Yaroslav Hunka: This man is famous as of yesterday for one event .  Not notable.  cagliost ( talk ) 06:46, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] * Keep .  It is preferable that the page be renamed the "Yaroslav Hunka Affair" or "Yaroslav Hunka Controversy" and go into detail on the whole incident instead as it affects more than just Mr. Hunka.  Factchecker72946482 ( talk ) — Preceding undated comment added 02:26, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] * Keep .  Removing this summary from Wikipedia will remove one of the most detailed summaries about this Nazi from the internet, which will aid conspiracy theorists and the like.  Having a detailed summary (including that he continued to be an activist for officers like himself in later life) is important to the understanding of a major political scandal surrounding the most important war of the twenties.  Jamesjansson ( talk ) 03:47, 27 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] * Delete , This article is defamatory harrassment and it infringes on the privacy of mr.

But, he is a classic example of washing up the Ukrainian/SS-Galizien history of genocide and crimes against the humanity.  Shall be kept in place.  157.231.243.194 ( talk ) 07:32, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] I agree.  Making the atrocities of the Nazis is paramount to the education of all generations and the prevention of such horrors happening again - I hope.  Not a perfect model, but one that can help.  2607:FEA8:E2C0:61E0:B0C5:22CC:2429:37FF ( talk ) 21:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete or rename and rewrite , as the defined subject is not a notable individual.   — Michael Z .  13:42, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] :*The individual is notable as he and his attendance at the Canadian parliament and the praise given him by the Canadian house speaker, makes him notable.   his presence in Canada along with others from Division or the SS 14th Waffen Division is also notable and worthy of mention in this article as well.  208.123.202.108 ( talk ) 14:19, 26 September 2023 (UTC) :*This assertion is false.

But even if there isn't, I think the controversy surrounding his summon to Parliament is receiving such a great deal of attention that's going to be known for a long time that it's notable.

However, the event seems notable.  I'm not sure we've shown that it's lasting effects, so WP:NOTNEWS may apply.  Could we roll it into an article about the visit as a whole?  At least until we have evidence it's an event with sustained effects?  Lots of arguments in the comments that to not reference any Wikipedia policy.  glman ( talk ) 16:18, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] * Keep .   While the recent incident has certainly put the spotlight on him, he has a well-documented history and as apparently had a leadership role among the Nazi-collaborator Ukrainian veterans in Canada.   Given the integral role that he's played in this national and international event, his bio is deserving of inclusion.   Note that, following this event, Poland may seek his extradition on war crimes charges.

I found it in this article.   I would be very concerned about this article being deleted.   While I agree that he has achieved national notoriety for the one event, is irrelevant.

There were more notable members of SS Galizien living in Canada and the US.  Also, it's a curious cultural phenomenon: Canada accepted many of the SS Galizien veterans in the aftermath of WWII, but the headlines appear only 70 years later.  -- Amakuha ( talk ) 17:34, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep . "Honorary Citizen" of a Ukrainian town and a philanthropist.

Deletion of this article would be politically motivated in my view.  I would like this to be kept or renamed/merged into something like the "Hunka Affair" etc.  This is a major scandal in Canada and has had international ramifications now that it appears that Poland is seeking this individual's extradition.  TheEpicGhosty ( talk ) 17:44, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Delete or Move .  This individual is only notable for one event, and as per WP:1E , the general rule is to cover the event, and not the person.  If anything, this should be covered under an article about the event.  Mr. No Funny Nickname ( talk ) 18:02, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] "only notable for one event".  That is not exactly true, it appears he has been in the media before at least in Canada; there are other sources from 2022 which noted his presence at protests against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.  Anvib ( talk ) 18:09, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep : While the subject may not have been very notable on his own for his actions during the war, the politization of him in recent times has definitely made him notable enough to keep.  At the very most, this article should be renamed/recentered around the events that took place in Canada and not in Europe.  EytanMelech ( talk ) 18:04, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep , though renaming or moving to a “Hunka controversy “ article would be acceptable.  Both the man and the controversy over his being honored in the Canadian Parliament are notable.  His individual case, which may extend to war crimes charges and trial, and the history of the SS Galizien division as a whole are complicated and nuanced.  A rational, sourced article that can help shed light on them is of significant value.

People deserve to know who was honoured by the Canadian parliament.  There are plenty of secondary sources even without the controversy to substantiate Hunka's notability.

Death Editor 2 ( talk ) 19:27, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] * Keep .  Wikipedia has plenty of articles about people who are known for one or few things - someone which is at the heart of a national/international political "incident" figures relatively high-up in the "encyclopaedia-worthy" list.  Whilst Mr Hunka may have become famous for the incident, it does not appear as if that is his only history-worthy fact, given that by definition there may well be citeable research in the near future into his actual contribution to the war/his biography between the war and showing up in the Canadian parliament.  Peter Kelford ( talk ) 19:29, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - BLP1E doesn't apply for the following reasons: Hunka was the central figure in the event, rather than being only incidentally involved.  The controversy occurred in large part due to Hunka's overall biography and personal history, rather than some specific action he took during his visit to the Canadian Parliament.  The reporting on Hunka in many cases covers his entire life as relevant to the central controversy rather than merely for color.  Many journalists have focused specifically on Hunka's past and thus his life story has now become notable, even if he only originally gained widespread public attention due to his Canadian Parliament appearance.  Hunka has been profiled as an individual in both Canadian and international media.  Hunka has become involved in other events beyond his initial appearance at the Canadian Parliament.  The Polish government has publicly announced that it is investigating him and may seek to extradite him to Poland.  This constitutes another event in which Hunka has been implicated and of relevance to this article.  Accordingly, the article should be kept and not moved to another name referring only to a single incident.  D. Benjamin Miller ( talk ) 19:40, 26 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply  ] 1. Anthony Rota is the central figure.  2. seems to contradict your 1 if the subject’s actions at the event were not central.  He’s in the news because the speaker acknowledged him; not because he was a person present at the event, and not because he’s one of the  one of the Canadian immigrants who’d been members of the Galicia Division.  3. The biography seems to be based on one blog post by the subject, reporting about the blog post, and incidental mentions elsewhere.  4. Here’s the crux: is there any SIGCOV from before the current event?  5. One Polish minister tweeted.  I’m not aware that the Polish government announced anything.   — Michael Z .  02:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep per
