 * A non-notable person. From the text of the article it is difficult to assess the degree of its level. No confirmation links.--RTY9099 (talk) 04:02, 25 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep He meets WP:NACADEMIC, #3 "The person is or has been an elected member of a highly selective and prestigious scholarly society or association". He is a member of the Russian Academy of Arts. The article could certainly be improved, and the much longer Russian Wikipedia article could be a useful source - it has multiple references. RebeccaGreen (talk) 13:54, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete the article says he is an honorary member, that is not a regular member and thus not a sign of notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:42, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Still notable even if he doesn't meet WP:NACADEMIC. He has had a fashion exhibit in at least two countries, Belarus and Azerbaijan, and probably several more that don't have easily available English sources.
 * Russian Wikipedia translation says "Alexander Vasiliev was awarded state awards of France - Order of Arts and Literature [36] (2016) and Latvia - Cross of recognition of IV degree [37] (2018), as well as non-state awards - with the medal of S.P. Dyagilev [38] for the promotion of Russian art, medal of V. Nizhinsky, Order “Patron of the Arts”, Gold Medal of the Academy of Arts of Russia. Twice is the winner of the award "TOBAV" [39] in Turkey. He was presented in the nomination “Fashion Legend” at the World Fashion Awards in 2010. In 2011, residents of the Samara Region awarded Vasilyev the regional award “People’s Recognition” [40]. In the same year, Vasiliev became an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Arts."
 * Source for the French award is RIA Novosti, a Russian state-operated news agency. Source for the Latvian award has no Wikipedia article but it seems to be an official Latvian government news source. I'm too lazy to look through the other sources right now, but it's safe to assume that most of the Russian article is legit. Morgan Ginsberg (talk) 07:29, 26 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Interviews in Argumenty i Fakty published before 7 March 2014 when the Government of Moscow bought it in case someone wants to disqualify them because "Russian Government". Interview  in Trud. Coverage  in Sankt-Peterburgskie Vedomosti translated title "Fashion historian Alexander Vasilyev will come to St. Petersburg" and  which is about "The exhibition 'The Fashion of Russian Modern' from the collection of Alexander Vasiliev opened in the Picture Hall of the Vitebsk Station."

 * Keep "Text not show notability" what does that even mean?. From a search i can see a lot of WP:SIGCOV and he was awarded with state awards of France - Order of Arts and Literature. He has been featured on NYpost in 2007, CNNTURK and some many other media houses that are reliable. Kindly make a thorough search before anymore comment. Maybe articles needs to be written properly but definitely not delete. PlotHelpful (talk) 11:04, 9 December 2018 (UTC)
