The creator of this article has a conflict of interest, as she or he either is Alexander Voytovych or closely associated. This page is clearly promotional, as are the overwhelming majority of internet hits for "Alexander Voytovych." Uyvsdi (talk) 00:03, 29 January 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi
 * Comment Neither wp:COI nor wp:NPOV is a reason for deletion. You wrote a much better rationale on the articles talkpage, which I will reproduce below before the Keep voters come in with "no valid reason for deletion given". Yoenit (talk) 00:12, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

"The creator of this article is clearly connected to the subject, if not the same person. 'Alexander Voytovych' does get substantial amounts of hits through Google, but they are self-generated (wiki mirror sites, linked in, promo sites (http://www.artists.com.ua/ -> Art Atelier: Ivanka and Alexander Voytovych). Cannot find very much in third-party, published secondary sources — and definitely not enough to establish that this is a notable artist. -Uyvsdi (talk) 20:06, 25 January 2011 (UTC)Uyvsdi"

If one convinced that the article has to be deleted, than do not hesitate to do so, but before that please give me a straight answer to my question. What is the difference between the article about Alexander Voytovych and, for example, the Herb Roe’s article, why the mentioned article is considered more accurate? I must highlight once again that instead of explaining what has to be changed or corrected on the page, one awards us with thenoticeboards. Regarding self-promotion which was mentioned a few times I’d like to make it clear : the artists is a Ukrainian and naturally all sources are Ukrainian, and if the mentioned language is unknown to one it doesn’t meant that it allows one doubts the genuine sources. The Ukrainian and Russian versions of Wikipedia have accepted the article and honoured it, which says a lot.I had in my mind to present more Ukrainian artist, however having such an experience; I’d rather leave this business behind thanks to you. Thanks for co-operation. From my point of view this discussion is exceeded, feel free to delete the article!--Artvoyt (talk) 16:53, 2 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment Hi There, In spite all my effort, I don’t expect any understanding or help from the other side regarding the English version of the article about Alexander Voytovych. Therefore if one insists on deleting this particular article then go ahead as it seems to me there is no room for democratic thinking on your website whatsoever. I’d like to add a few more words as my final statement. Wikipedia says: “Sources may encompass published works in all forms and media, and in any language. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability. The art works and art life of the artist is the sourcefor academic press, Ukrainian media, academic institutions, as well as poets, writers and publications use his paintings & drawings to illustrate books. The artist takes a part in a busy art life in the Ukraine presenting a number of exhibitions & art projects. Having said that I see that there is no enough evidence for one?????

 * Comment. I don't have time to read through them right now, as my Russian is a bit rusty and my Ukrainian even worse, but I would point out that the Russian and Ukrainian articles have plenty of references, many of which appear to be from reliable sources. These searches may be useful to polygots:
