This article would be an instant
WP:CSD#A10 if its content were not so much better than the previous
Senior lieutenant. The best outcome would be for the material to be located at
Senior lieutenant and
Starshy leytenant redirected there. That would seem to me non-controversial, however the author
User:HHubi insists on this title as "the correct transcription of the Russian wording", and dislikes the translation. To avoid
WP:3RR, here we are.

Comment. Note that the editor in question has created or contributed to many similar articles about ranks in other languages. The whole corpus of articles on ranks on Wikipedia needs a huge overhaul. --

Redirect to
Senior lieutenant; that article contains essentially the same information.
WP:TITLE is clear that Wikipedia pages should normally have English-language titles, unless the foreign-language phrase is widely used in English-language sources, and a very brief survey suggests that "senior lieutenant" is the term normally used in English-language sources for this rank.

Redirect per nom. I did the merge last night - you can see the results at
Senior lieutenant.
User:HHubi merely reverted my creation of a redirect at
Starshy leytenant, which is how we ended up here.
