If you came here because somebody asked you to, or you read a message on a forum, please note that this is not a vote, but rather a discussion to establish a consensus amongst Wikipedia editors on whether an article is suitable for this encyclopedia. We have policies and guidelines to help us decide this, and deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments, not by counting heads (or socks).

Does not meet WP:BIO for me Optimale ^Gu 14:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. <Mithgol is a pretty cool guy> --193.19.83.9 14:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC) (ru:User:Кондрат_Пришлёпкин)[reply]
Keep. <Outstanding person, i think.> -- 89.178.100.77 14:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this could probably be speedied as a non-notable bio. Danny Lilithborne 14:59, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. <This person is a legend of the Russian Internet> Real Avatar 15:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep There are more than 55000 occasions for word "mithgol" in Google, so such article is very helpful.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.111.16.146 (talk • contribs)
Keep. <Mithgol is a legendary person, the world will suffer a loss if you delete this article>— Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.60.106.5 (talk • contribs)
Keep. The word "mithgol" already become as common noun. Sentence: "dumb as mithgol". 193.223.98.244 15:09, 23 August 2006 (UTC)(ru:User:juliy)[reply]
Delete. Appears to fails WP:BIO, information in article even seems to be trivial at best. Canadian-Bacon ^(contribs) 15:13, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I described the importance of LJ for russian bloggers in the separate text. So, essentially, "LJ" means "blog" in Russia. And Mithgol is rather well-known in russian part of LJ. (And for the note: that part of LJ is not so small, it's second one after english LJ-based blogs, AFAIR.) --88.68.33.227 15:14, 23 August 2006 (UTC) / ru:user:Oal[reply]
Keep Actually this peson became so popular even between my american friends, so they're using the verb "to mithgolize" for describing pesong, who use preventing bans. Also, there're more features of him. (ru:User:dimi.t@r)
Keep. Mithgol is a well-known person in runet, you can digg to it through Google. We got a mithgol-effects, as you've got Slashdot-effects. Please, keep it for love. 85.141.213.214 15:16, 23 August 2006 (UTC) ru:User:dj_shoo[reply]
Delete Appears to be NN, possibly more notable in Russian, but not in english. Only 561 results for mithgol when searching for english results on google --Wildnox 15:20, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Strange: http://www.google.com.ua/search?hl=uk&q=mithgol&meta= about 55 700 results! Real Avatar 15:41, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Once again I assert the importance of "english results". There are only 561 in english [1] --Wildnox 15:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Logically. However do not forget, that Mithgol is Russian-speaking, and to index hem better on russian parts Google. IMHO, about well-known Russian persons the nobility to other nationalities will not prevent. Real Avatar 15:55, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A lillte bit more if using "mithgol". But. Look at the results at the Russia-specific web-crawler. 28 373 pages. Ok, it's a bit less than Google, but they don't have Google's power. Compare the couters of your favorite search string with google and, say, altavista. --88.68.33.227 16:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC) / ru:user:Oal[reply]

I do admit mithgol has some notability in Russian, but this is the english wikipedia. What passes notability in the Russian wiki may not do so in this one. What is notable and popular in Russian speaking countries might be completely unknown in English countries and the same is true in reverse. --Wildnox 16:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, and what about some of his actions, which are ~~admirable~~ remarkable, and don't depend on the language. Like: he seems to be the only one person, who has reached the ban limit at the livejournal. --88.68.33.227 17:27, 23 August 2006 (UTC) / ru:user:Oal[reply]
Comment. There's no such thing as "subjective notability", the essay User:Uncle G/On notability talks about this. Saying it's not notable because it's not notable in English-speaking countries is not an argument, and is in fact systemic bias. I'd care more about verifiability here, however I'm not qualified to comment on it as I can't read Russian. ColourBurst 18:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know it's a bad suggestion, but you can use Babelfish for translating from Russian. I have to mention here, that the results are far from perfect and that pretty much of the text will make no sense, or even worse -- other sense, than in the original form. But it does exist. --88.68.33.227 21:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC) / ru:user:Oal[reply]

