 * Delete Nothing to show he meets WP:MANOTE and no significant independent coverage. Article was created by an SPA, likely COI.Mdtemp (talk) 18:05, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete It was difficult to search for him, given the far more significant coverage given to the KGB/FSB agent of the same name. My search didn't find significant independent coverage of him.  Except for his own postings, I couldn't find any evidence of him being a martial arts champion.  The article gives no mention of organizations, events, or fighting styles that he won his titles in.  I have to agree that this article seems to have been primarily written as an ad to promote him and the combined sources provide only a single passing mention of him.
