The article itself is factually incorrect. It is not a blog, but a livejournal community, in which users can post or crosspost from other blogs, so it doesn't even belong in its current category. The community does contain a few thousand users (few of them active), but it is not notable enough even within Russia or for Russian wikipedia - there are some occasional mentions in local media or in more prominent blogs, but nothing worthy of a Wikipedia article. The references are circular - [1] and [3] are the same thing and they both simply refer to [2]. [4] just shows the position of the community in the current rating for russian LJ segment - it may have been at the top once, but isn't even in top 10 anymore. The Economist article is the only actual reference - and it only mentions the subject once, in passing, it isn't even the main topic of that article. In short, it just doesn't pass WP:N, nor did it even back in the day when the community was at the peak activity. Malachi108 (talk) 12:43, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete no sources discssing the subject that meet reliable sources standard. Mere user counts do not show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 03:13, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. There are some publications about Pora Valit, its creator Yan Polayanski and the immigration consultacy he founded in 2015. Neither himself nor the LJ community or company have enough notability. Timofei Vatolin (talk) 17:09, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
