appears to be one of an army of vanity entries, which this Ukranian professor has created about himself in many language editions of wikipedia and wikiquote, Many of these articles feature "Огірко Ігор Васильович" as main author, see here for his contributions to all wikis: http://toolserver.org/~luxo/contributions/contributions.php?user=%D0%9E%D0%B3%D1%96%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%BE+%D0%86%D0%B3%D0%BE%D1%80+%D0%92%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87&lang=

Independent attestations of his notability are missing. Johannes Rohr (talk) 21:23, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as an unsourced BLP of dubious veracity. The above named contributor created an article on the same person at Wikiquote that reeked of bogosity until it was purged of falsehoods.. Whether this was a case of naive hagiography, delusional vanity, or outright hoax, we cannot have a biography of a living person without reliable sources if it is edited by someone who spreads transparent disinformation. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:40, 15 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as apparently failing WP:PROF. There are very few Google scholar hits, and nothing in the article that indicates passing this criterion either.  Nothing much on Google either.  Sławomir Biały  (talk) 03:03, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete for reasons above. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:57, 16 January 2011 (UTC).
