Delete No evidence of satisfying Wikipedia's notability criteria. The article was proposed for deletion with reason "No evidence of notability. The only reference is to an advertisement for a book he has written." Following this an IP editor removed the PROD and gave two new references. One of these is a link to a brief AOL listing which says Dmitry Poletaev is the host of a show. The other is to an interview in which, if my limited knowledge of Russion serves me correctly, Dmitry Poletaev is the interviewer, not the subject of the interview. I have also made web searches and found no evidence anywhere of substantial material in reliable sources about Poletaev, as a opposed to material by him.

 * Delete - The only English-language source I can find (excluding YouTube and the like) is in the Miami Sun-Sentinel, and that is entirely about one programme; the few biographical items in the article are all quotes from Poletaev himself. There isn't enough in this one article to demonstrate notability. Jimmy Pitt   talk  10:35, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
