Rescue page Lev Bondarev please
I think Lev Bondarev probably passes WP:NPROF, but much of the page is unsourced. I have removed obvious non-encyclopedic content, but Geography is not my topic so I cannot do more. The page is too old for draftification, and I am reluctant to send to to AfD to enforce draftification. Can someone repair it please.
Courtesy ping of User:Ivtorov, and I am also going to post to Wikipedia:WikiProject Russia due to the language issues. Ldm1954 (talk) 14:49, 9 March 2026 (UTC)

Short Descriptions for settlements
Hi. Should short descriptions contain the state/county that they are in or just the country? I was lead to believe that they should state this. For example, Southend-on-Sea says "City and unitary authority in Essex, England". Davidstewartharvey (talk) 11:02, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Generally both, see wp:Short description#Examples. The Southend-on-Sea short description looks good to me. Thincat (talk) 11:36, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks. There are editors who are currently taking these out for some reason. See Kingswood, Surrey. Davidstewartharvey (talk) 13:14, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- Oh, yes. To begin with that edit looked odd to me but now I see that it has avoided having "Surrey" in both the title and the short description. That seems right because the short description is intended to complement the title and not repeat it. User:Revirvlkodlaku's edit was done using the Wikipedia App (which I don't use) and maybe it doing something similar to what {{Auto short description}} does. Thincat (talk) 16:53, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
- @Thincat, thanks for reading that correctly. As you pointed out, the short description should ideally not restate the page title, and this is why I removed "Sussex". You're also right in pointing out that on the WP app, when changing the s/d, I don't have the option to leave an edit summary. Revirvlkodlaku (talk) 17:44, 24 May 2026 (UTC)
