Article

Hi. Looking through some Google search results, I see a few results that suggest this person is plausibly notable [1] [2] [3]. Speedy doesn't seem appropriate; either improving the article or going through AfD seem better. Thanks, William Pietri 01:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing. I've placed a more appropriate tag, so if the creator of the article can't establish notability, then I'll go through AFD. VanTucky 01:49, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved to Jeff Melnyk and disambiguation page moved to Melnyk, per discussion below. - GTBacchus^(talk) 21:20, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Melnyk → Melnyk (music producer) — Precision and disambiguation. Melnyk is a Ukrainian word means miller and very common surname in the Ukraine and Russia.Mike melnyk (talk) 21:23, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Move as suggested. We already have Melnyk, Andriy Melnyk, and Eugene Melnyk articles, with many others possible. The current Melnyk should really redirect to Melnyk (disambiguation) for ease of navigation. Doc Tropics 23:29, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Support and replace with disambiguation page. 64.229.102.230 (talk) 04:38, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Of the current uses of Melnyk here it seems that the composer is the one ordinarily known by the single word name while the others are known by their first and last names. A Google search seems to confirm this. The greatest potential confusion appears to be with Eugene Melnyk but the hits on Melnyk in that context also seem to give the first and last name. Adding a specific disambiguation for Eugene Melnyk to Melnik would resolve the most likely case without moving the composer from his normal name. It'll get more interesting if we have another person or organisation primarily known by just the name Melnyk. Jamesday (talk) 08:46, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose proposed title. I would support moving to Jeff Melnyk. There is no indication from reliable sources that this person is even notable, let alone that he is commonly known by the single word. The only reference provided in the article is a broken link to a personal website. The only Google results that turn up for the person are sites such as Linked in, Twitter, and Myspace or for the company that he owns -- none are independent sources. The article at Melnyk (surname), formerly at Melnyk (disambiguation), should also be moved to Melnyk. older ≠ wiser 15:24, 4 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Eugene Melnyk is NOT Eugene Melnik, so it would be incorrect to use Melnik. Btw, Lord Melnyk and Melnykites is related to Andriy Melnyk. I agree with Bkonrad there are no independent sources to confirm Jeff Melnyk is commonly known by the single word. It is one of reasons why I started this discussion. (talk)
Agree with older/wiser - move to Jeff Melnyk and move the surname article to Melnyk.--Kotniski (talk) 13:13, 11 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
