Unnotable person, only has one source in Ukranian about an award he won, no BLP sources present. Even the native (Ukranian) article is completely unsourced. Lordtobi ( &#9993; ) 06:09, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes, there are only a few notes about Sergey over the English part of the web, but the name of Cossacks and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games founder should be saved for next generations. Moreover, the name of this person in mentioned at GSC Game World page. And there's a logic, that the founder of that company also has a wiki page.--Donets.Aleksey (talk) 06:27, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Notability is not inherited, we could keep it as redirect—if required—but the article is mostly unsourced and the subject unnotable, regardless of affilitation with GSC. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 06:30, 18 May 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete largely per nom. I'd also add here that there's no issue of the "saving" of things for the next generation. Just because someone doesn't (yet, I'm tempted to say) have a Wikipedia article, they're not necessarily at any risk of a modern-day damnatio memoriae.

 * Keep. Meets GNG. Poor or no research by nom. —Мандичка YO 😜 12:01, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Are there any reliable sources in our language? Especially the last one is from a channel called "gscfancom", definetly tertiary and not usable, and other than that, there are only Ukranian sources. It is not notable enough for English Wikipedia, and the Ukranian article itself is not in a better shape. If you wish, you can incpororate your sources #1-#4 into the Ukranian article first, where very applicable. Lordtobi  ( &#9993; ) 12:16, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Wiki rules state that RS do NOT have to be in English: WP:NONENG. People of all languages read and edit English-language Wikipedia so I don't know what you mean by "our" language. If you can't read them, then that is a good indicator you shouldn't have nominated this article for deletion in the first place because you're wasting other people's time. Stick to articles that only have sources in "your" language. PS the last one is on GSCFancom's YouTube channel but it is taken from a Ukrainian TV program ie third-party source.  —Мандичка YO 😜 12:59, 20 May 2017 (UTC)
 * This is all very true. That being said, I'm guessing most editors here are not familiar with these websites, and are unable to read the content themselves. You may be more persuasive if you can explain why these websites are reliable, and maybe explain some of the points of significant coverage in them? Sergecross73   msg me  19:10, 23 May 2017 (UTC)
 * For my own sake (and before this turns nasty), I'll say that the non-YouTube sources there look at least worthy of further investigation. The second and third read like interviews with the subject, just based on the format and the wording of the URLs, so can I confirm that's what they are? And what's the first one? There's a word in the title of the piece which I seem to sound out as "Kazakh", so I'm curious and actively reconsidering my opinion above. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 13:05, 20 May 2017 (UTC)

 * Redirect to his company, GSC Game World, which has apparently produced major games. Tehre does not apear to be any separate notability. The Uk article is an over-personal autobio, or perhaps pressrelease. .  DGG ( talk ) 00:28, 27 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to GSC Game World; not independently notable. With the help of Google translate, it appears that the links provided above are interviews -- these are generally not sufficient for establishing notability as these are not independent sources. K.e.coffman (talk) 21:09, 29 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Redirect to GSC Game World. The sourcing does not indicate that the subject passes the GNG, and notability is not inherited. The fact that there aren't sources in Ukrainian further suggests that there won't be any turning up in any language. Redirect is a viable alternative to deletion in this case since the company is notable. TonyBallioni (talk) 00:50, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
