The result was Speedy Keep as I'm going to be bold here since the major museum exhibitions would certainly be enough for notability (NAC). SwisterTwister  talk  23:18, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

Not convinced this subject is notable enough. A considerable number of the sources come from the company that sells his paintings, giving this a sense of advertising. Tvx1 18:16, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep. Easlily passes WP:ARTIST and WP:GNG. His works are part of Russian Hermitage Museum and Museum of Russian Art in Moscow. Those two are two largest and most important museums in Russia. In addition to that his works are in other major museums. I've removed some promotional content and added some sources. The article needs further rework, but at this stage it's a solid stub to stay.

 * SNOW KEEP suggested. Anyone with works in the Hermitage permanent collection is unquestionably notable. I removed the improper external links. I suggest that the nominator read WP:CREATIVE.  DGG ( talk ) 22:55, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
