The question still remains: why this (English) version of the page exists even after the original (Russian) version has been removed due to lack of credibility to the original (Russian) sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucidlook (talk • contribs)

Probably because nobody has started a deletion discussion on the English Wikipedia. The instructions are at WP:AFD. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:06, 23 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I think that the article in the English Wikipedia should be deleted, since the witnesses are unreliable, and there is no documentary evidence, the details are here - https://lyubimiigorod.ru/magadan/news/7493795 and here https://colonelcassad.livejournal.com/6202202.html 185.114.139.250 (talk) 09:17, 8 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[Hysterics]

User Jfire, explain your hysterical behavior - why are you not only deleting the discussion about deleting the article, but also deleting the parts of the article that are inconvenient for you? The Russian-language Wikipedia has long since deleted the article about Serpentinka, since there is no official information (including government documents) about its existence - there are only biased descriptions in fiction, including in the works of Solzhenitsyn (who was never in Kolyma and did not have access to the documents), Shalamov (his "description" was analyzed by researcher Valery Esipov https://shalamov.ru/research/217/) and others. You even deleted this proposal for deletion - this cannot be explained by anything other than political preferences. Justify your hysterical behavior. (talk) 21:35, 4 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Russian wikipedia has different policies than English wikipedia; what happens there has no bearing on what happens here. Here, our policies state that that articles that have been at articles for deletion, as this one has, are not eligible for proposed deletion. That is why I removed the proposed deletion tag. We also require that all content be sourced to reliable sources. As I noted in my edit summaries, I removed content in the "Criticism" section that had no sources, as well as content that misrepresented the cited source.
