Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oleksiy Shevchuk
- The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The result was delete. No sources showing significant coverage in multiple, reliable sources were put forward. Scope creep's analysis of sources seems to confirm that none of the current sources provide significant coverage. While there are some editors who believe this individual is notable, that belief needs to be backed up by sources to establish that notability. ‑Scottywong| [spout] || 16:02, 19 October 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. He is one of the most significant and resonant lawyers and pubic figures in Ukrainian legal sphere. There is enough references to cover the biography of the living person like this guy. Most of the sources are in Ukrainian, but I can see it's an adapted translation from Ukrainian or Russian wikipedia. Honestly saying, I'm surprised to see this article in AfD section. --Siedunovah (talk) 15:40, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- The closing administrator has a right to ignore this comment as it doesn't refer explicitly to Wikipedia policy. Subjective statements like the above are not suitable for Wikipedia. The English Wikipedia notability standards for BLP's are much higher in terms of what is required, than other Wikipedias. scope_creepTalk 16:06, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
- I consider the person described in the page discussed meets the criteria of WP:BLP. The biography is short enough to cover basic facts and doesn't violate NPOV, NOR or V. --Siedunovah (talk) 12:16, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. Oleksiy Shevchuk is a person who is considered as a lawyer and claimer of political and judicial systems in Ukraine. His personality was illuminated by independant media sources. The facts are not based on biased sources or disinformation sources. --Hanna Haid (talk) 11:33, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Comment Instead of it being entirely subjective as it, "oh, he is a lawyer, lets have a article", lets have any objective examination of coverage and the sources as they stand:
- [1]
Lawyer Oleksiy Shevchuk, who is representing Oleh Bakhmatyuk in a criminal case concerning refinancing of VAB Bank, today, 29 November, filed a complaint against..
This is a passing mention. Fails WP:SIGCOV - [2]] Confirms he is a lawyer. Fails WP:SIGCOV.
- [3]
Oleksiy SHEVCHUK, lawyer, managing partner of Shevchuk & Partners:
Small profile page. Fails WP:SIGCOV. - [4]
Alexey Shevchuk: "I used to call things by their names"
An interview. A dependent source. Primary. - [5]
In Onishchenko's and Nasirov's cases suspects are protected by the same lawyers (added)
Passing mention. Fails WP:SIGCOV. - [6]
Censor.NET was informed about this by his lawyer Aleksey Shevchuk.
Passing mention. Fails WP:SIGCOV. - [7]
said lawyer Oleksiy Shevchuk, who represents Klitschko's interests in these cases
Fails WP:SIGCOV. - [8]
"Today we informed all law enforcement agencies where Bakhmatyuk is. We have officially announced three times today, as of now, the Anti-Corruption Court, where Mr. Bakhmatyuk is and what way to communicate with him is possible… There are no grounds for any search for Mr. Bakhmatyuk. "What information that has been repeatedly reported on the Slovo i Dilo portal ... is fake," Shevchuk said
Another passing in mention in relation to his work. Fails WP:SIGCOV.
I'm not going to do the rest of them. Ref 9,10 and 11 are Non-RS. Fails WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. Like any working, he is non-notable. scope_creepTalk 15:12, 13 October 2020 (UTC)
- Keep there is really a problem with great links, however it concerns all Ukrainian lawyers and MP's. If to dig deep enough, half of the Ukrainian members of parliament are not verifiable and so on. My point is not to justify some other problems and I know it's not an argument (so please, don't bite me :) But it is a common problem, not just in this case. So, it can be helpful to focus on general notability of the person, which is easily seen even from this article. I think the article at least should be expanded as its Ukraininan corresponding version is much larger and it can help to help with Significant coverage. --Synhuliak (talk) 18:33, 13 October 2020 (UTC)

- If you look at my UA account you can see a decent contribution. However, you decided to stigmatize me on purpose to show how miserable is my account. I think such behaviour is not what is expected to be seen here. Accept my apologizes, if I made you angry. Peace :) --Synhuliak (talk) 08:56, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

- Weak delete - this is a bit tricky because I don't speak Ukrainian and can't do a thorough WP:BEFORE, but based on what's there now, there isn't a single piece of biographical coverage in the media. All his biographical info comes from professional directory or licensing listings, which can be self-submitted. His cases with his firm got coverage, and his shows have YouTube links (but oddly not media coverage), but I'd like to see a single profile of him in any media source. Otherwise this is a delete.
