Appears to fail Academic notability without additional references to establish notability. The only link provided is to a museum that the subject opened. The museum does not appear to be notable enough for an article, so it is unclear that the person who opened the museum (if that is the primary claim to notability) is notable. If there can be some reliable sources found to document his notability then I will be happy to remove the nomination. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 03:09, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The inline ref I've added from the Ukranian WP seems to indicate notability, via a rough translation in Google.  Lugnuts  (talk) 09:26, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment The ref you have added is an obit posted on the Religious Information Service of Ukraine, which is a project of the Institute of Religion and Society of the Ukrainian Catholic University, and does not appear to really establish notability. He still seems to fail WP:Academic.  ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 16:19, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep From the latest source, his surname is Blazejowskyj, so I think the title of the page should change accordingly. You can search for sources according to that surname at: . There are a lot of sources out there but only in his name in Cyrillic alphabet which makes it difficult to add sources. According to this source, for example, he received some kind of a medal. I don't think the article should be deleted, it only needs some help from Ukrainian Wikipedians. Nimuaq (talk) 22:45, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep assuming that the claim of receiving the Shevchenko National Prize is correct. That indicates quite sufficient notability. Rd232 talk 22:33, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - as it stands at this moment he doesn't seem to meet the threshold for notability, Also the following categories (Category:Naturalized citizens of the United States, Category:Alumni of the Pontifical Urbaniana University and Category:Alumni of the Pontifical Gregorian University) are not sourced. I know sources are not required to be in the vernacular, but without some sort of translation it is hard to vote to keep. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 22:39, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * By that logic shouldn't it be just as hard to vote to delete? Phil Bridger (talk) 18:13, 3 May 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep - Passes muster at Ukrainian Wikipedia, which isn't a bad benchmark for lesser-known national figures. Дмитро Блажейовський is the spelling in Ukrainian, which I will add to the article. Carrite (talk) 15:59, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Also is the recipient of the Shevchenko Prize, a very high national award in Ukraine. Carrite (talk) 16:07, 3 May 2011 (UTC)
