The same article in Ukrainian wiki has been created by the same users (and then deleted) because of severe lack of notability and self-promotion: all the 'academies' listed are actually NGO registered under Ukrainian law as non-profits, not scientific organizations, not institutes - not connected to actual science in any way. Many medals and other regalia are awarded on a 'membership' basis, thus rendering them insignificant as well FlamebergUA (talk) 13:39, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete, he is not notable. --Shmurak (talk) 10:41, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. This is plainly a pile of extreme advertorial promotionalism, formatted much more like a résumé than a proper encyclopedia article — it's so bad, in fact, that I can't make heads or tails of whether he has a credible notability claim or not. But if even the Ukrainian Wikipedia has deleted it, then I suspect he really doesn't. And far too many of the footnotes are simply reduplicated and retriplicated and retentimesicated repetitions of other footnotes, so the fact that there are 132 footnotes here doesn't mean there are 132 distinct references — for example, 24 of them are repetitions of a single PDF file that was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and then deleted as a copyright violation. And another three footnotes are to articles on Вікіпедія, which I don't need to be very fluent in Cyrillic to recognize as invalid WP:CIRCULAR referencing to ourselves. And if that's the kind of stunts that people are pulling to get this article "referenced", then I don't think I need to wait for a Ukrainian speaker to tell me whether the rest of the Ukrainian-language footnotes are reliable sources or not either.
