Mark Turkov

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

An article on an author of two books, Divisible by Four (which appears to be self-published) and Marshmallows in Chocolate (coverage of which appears limited to this article). While I've found some evidence he contributed to the "Russian Weekly 'Courier' (Israel)", I see nothing to support the claim that Turkov "is also known as an author of numerous articles in the US Russian Media." Indeed, I've found no actual piece about Turkov or his work. The product of, a single purpose account, the article likely runs counter to WP:AUTO. I note that there is another writer named Mark Turkov, born 1904. Victoriagirl (talk) 03:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete, definite COI issues, based on the lack of sources, I'm not convinced he's particularly notable as a journalist. Lankiveil (talk) 11:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC).