Keep. Well-known person. --194.85.178.125 15:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC) (ru:User:Fallingfree)[reply]
Strong Delete. This is a dude famous on the russian wikipedia, mentioned in a recent newspaper article on its 100,000 article achievement [2]. The man is lauded for having 3,500 edits. (gasp!!). And he is known for making a photo of a bottle of urine and posting it. He ain't no Simon Pulsifer. - CrazyRussian talk/email a.k.a. ru:user:Crz 16:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- And per ru:Мицгол hehehe - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - Kekekekeke(tm). Look at ru:Мицгол/Temp], Mithgol himself accepted that page. --88.68.33.227 18:12, 23 August 2006 (UTC) / ru:user:Oal[reply]
Delete per CrazyRussian (Mithgol?) and BJAODN this AfD!! -- Samir धर्म 16:08, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Mithgol is very famous in Russian Internet for its great project "Hypertext Fidonet" and another great actions. --Vlad Jaroslavleff 17:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Very strong delete. Here is my word of an extreme inclusionist—this person is not someone we should have an article on.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:56, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. NN and UE. --Irpen 19:06, 23 August 2006 (UTC)~~I speedified the delete as per Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Articles item 6. Clearly an attack page.~~ --Irpen 18:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's not an attack page, please take a look to Talk:Mithgol, where I explained why it is not (even Mithgol does not think so). So, please, could you remove the speedy deletion template? --Vlad Jaroslavleff 18:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To Irpen: Please note that it may not be perceived as an "attack page", since Mithgol himself accepts the existence of such article, AFAIK. --Maxxicum 18:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Famous RuNet artist. Article is well written and NPOV-compliant. —ru:user:Lvn 18:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strongest possible delete. Blast this vanity page into oblivion and salt the earth. -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 18:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per arguments provided by Jaroslavleff. Mithgol is really a well-known person, a Russian blog-phenomenon. The article needs to be watched for, though, some vandalism may easily occur there. --Maxxicum 18:48, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this IS EN.wikipedia.org, is it not? we should be judging its notability among english speakers, and from the discussion so far, it has none. ST47 18:35, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So, what about Russian Mat? About Preved? About Padonki? About Make it brief, Sklifosovskiy? And many-many other topics interesting only for Russians? --Vlad Jaroslavleff 18:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
These are phenomenae, not people. The criteria of notability is slightly different for those... -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 18:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But he is a phenomenon himself! --Vlad Jaroslavleff 18:58, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First, who said that. As it is, this article violates WP:V. Second, a "phenomenon" means here "a concept", not a "famous person". -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 19:02, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete. This would open the door for every user on every wiki, who is somehow active on the internet. Even I could get an entry that way. Errabee 21:47, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Does every user on every wiki hit the limit on something in a big online service? (Proudly) Mithgol does. --88.68.33.227 21:53, 23 August 2006 (UTC) / ru:user:Oal[reply]
  - Probably not, but there are always other circumstances that would warrant inclusion. I have a Ph.D., published several papers in internationally acclaimed journals and I am a board member of a museum of aeronautics. I doubt Mithgol could say these things for himself. And I guess every user could give reasons why he or she should be included. BTW, your continuing harrassment (by lack of a better word) of people who vote delete is starting to irritate me. Errabee 23:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Delete after trying to figure out where to put this the article doesn't pass WP:BIO or WP:RS.Whispering^(talk/c) 00:09, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong delete per... jesus, per whatever. Per what everything every person who has pushed for deletion already said. This discussion has gotten out of hand, and (almost) every "vote" from an established enwiki user has been for deletion; I have no reason to disagree with them. -- Kicking222 02:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There's something about all this heated argument I fail to understand. There are probably few gits in English-land as the source/subject is Russian. No need to get all Russian here. Until independent and respectable Engllish language articles appear to allow the wiki editor to judge its importance, I don't think it has a place in Wiki. I think an adminstrator should ban all of you lot, thus qualifying for a wiki entry. Let's get real! Strong delete per nomination. Oh, add WP:NEO to the list of reasons for striking. The page introduces a couple of them. Ohconfucius 04:39, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. MarkV 04:51, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Extremely strong delete. Tired of commenting... KNewman 05:08, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. This person was noticed some times in Lenta.ru and Computerra journals; see also blogs.yandex.ru search results per term "mithgol". He is notable enough and participated in editing this article in ruwiki (so this is not attack page) . Edward Chernenko 06:28, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Удавить нах (extremely strong delete). He doesn't pass WP:BIO (да и вообще, задолбали, ####). --the wrong man 08:30, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Extremely strong delete. The Russian version of that article (ru:Мицгол) has been deleted in compliance with WP:BIO, and I oppose its re-creation in the discussion at ru:Википедия:Восстановление удалённых страниц. The mere fact I participated in editing the temp version of the article in ruwiki does not mean this is not an attack page in enwiki; I participated in editing the temp version of the article in ruwiki because I could not tolerate some details even on a temp page and edited them out. I joined Russian Wikipedia for the first time for the only purpose to persuade the community to delete the ru:Мицгол article. I've now created an account in English Wikipedia for the same purpose. You really should blast this page into oblivion and salt the earth, as Grafikm has said already (and as it had been done in ruwiki). People trying to make you believe that I can accept what Mithgol article contains now are trolls. —Mithgol the Webmaster 09:48, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Did you really take the urine-in-mayonnaise jar picture? Why? (By the way, I am totally translating the mayonnaise jar article into English - it's stunning, though there is much OR. - CrazyRussian talk/email 12:53, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
speedy deletion. That's not a vanity page, as some local residents think. That's an attack page. Dart evader 09:58, 24 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
