This person seems like a wonderful Wikipedian, but I do not see a claim to notability here or case for one as an author. He is unfortunately but one of many war casualties. Projectify as an obit might be an option? Star Mississippi 00:19, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Should this end up deleted, here's hoping someone adds this Wikipedian's death to Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2024. He was one of us, and he should be remembered. — Maile (talk) 02:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I remember him as a good Wikipedian, but his notability is indeed very questionable (news reports about his death fall under WP:NOTNEWS). Finstergeist (talk) 20:03, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Finstergeist, that shortcut tends to be an ambiguous WP:UPPERCASE problem. Are you thinking of the "Wikipedia is not a newspaper" and does not engage in original reporting part, or the "most newsworthy events do not qualify for inclusion" part? WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:36, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I mean the latter (+ WP:BLP1E). Finstergeist (talk) 12:51, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Sad situation, but unless coverage can be found other than in death notices, passing mentions, and Wikipedia itself, this belongs elsewhere rather than as a Wikipedia article. Persingo (talk) 01:01, 21 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: Is there a potential WP:NAUTHOR pass here? Curbon7 (talk) 03:48, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per the others above. A summary of his current Wikipedia article could be copied to Wikipedia:Deceased Wikipedians/2024. Some1 (talk) 23:16, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  There is a discussion there - WT:Deceased Wikipedians#Yuri Lushchai. Jay 💬 07:10, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete: my saddest vote to date (maybe ever) but nothing to meet WP:42 (yes, he was 42). RIP ♡ .. what a legend! FuzzyMagma (talk) 13:48, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
