 * Delete, does not meet WP:BIO. Yworo (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. The only assertion of notability in the article is the number of publications, which could possibly pass WP:PROF.  However, I was unable to find any evidence of such notability on Google Scholar.  All of the references, as well as the "Selected works" of the author seem to be published in rather iffy limited circulation kinds of things: "interdepartmental collections" (whatever that is), "Electronic archives" (which seems to be something like a preprint archive), etc.  I note that the article is apparently an autobiography, having been edited by User:Ruslan Nicolaevich and User:Руслан Миколайович.

 * Comment. It's probably worth pointing out that Litnarovich is the subject's surname, and I'm not certain that the transcription from Cyrillic quite follows current conventions. A search on his name in Cyrillic certainly gives some GScholar results, though probably not enough to meet WP:PROF#C1 unless allowance should be made because he seems to have published solely in Russian and/or Ukrainian.

 * That explains his apparent invisibility to Google scholar. I can't really assess the pedigree of those sources (and if the sources listed in the article are any judge, they are likely very iffy), but the citation numbers are certainly not impressive enough for WP:PROF.

 * Delete. From Google Scholar, Books, News archive and web searches for just the surname in English, Ukrainian and Russian I can see nothing that indicates a pass of any of the criteria of WP:PROF, and nothing that indicates that the subject has a full professorship, meaning that it would be unlikely that there would be any offline sources demonstrating notability.

 * Delete per Phil. While he's published a lot of papers, they don't seem to be especially important. Bearian (talk) 18:45, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
