Arkadiy Abramovich

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Individual of questionable notability. Main claim to fame seems to be being the son of a rich businessman. A Google news search shows zero recent news results, and only 19 in the archive. Little significant coverage of the individual on his own merits - most are tied to his father's money. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:08, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

 * redirect to Roman Abramovich.--Cavarrone (talk) 20:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * delete the BBC source doesn't mention Arkadiy, so we are left with a rumour reported in the Telegraph. Sources do not establish subject's notability. Maybe redirect as suggested above.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 20:49, 10 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Business activities of this person (not of his father) are a subject of interest of multiple mainstream media not only in UK, see the G-News search result for Arkady Abramovich. It means that Arkad(i)y Abramovich may be a subject of interest for our readers, and we should provide neutral and encyclopedic information. I've added missing citations. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:51, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * comment almost persuaded to withdraw delete. But the vast majority of the gnews hits are about the Copenhagen takeover, which did not happen. The article is improving, but I'd like to see one or two more good sources on Aradiy's independent activities.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 19:57, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * It isn't just the FC Copenhagen takeover, but also the investments of the ARA Capital (Zoltav Resources PLC, Crosby Asset Management). I agree that his father's name plays an important role here, however, the information could be important for tracking economic activities of one of the wealthiest families residing in the UK, and it is verifiable by reliable sources.

 * Keep The Google news archive results include some rather impressive coverage.  D r e a m Focus  20:57, 14 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Its short but long enough to be a proper stub article, it appears to be well cited, seems notable enough, no reason to traunch. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 21:15, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
