Talk:Boris Berezovsky (businessman): Difference between revisions

{{talkTalk header|search=yes}}

*Not a my favourite topic to meddle in, but really, if Berezovsky is mentioned in the whole bunch of sources connecting him to libel tourism, and there are no sources which defend the opposite view, why delete it from the article? Also, I should say that enforcing consensus by sheer numbers against all logic and posting inappropriate stuff on talk pages is not the way to handle contentious issues.
