Strong Keep - needs to be re-written, but completely notable. Deletion would leave Dragunsky
the only person awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union (Soviet equivilant to the medal of honor) twice without an article. I have long intended to clean up every article in the list, but haven't gotten to it yet since it existed already and isn't a one sentence stub. Dragunsky is mentioned in a plethora of Russian language sources that will be added to the article. Also, it is NOT a BLP, he died in 1992. Innacuraccies can easily be removed and corrected, sources can be replaced with better ones, but that doesn't change the fact that he was one of less than 200 people awarded the title HSU twice and that deletion would make him the ONLY twice HSU without an article (despite him not being less notable than everyone else on the list).--

@
Nicnote: Being deficient in sourcing does not automatically render a subject non-notable. It is physically possible for the most notable of articles to lack good sourcing. None of which makes them less notable. Calling in the article rescue squad because you want a stub expanded and rewritten is an abuse of the AFD process. This article clearly does not meet the criteria for deletion, and you should never have nominated it for deletion in the first place. Please stop wasting my time asking me to improve the article - yes, I will, eventually. But I expect you to withdraw the deletion ASAP before I get down to buisiness and write a single paragraph. Because of your manipulative behavior here by hoping that causing panic would get the article more attention and result in improvements, I will have to de-prioritize this article in my to-do list to discourage future repeat offenses.--

Speedy Keep Dragunsky is notable per
WP:GNG and
WP:MILPEOPLE with significant coverage in Russian sources, being a colonel general, and relatively rare double Hero of the Soviet Union, his country's highest honorary title. AfD is not cleanup.
