Talk:Kirov

Sergei Kirov should be mentioned on this page

He's the most famous person named "Kirov", and most of the other things on the page are named for him... AnonMoos (talk) 00:49, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

When a separate article exists for a last name, all people mentions go there. Sergey Kirov is mentioned in the Kirov (surname) article. Mentioning him here as well would be duplication, as well as run afoul of the WP:PRIMARYTOPIC guideline.—Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); February 13, 2017; 15:17 (UTC)

Requested move 1 February 2019

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page.

The result of the move request was: No consensus. There have been concerns of such a big group nominations during the discussion. Its better to open seperate discussions for each of them. (closed by non-admin page mover) Warm Regards, ZI Jony ^(Talk) 17:39, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It was proposed in this section that Kirov be renamed and moved to Kirov (disambiguation).

The discussion has been closed, and the result will be found in the closer's comment.

Kirov → Kirov (disambiguation) – In the same manner that Lenin redirects to Vladimir Lenin, Stalin to Joseph Stalin, Malenkov to Georgy Malenkov, Khrushchev to Nikita Khrushchev, Brezhnev to Leonid Brezhnev, Andropov to Yuri Andropov, Gorbachev to Mikhail Gorbachev, Yeltsin to Boris Yeltsin, Putin to Vladimir Putin, Bukharin to Nikolai Bukharin, Kamenev to Lev Kamenev, Beria to Lavrentiy Beria, Voroshilov to Kliment Voroshilov, Bulganin to Nikolai Bulganin, Shepilov to Dmitri Shepilov or Vyshinsky to Andrey Vyshinsky, so should Kirov redirect to Sergey Kirov. Everything on the disambiguation page [other than Kirov (surname)] refers to him along with everything under "See also" — Kirovsk (disambiguation), Kirovsky (disambiguation), Kirovka (disambiguation); Imeni Kirova (disambiguation); Kirovske (disambiguation); Kirovo (disambiguation), etc — there have been also streets, factories, institutions, such as the renowned ballet, all named after him — after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, most have been restored to their original names. Nearly two years ago, a mass nomination which included Kirov was unsuccessful at Talk:Kalinin#Requested move 15 April 2017. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 23:55, 1 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose this move 2601:541:4500:1760:31AE:BDD9:14A:DEA8 (talk) 18:48, 4 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Not well-known enough in the English-speaking world. Personally, if I heard this name I'd think of the ship or the ballet, even though they were named after him! -- Necrothesp (talk) 14:50, 6 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding comments used to close the above move request

There appears to have been confusion of this move request with the group nomination submitted for Talk:Kalinin#Requested move 15 April 2017, which is mentioned at the end of this move request. The above move request was, in fact, a separate discussion for one of the entries in the earlier RM, not a big group nomination. Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 19:11, 7 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
