Should we add the Georgian spelling and transcription of Orjonikidze's name?
His death was officially ruled a heart attack, not a suicide. This is the information on the Russian wikipedia. And there is no mention of the likely theory that he was killed on the orders of Stalin. If I can find some sources I'll add this.
This article is ridiculous. Anyone here examine the archives? Sergo shot himself because he couldn't abide what Stalin was doing. I don't know why wiki's leftist orientation extends to pro-Stalin rumbswabbery, but this is a disgrace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.18.61 ( talk) 13:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
The Politburo and Death sections can be greatly improved now by reference to Oleg Khlevniuk's 2008 authoritative work 'Master of the House: Stalin and His Inner Circle' which has clarified much about Sergo's relationship with Stalin, his political views and, now confirmed, his genuine - and fatal - conflict with Stalin over the course the repression began to take. If time allows, I'll have a go at it. Lewvalton ( talk) 00:34, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
I can't claim to be an expert but am familiar with the general area. The problems with this section seem more apparent than real, so I've tried to fix them per request. That said, any article dealing with Stalinist Russia is going to contain conjecture, and equally clearly the official reports of the time can't be relied on (cf. Kirov murder). We shall almost certainly never know and IMHO the best bet is to record the credible alternative explanations. Chrismorey ( talk) 01:12, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
Why is the subject rated High importance for Russian military history and only Medium for Soviet Union? Ordzhonikidze wasn’t Russian, had no military role and the most influential period of his life was under Soviet rule. By contrast, he was a very senior member of the Soviet government for several years, and died in disputed circumstances during that quintessential Soviet invention, the violent political purge. Surely the ratings should be reversed. Chrismorey ( talk) 08:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: Move as unopposed. (non-admin closure) — Andy W. ( talk · ctb) 06:15, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
Grigol Ordzhonikidze → Sergo Ordzhonikidze – per WP:UCN. This article has bounced around to several titles over the years but, as this Google Books ngram shows, the vast majority of sources use "Sergo Ordzhonikidze" with a few using "Grigory/-i Ordzhonikidze". The current title and a recent variant, "Grigol Orjonikidze" don't even show up at all. — AjaxSmack 04:31, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
