomenon specific to the South Indian coastal region and its local name, "Kallakadal," within the broader context of swells. This is the main distinction highlighted in the article. I recommend merging this content with the Swell (ocean) and adding a brief section under a new headline to address this regional phenomenon (if required).--— MimsMENTOR talk 15:23, 6 November 2024 (UTC)
