The subject of the article has no notability. Searching independent sources gave no result. No referee's reports and etc. were found. All links in the article lead to personal resources of this man or to nowhere. In other wikipedias, articles about this subject were written by the same users. It seems that this man actively advertises himself in the Internet. Xebir (talk) 21:39, 18 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete unless it can be improved as my searches found nothing better here and here so I'm inviting to find any available sources.  SwisterTwister   talk  05:19, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm this needs expert attention from someone in the field of botany. His field is too specific to have general coverage. It seems he specializes in Lupins.  —Мандичка YO 😜 05:42, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
 * That's what I thought too, hopefully some familiar users can notice this. SwisterTwister   talk  06:23, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

 * NOTE: @Botanist850 has made only one edit -- this one. Likely COI. Quis separabit?  15:41, 1 September 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete: this reads like a dissertation or curriculum vitae. Unnecessary inclusion of middle initial indicates probable COI. Quis separabit?  17:38, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for lack of evidence of passing WP:PROF. Taxonomy is a low-citation field so I think we can't read much into the fact that his publications have low citation counts on Google scholar, but I also strongly disagree with Botanist850's claim that being a published taxonomist gives automatic notability. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:59, 26 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Describing even a single species has always been held here to be unquestionable notability for a biologist. From the bio, he's a disciple of Vavilov, the pioneering Russian plant biogeographer, one of the few Soviet biologists of the period whose work is still considered valid, (despite the efforts of Stalin to repress it) and the field he developed is  one of the very few fields of Soviet-era biology where the country was truly a pioneer.  Not all of the people continuing the field will be notable, but from the academic positions, it seems that he is.   DGG ( talk ) 04:39, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - Appears at a glance on the Google to be a leading Russian academic in plant biology. Needs to be assessed as an academic (special guidelines), rather than per GNG. Not really my forte to do such, but we definitely need to move slowly on this one to prevent a wrongful deletion. Carrite (talk) 16:57, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
