I am not sure why this person is notable. Anshuk (talk) 08:26, 2 May 2009 (UTC) 
 * Delete. A cousin of Anton Chekhov (which is no notability in itself) and no other aparrent form of notability. I42 (talk) 09:10, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete' Notability is not inherited. Being related to a notable person does not make you notable. Edward321 (talk) 14:04, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Merge and redirect to Anton Chekhov. There is enough said about Mikhail Mikhailovich Chekhov in secondary sources to warrant inclusion in the Anton Chekhov article under a "Family" section. book, book, Gbooks search. Mikhail also got some press coverage as an "exceptional actor" Gnews. — LinguistAtLarge • Talk  15:51, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Merge and redirect to Anton Chekhov; notable only in connection to his famous cousin, and notability is not inherited. JJL (talk) 02:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, no personal notability. Even mentioning in Anton Chekhov does not seem so necessary. Andrei Romanenko (talk) 02:59, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, correspondence with Anton Chekhov isn't sufficient for notability. The various book hits for M.M. Chekhov are all because Anton Pavlovich and Mikhail Mikhailovich wrote back and forth, and biographers have worked extensively with Anton's letters. Also note that the actor Mikhail Pavlovich Chekhov is Anton Pavlovich's younger brother. This article was written by a family member (User:Darya Protopopova) of the subject's grandson, Oscar Borisovich Protopopov, as described in the info for the photo in the article. I am happy to see such a high-quality, slightly historical picture contributed, but the text probably fails notability. Avram (talk) 06:28, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
