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 keep. It would be great if the sources mentioned in this discussion could get moved over to the article being discussed. While the nominator might have been unfamiliar with media sources in this country, I can understand why they chose to nominate this article for a deletion discussion. It still needs work. Liz ^{Read!

Fails GNG and NBIO. Most of the sources I could find was from ""EER"", which is a non reliable website, and the other ones that aren't EER are also unreliable. The source in the article is from the Estonia government, which only tells us a little information about him and most of it is what battles he fought in. `~HelpingWorld~`^(👽🛸) 06:01, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

comment content and sources can be found from Estonian wikipedia + google search. What is "EER" and which exact sources you define unreliable? Delfi, Postimees, ERR and Õhtuleht are the 4 biggest news portals in Estonia. Pelmeen10 (talk) 06:18, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. EER and the others do not have original information, most of it is generally unrealiable. The Postimees is a interview, with not much information expect about the war in ukraine, that doesnt make him notable just because he was in a interview. Estonian Public Broadcasting has no writiers or editors mentioned which makes me believe its also unreliable and Õhtuleht is also just a interview about the ukraine war which also doesnt make him notable.`~HelpingWorld~`^(👽🛸) 06:40, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

comment You must be looking something wrong. Video interviews with him and I added the writer/editor in case you missed it: [1]-Merili Nael [2]-Marko Tooming [3]-Aleksander Krjukov [4]-Robin Roots. There are bunch of articles too and all of them have writers or editors mentioned. Pelmeen10 (talk) 19:07, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Interviews dont establish notability, not a lot of people would watch a video on something they aren't interested in.`~HelpingWorld~`^(👽🛸) 13:12, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's the national television... People can actually be notable, whether or not you are interested in them. If your neighbouring country is in a war (all things considering), you might have a completely different view. Pelmeen10 (talk) 09:20, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: EER? Do you mean ERR (Eesti Rahvusringhääling)? How on earth did you come to the conclusion that ERR is a "non reliable website"?? "Estonian Public Broadcasting has no writiers or editors", again...what? I think you really need to look into ERR before making such ridiculous claims. ExRat (talk) 22:13, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are sources for him at Lõunaeestlane here & here, Delfi, Sõdur, Baltic News Services, Kanal 2, Postimees, etc. as well as appearing in Estonian media frequently. ExRat (talk) 22:41, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
kanal2 has no information whatsoever, and for the rest of them show me what authors wrote them.`~HelpingWorld~`^(👽🛸) 13:04, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is literally a news report of him being awarded Officer of the Year by the Estonian Defence Forces...ExRat (talk) 17:12, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

An article with actual words would be better then someone awarding someone in a different language.`~HelpingWorld~`^(👽🛸) 20:16, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You were given plenty of articles "with actual words" from reliable sources. Also, a video news report from Kanal 2 is a reliable source, regardless of language. Wikipedia doesn't have tiers of preferred languages; as along as a reference is from a reliable source, they can be in any language. ExRat (talk) 07:16, 18 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - sources are adequate, per ExRat and Pelmeen10, and much of nom's rationale is apparently based on misunderstandings. Ingratis (talk) 19:30, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
