Unreferenced resume of a non-notable figure. Claims to have "more than 440 scientific works", but gets about 9 hits at WorldCat. He's on the Kazakh electoral commission, but even for the US (our most-covered country), we only have an article for one member of the Federal Election Commission (and it's not much of an article). Anyway, since he's unelected, and his life isn't covered by third-party sources, he fails WP:POLITICIAN. Biruitorul Talk 04:41, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Worldcat is mostly restricted to libraries in the US. It's not surprising works from someone in Kazachstan isn't listed much. ALso, why search for scientific works in regular libraries. It's probably better search an article database in his field of expertise. - Mgm|(talk) 22:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Fair enough; if you can provide other means of establishing notability, please do so. - Biruitorul Talk 01:44, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak keep I doubt very much there are usable databases for the subject he works on, and I certainly doubt they would in in any manner a non-specialist in the languages and subject could possibly deal with. I think the part of the notability thats easiest to see, is as a textbook writer. The article could use some considerable trimming. DGG (talk) 05:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: here is his biog: . Also see, he was nominated for a UNHCR post. Fences and windows (talk) 04:28, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete This article most likely arrived courtesy of self-promotion, and simply having your name appear on a scholarly paper or two is not in itself grounds for a "keep" vote. There is no contextual importance, meaning Mr. Sarsembaev is most likely not-notable within the Central Asian context. Dahn (talk) 19:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
