Page move discussion

(from Wikipedia:Requested moves)

Semyon Lavochkin → Lavochkin

The Lavochkin disambiguity page has two links, both pointing to the same Semyon Lavochkin page. All info on the disambiguity page is duplicated on the Semyon Lavochkin page.

--Gunter 19:13, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

- oppose - redirect Lavochkin to Semyon Lavochkin at it's current location. --Whosyourjudas\^talk 04:41, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- Oppose: I agree with Whosyourjudas DCEdwards1966 05:00, Dec 31, 2004 (UTC)
- Oppose. It's not a disambiguity page, it's tiny substub for the design bureau. —Michael Z. 05:04, 2005 Jan 8 (UTC)
- Oppose. We keep bureaus and the founders of those bureaus separate in other cases. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:36, 15 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Page merge discussion

I proposed a merge between this page and the OKB page. A lot of the information is redundant (e.g. the list of aircraft) and it would make more sense to have the information about the OKB and its chief designer on the same page. I propose to move info from this page to the Lavochkin page and make this one a redirect. Comments? Emt147 00:39, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In Popular Culture

Lavochkin is namechecked, under the spelling of Lozgechkin, in the Gogol Bordello song "Start Wearing Purple." He is named alongside Diogenes, Foucault and Passepartout.

This is true, it is written in the song. Check it out yourself if you'd like. "Lozgechkin" is one of many alternate spellings for Ла́вочкин in the Latin alphabet. Please don't remove this again. Interlaker 16:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am fluent in both Russian and English. Lozgechkin is not an accepted spelling of Lavochkin. Trivia is very rarely accepted in WP:Air articles and this is not notable. Why would a Soviet aircraft designer be named in a song alongside Focault? Do you have a credible reference proving ANY of this? I will continue to revert at least until I see a credible source. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 22:11, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Listen to the stupid song, the name they sing is Ложечкин. If you re-add the text again without providing proof for any of your assertions, you will be listed for blocking due to disruptive editing. Have a nice day. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 22:25, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPO Lavochkin

The last paragraph is not accurate at all. When Lavochkin died, OBK-301 was not closed, it was taken over by Chelomey and later reestablished under his deputy Georgi Babakin, and it still exists today as a major firm in Russian space industry ("NPO Lavochkin"). Also, the article makes no mention of the very intersting Burya project. DonPMitchell (talk) 23:40, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
