Dead Russian generals

March 19 ⁠— “A fifth Russian general has reportedly been wiped out by Ukrainian defenders amid the ongoing invasion by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s forces of Ukraine. The latest general from Putin’s side to reportedly die in combat in Ukraine is Russian Lieutenant-General Andrei Mordvichev, …

Already there is a Wikipedia article. Several, in fact, in eight languages, so far.

No photo yet, although the Chinese WP has uploaded one as fair use.

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Russian_generals_killed_during_the_2022_invasion_of_Ukraine  This one is nominated for deletion. It also includes one “disputed” that has seemingly been debunked. Now that there are five generals on the list instead of three, this seems a likely “keep”, probably “no consensus”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_Russian_generals_killed_during_the_2022_invasion_of_Ukraine

The Russian language article for Oleg Mityaev has been nominated for deletion. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Митяев, Олег Юрьевич   https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:К_удалению/16_марта_2022#Митяев,_Олег_Юрьевич

…but the last comment says “keep”, because otherwise will have to delete a lot from this list.  https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Категория:Генерал-майоры (Российская Федерация)  [Category:Major Generals (Russian Federation)]

Likewise the Russian language article for Andrey Sukhovetsky seems to be shaping up as “keep conditionally for 8 months”.  Looks like someone is also making a case based on page views, which is now down to around 5,000 a day, from a high of over 40,000 a day.  Looks like they are also referring to Ukraine as a military “operation” as is the proper term for official Russian channels, although maybe someone who speaks Russian can confirm the terminology. https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Суховецкий, Андрей Александрович  https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Википедия:К_удалению/4_марта_2022#Суховецкий,_Андрей_Александрович

Likewise some of the photos have been nominated for deletion, which will presumably be accomplished after they have served their purpose, if at all.
