A year ago I tagged Azamat Bagatov as failing notability. Nobody has improved and a WP:PROD was removed. I tried my best just now to expand that article, adding a reception section, but I don't think there is enough out there to warrant keeping this. I did propose a merge but with 4 votes to merge and 2 to keep at Talk:Borat it was eventually declined. Given that, I think we need a trial by fire here. I think the 'analysis and reception' section I wrote could be merged (note it is not even about the character as much as about one popular scene that he shares with the main character anwyay); nothing else seems useful (plot summary already exists in the movie article). The sentence about why the actor refused to play in the sequel could be merged there (I note that there is a different explanation in the sequel than the one we have here). _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:45, 2 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Given the relist and no comments I'll ping registered editors who participated in the merge discussion: @Wretchskull, Chariotsacha, DKSN123, TheTrainCrazyMan, The helper5667, and Levi OP: --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 03:39, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The first three citations include enough coverage that makes me think notability has been established. CT55555(talk) 05:02, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The first three citations - that includes the Youtube clip ""Ali G + Borat - Dog Contest ( Super Funny )", currently #3 in the article? :P _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:28, 10 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Since my comment, I think someone has added one in third place, so right now, I'm taking about citations 1, 2 & 4. CT55555(talk) 04:09, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. The sources seem more about the actor, and/or are interviews with the actor about the role. It's all very ONEVENTish/PRIMARY (INTERVIEW)/plot summarish. And in the end it's mostly about the "wrestling match between butt-naked men" scene. One scene does not make a character notable, IMHO. _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:19, 17 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Merge I don't think the WP:GNG is met. The reception focuses on a scene from the movie and that would be an appropriate merge target. Shooterwalker (talk) 17:21, 9 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Borat. Not enough sources to warrant keeping this by itself. The little sources that are about it are really about Borat and not about the minor character. --Jamarast (talk) 09:54, 16 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
