- ... that new names of Soviet origin included "Vilen" for V.I. Lenin, "Oktyabrina" for October Revolution, "Gertruda" for Hero of Labor and even "Barrikad"?

Article was created in correct period, is long enough, NPOV. Hook is interesting and is under max length. However, I could not find the listing of "Oktyabrina" in the cited source (Peris), nor does that source support the sentence that it's attached to (maybe I just missed it). Furthermore, I believe that this article should be merged with Octobering, which seems to be so closely related as to not warrant a separate article. —howcheng {chat} 20:46, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- Fixed; sorry; copied wrong ref. As for merging, completely oppose. You seem to be not familiar with the subject. These are completely different topics, and the second article is a stub only because I am lazy. Texts aplenty, in several languages. - üser:Altenmann >t 01:46, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- Correct, I am completely unfamiliar with the subject. I was only proposing the merge based on what was there right now. I will trust your judgement on the matter. One more suggestion: could you please transliterate the names that are in Cyrillic in the History section? Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 17:54, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
- Done. - üser:Altenmann >t 19:38, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
