Draft:Alen Panov review in response to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation‬:‪Reviewer competent in Ukranian needed

Subject is a Ukrainian diplomat, lawyer and professor, so we need to see if his article meets WP:POLITICIAN, Wikipedia:Notability (academics), and/or the Wikipedia:General notability guideline.

  • WP:POLITICIAN says
    • "Politicians and judges who have held international, national, or (for countries with federal or similar systems of government) state/province–wide office, or have been members of legislative bodies at those levels." He doesn't meet that, he's been a consul (see below), a representative to a regional organization, and a deputy mayor.
    • "Major local political figures who have received significant press coverage."- he might meet that, he's gotten a fair amount of press.
    • WP:POLOUTCOMES says "Ambassadors are not considered inherently notable." and he wasn't an ambassador, merely a consul.
  • Wikipedia:Notability (academics) gives a long list of criteria, which I am not expert to judge. He's written 16 monographs and books, which sounds like a fair bit, but has it had an impact in their discipline? I'm going to leave this out.
  • WP:GNG is always the main criterion, it says "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject," that could be met, especially in combination with the secondary bullet of WP:POLITICIAN.

Source analysis

Ukrainian Wikipedia version!

I'm going to stop the analysis here and push the article live, as the subject clearly qualifies for a Wikipedia article. I'll include this analysis on the article talk page, as it could be useful in case it is nominated for deletion, or if someone wants to expand the article further. It does need expansion.
