I found https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenslaurson/2018/03/21/classical-cd-of-the-week-anton-batagovs-bach-is-for-tripping/ but I cannot find any unaffiliated sources that discuss the subject or his works. At the very least, the article (and the Russian, French and Japanese ones) need to be re-written to remove unsourced content and promotional tone. Walter Görlitz (talk) 01:18, 30 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Easily passes WP:GNG. One should simply do search in Russian and immediately find numerous books with non-trivial description of the person,, news, etc. My very best wishes (talk) 20:14, 12 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Even the Russian sources are passing mentions or not reliable. Walter Görlitz (talk) 02:52, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * No, absolutely not. These Russian books are totally reliable RS, and they cover the subject in depth and clearly establish his notability: "Антон Батагов — широко известный композитор, пианист, общественный деятель — лидирующая фигура в искусстве minimal art. Музыкальные события последнего времени — концерты в Москве, Пермский международный ...". My very best wishes (talk) 04:27, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * A passing mention in a book is proof that it covers the subject in depth? I take it that's why they're not used in the Russian-language article either. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:54, 13 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Please check the book. At least five full pages are about him, and this is an academic-oriented book on the subject of music in 20th century. The subject is described as a "leader" in his area. This is nothing "passing". My very best wishes (talk) 19:28, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable, only brief mentions in sources and promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.53.12.89 (talk) 12:21, 13 November 2019 (UTC)

 * This editors votes are problematic as per their talkpage here and here, Atlantic306 (talk) 22:08, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
 * I checked yesterday saw that that this was a new account. And it is usually not the place to begin editing so quickly. The first edit was to nominate an article for deletion. That is usually something for an experienced editor. And then !voting 56 AFDs in 36 minutes. Please slow down. There is not a good way to asses notability so quickly.
