BLP of a Serbian volunteer in the Donbas. I don’t see any real claim of notability in the text. He might be a GNG pass but they would depend on the sources cited being reliable and independent. I’m not familiar with any of them, but they look pretty suspect to me. Mccapra (talk) 13:30, 19 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. As the article explains in rather great detail, the subject is rather notable (or should we say notorious?) as a foreign fighter in Russian, Ukrainian and Serbian media. I’m not familiar with any of them, but they look pretty suspect to me – a casual Google Translate could tell you that "slobodnaevropa.org" is Serbo-Croatian edition of Radio Free Europe, cited two times, at least one being a full piece about the subject. Two short pieces in Blic, the major Serbian news outlet, and a full interview in Ekspres are well-above the GNG bar; plus an assortment of Ukrainian and Russian sources. It's not the typical "barrel-scraping" for mentions, those are all extensive stories about him. No such user (talk) 08:29, 20 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep agree with @No such user there are extensive stories about him on authored news sites. Meets WP:GNG. FiddleheadLady (talk) 20:26, 26 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per No such user. The subject of the article is a biography of a very prominent foreign fighter in the Donbas war. I also added a Politika (a Serbian newspaper of record) reference. There he is covered in depth, and this article alone would probably be enough for him to pass GNG. Edit: probably worth adding in response to the nominator's I don’t see any real claim of notability -- the Politika story explicitly establishes his notability by saying that the Serbian public learned about him after he apprehended another Serbian fighter in Donbas, and that he is reportedly "the best-known Serbian fighter" there. — Alalch Emis (talk) 22:23, 3 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I couldn't find anything suspicious. The sources mention both sides of the conflict. I agree with No such user. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 21:27, 6 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
