I don't think this person meets NACADEMIC or NAUTHOR. I was only able to find one review of his books. buidhe 06:06, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

 * Not sure if that is the criterion. Scholar indicates that 6 of his works have each been cited over 100 times, perhaps someone can find an h-index for him. His work on Activity theory certainly looks significant. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:17, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

According to google scholar Gregory Bedny's work has been cited > 1600 times. Some other relevant information suggesting that this page should not be deleted: Gregory Bedny is a member/Academician of the Russian Academy of Aerospace and Engineering. He holds an honorary Doctor of the University of South Ukraine, he was an editor of the Human Activity series of CRC Press, Member of the Board of the Applied Human Factors Ergonomics conference, Member of the Board of the Theoretical Issues of Ergonomics Journal and in addition to articles, author of 18 scholarly books. It is also worth noting that because G. Bedny is a Soviet scholar and immigrant this needs to be taken into account when interpreting scholarly impact. Gregory Bedny's impact extends not only in US and Wester Europe but also in Ukraine and other former Soviet Union countries. It is important that Wikipedia remain as inclusive of international diversity as possible. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbedny (talk • contribs) 00:06, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Draftify Potentially notable but single reference is insufficient for establishing notability. Three papers with more than 100 cites are pretty decent.  scope_creep Talk  11:36, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. Do we have any RS telling anything about this person (when and where he was born, what he did, etc.)? So far, there is one review about his book. If not, I am afraid this is going to be deleted. We must source content to something. My very best wishes (talk) 18:52, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment On sources, the foreword to this book that he coedited is some kind of eulogy; there's also a short biography there. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see a plenty of sourced info about him in preface to the book. That resolves my concern. However, it does not say that he was the founder of Activity theory. What was his the most significant achievement, exactly, beyond publishing several books? I have no strong opinion to keep or delete. My very best wishes (talk) 04:10, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
 * I think his citation record is probably sufficient that he meets WP:NPROF C1, although I'm concerned about the largely-without-references article. Russ Woodroofe (talk) 14:47, 15 January 2020 (UTC)
