 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The supposedly independent sources covering this individual have not been evaluated for reliability and substantiveness
 * Keep links to bio were added now --Czalex 20:59, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Melyantsou has had a finger in all the large Belarus-related thinktanks and is known for his research in political sciences. He should also be treated as an Academic, not just a journalist. --Nieszczarda2 (talk) 10:03, 4 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. 1) Other references to sources not written by Melyantsou have been recently added; 2) Even if the referred articles are written by Melyantsou, they are still published by reliable media such as Nasha Niva, Deutsche Welle, Moscow Times, European Radio for Belarus and others, with approval of their editors / chief editors and adherence to the respective principles on media and journalism.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Vanamonde (Talk) 20:45, 10 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Nasha Niva (major Belarusian newspaper), Deutsche Welle (main state-owned international German publication), Moscow Times (Key English-language newspaper of Russia), European Radio for Belarus (major independent media in Belarus) are obviously reliable and substantive--Czalex 20:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Passes WP:GNG per sources like, to support notability. INeedToFlyForever (talk) 12:39, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
