 * Keep - it looks like WP:GNG is satisfied. this search is showing 6 pages of relevant results in various independent news sources. I have added a few sources from the top of the search results Alex Bakharev (talk) 09:03, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - WP:GNG is satisfied. The first nine references given are independent, they are reliable- Boston Globe, National Public Radio and substantial exposés. --ClemRutter (talk) 09:14, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The article is mostly promotional. It mostly sources the company itself. The Boston Globe article is behind a paywall. --PaulinSaudi (talk) 14:27, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
 * (1) It is bad form to vote in an AfD that you opened -- everyone understands the nominator is a delete voter. (2) You are correct that the article is overly promotional, and there is no reason to wait to start cleaning it up.  (3) The fact that the article is behind a paywall is irrelevant (but you might try your local library to access it for free). --JBL (talk) 00:55, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I have now done the (quite simple) work of removing the silly promotional stuff. --JBL (talk) 01:04, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I am sorry that I am unfamiliar with the local customs. I regret I cannot remove my faux pas without removing your comments. So I suppose I we are stuck with my ill-advised comments. My regrets.--PaulinSaudi (talk) 11:48, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Anyone, including you, can strike out your vote. That's a better option then removing it and is usually what people do in such cases. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:52, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I will try. I am sorry to have violated local customs. --PaulinSaudi (talk) 19:55, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - the references currently in the article establish a pass of GNG (thanks Alex Bakharev). --JBL (talk) 01:08, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - But, may be needed some clarification regarding the article name. The title of the article seems like a math education course in Russia, like A Course in Higher Mathematics. However, the opinion in this discussion is Keep anyway.--SilverMatsu (talk) 03:35, 30 May 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep Article meets WP:GNG. AgentCody 05:19, 30 May 2021 (UTC) strike per WP:SOCKSTRIKE and this. -- Toddy1 (talk) 07:43, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep The sourcing is of extremely questionable quality. That said, multiple references do exist. There's probably more in Russian and I don't speak Russian to find out. So I'm leaning toward an extremely weak keep. Although, I think someone voting delete would be just as valid and I wouldn't be at all upset or surprised if the article is ultimately deleted. Probably it should be. --Adamant1 (talk) 05:57, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't know why, but it seems to have been removed on wikipedia.ru. I'm not sure if the content of the article covers the same topic as wikipedia.en.--SilverMatsu (talk) 05:57, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
