Per WP:GNG. While the story is riveting I simply cannot locate any sources mentioning the subject of the article. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 00:16, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I will be adding sources shortly - in the mean time please leave. Trotboy (talk) 10:29, 14 December 2016 (UTC) in the mean time look at the Spanish Wikipedia entry here: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abram_Pinkenzon[reply]

Comment No harm in moving the article to a draft. Unfortunately, the Spanish article isn't of much use, since it too includes no sources. The subject may be notable, but after poking around online, if they are, it's probably in non-English sources. TimothyJosephWood 14:54, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep. I think you may have only been searching using the Latin alphabet. When you search for Абрам Владимирович Пинкензон, a great many sources present themselves, including a medium length and medium-well-sourced :ru: Wikipedia article. I've added the interlanguage links to the article - five wikipedia articles in other languages exist. I will try to check the Russian sources and copy them over to this article in the near future.

Comment: One also needs to search under the diminutive name "Муся Пинкензон" as this was the name by which he was referred to in most of the Soviet publications as well as many of the modern Russian sources. The Soviets often used diminutives for younger heroes and full names for enemies (e.g. "Brave little Donnie Trump" versus "the class traitor and blasphemer Donald Frederickovich Trump").

Keep I suspected it was a language issue. Good job to Fiachra10003 for following up on that. I suppose though that I'll note I'm !voting with an admitted bias that, if we are discussing a moderately well sourced article on a topic approaching a century old, the subject is likely notable, because otherwise we wouldn't know it existed in the first place.
