Keep. Passes WP:NPOL as a former prime minister, albeit of a country recognized by almost nobody other than Russia. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 18:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Eastmain: LPR was a at best a proto-state but certainly not initially. Panam2014 (talk) 18:22, 3 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
An earlier version of the article at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Vasily_Nikitin&oldid=1123783394 had additional references, some of which were removed because an editor thought they were not reliable.

Delete. NPOL does not extend "inherent" notability to the heads of provisional breakaway governments that aren't internationally recognized as legitimate — it extends notability only to the leaders of recognized governments, while leaders of unrecognized governments get no instant free passes and have to actually be shown to pass WP:GNG. So an article would be perfectly fine if he could be shown to have considerably more reliable source coverage than this — but as written, this is based 4/5 on primary sources that aren't support for notability at all, and the one footnote that does appear to be a valid source isn't enough all by itself.

Delete per Bearcat. --Yakudza (talk) 16:22, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

 *'''Delete'''. NPOL does not extend "inherent" notability to the heads of provisional breakaway governments that aren't internationally recognized as legitimate — it extends notability only to the leaders of ''recognized'' governments, while leaders of unrecognized governments get no instant free passes and have to actually be shown to pass [[WP:GNG]].
