While this is written and sourced differently enough from the first version to not qualify for immediate speedy as a recreation of deleted content, what it still isn't is referenced to sources that properly establish his notability. Of the 17 footnotes here, nine of them glancingly namecheck his existence within articles that aren't about him; three of them are primary source staff profiles or press releases from his own employers; he's the author, not a subject, of two of them; two are mere blurbs in listicles, not substantive coverage; and the only source that isn't a complete non-starter toward getting him over WP:GNG is a Q&A interview in which he's speaking about himself rather than being written about in the third person by an independent party. All of which means that exactly none of the sources here are cutting it in terms of properly establishing his notability — he has to be the subject, not the author or a name that happens to appear in coverage of other things, in reliable sources that are independent of him, but every single source here fails at least one of those conditions.

 * Delete I cannot find anything else that is actually usable. Many sources look reasonable, but at the point of wanting to post them here I have realised they are basically all primary sources. Ilyina Olya Yakovna (talk) 21:40, 21 January 2018 (UTC)
