The result of the move request was: Zhdanov is moved to Zhdanov (disambiguation) and Zhdanov is redirected to Andrei Zhdanov. ~ Winged BladesGodric 13:57, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]


ZhdanovZhdanov (disambiguation) – In the same manner that Lenin redirects to Vladimir Lenin, Stalin to Joseph Stalin, Malenkov to Georgy Malenkov, Khrushchev to Nikita Khrushchev, Brezhnev to Leonid Brezhnev, Andropov to Yuri Andropov, Gorbachev to Mikhail Gorbachev, Yeltsin to Boris Yeltsin, Putin to Vladimir Putin, Bukharin to Nikolai Bukharin, Kamenev to Lev Kamenev, Beria to Lavrentiy Beria, Voroshilov to Kliment Voroshilov, Bulganin to Nikolai Bulganin, Shepilov to Dmitri Shepilov or Vyshinsky to Andrey Vyshinsky, so should Zhdanov redirect to Andrei Zhdanov who was considered to be Stalin's successor and propagator of the Zhdanov Doctrine. Everything on the disambiguation page [other than Zhdanov (surname)] refers to him and many other references — Zhdanovsk, Russia; Zhdanovsky Island; Zhdanovskaya (district); Zhdanovskaya (Moscow Metro); Zhdanovskaya (railroad station); Zhdanovskaya (locomotive depot); Zhdanov Shipyard, Russia; Zhdanov Shipyard, Ukraine; Zhdanivska coal mine; etc — are not even listed there. Over a year ago, a mass nomination which included Zhdanov was unsuccessful at Talk:Kalinin#Requested move 15 April 2017     Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 04:18, 1 June 2018 (UTC).    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 04:18, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Malenkov became Stalin's successor upon Stalin's death in March 1953 and served as General Secretary until February 1955. More than sufficient to qualify.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 12:56, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Mariupol is no longer named after Zhdanov, but Gladstone, Queensland is still named after Gladstone, yet that was not considered to be a challenger to primary status of William Ewart at Talk:Gladstone (disambiguation)#Requested move 30 November 2016.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 14:41, 1 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Both Zhdanovskaya (district) and Zhdanovskaya (railroad station) are, however, indicated [as Vykhino (district) and Vykhino (railroad station)] at the Zhdanovskaya/Vykhino disambiguation page.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 12:56, 2 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
All the remaining Soviet personages mentioned at Talk:Kalinin#Requested move 15 April 2017 may be, at some point in the future, re-submitted for consideration as primary redirects. Had I not submitted last year's Kalinin RM mass request, Zhdanov could probably have been moved to Zhdanov (disambiguation) without an RM and few editors/users would have likely noticed or cared.
Virtually all of the above-listed names of top-level Soviet Politburo members became primary redirects without an RM. In one respect, the listing of the Politburo names within the nomination represents seemingly supportive examples of WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS — if all of the above names are already primary redirects — why not Zhdanov who was at least as prominent as a number of them — and all of them had varying levels of international prominence in their era.
Of course, no one would question the primary status of Lenin and Stalin but, as I mentioned at Kalinin and as again pointed out above by Nine Zulu queens, all of these high-ranking Soviets have no name competition — as with Gladstone or Disraeli in the English-speaking world — everything at their surname dab pages is named after them and yet their names were not even mentioned at those dab pages until after the Kalinin RM. Anyone typing their surnames is almost certainly searching for them or something named after them.    Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 21:57, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
