Biography fails to meet standards of notability. —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄  10:56, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per previous discussion. In addition, he is the head coach of Lithuania U18 national team per this source. His page needs work, but that does not mean that it should be deleted because nobody is taking time to improve it. – Sabbatino (talk) 12:36, 15 March 2018 (UTC)

 * I'm working with a Google translation, but I infer that Nikiforov's big claim to fame is coaching a children's hockey team, so I'm still struggling to see the notability. (I'm not a hockey person, so please forgive me if I'm failing to appreciate something bigger here.) Maybe the Lithuania U18 national team should add a list of coaches past and present, and Nikiforov can get a mention there? There's barely any content there at present. —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄  13:20, 15 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep Playing for Dynamo Riga in the Russian Elite League is more than enough for a keep according to WP:NHOCKEY.18abruce (talk) 13:46, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - Meets WP:NHOCKEY criterion #1 (and as noted in the prior AfD, probably meets GNG too even independent of playing for Dynamo Riga). Rlendog (talk) 14:27, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay! I gave in a 15-minute clean-up just now in the expectation that it's being kept. It's still pretty crap (and 2 of 3 links couldn't be recovered), but it looks more like a real stub now. —jameslucas ▄▄▄ ▄ ▄▄▄ ▄▄▄ ▄  19:01, 16 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep meetsWP:NHOCKEY by playing in Russian Elite League. Meets WP:GNG as coach of a national team. Flibirigit (talk) 16:20, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as he appears to meet the WP:NHOCKEY requirements. Ejgreen77 (talk) 11:23, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
