 * Delete. He is not a monk, but a journalist. All links currently on the page are dead, and one of them is "fake" (i.e. leads to a source about another Smirnov). Version on ruwiki about him is much better than this page, but I still did not see any proof of notability beyond a few publications in Russian periodicals. My very best wishes (talk) 01:12, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Dead links on the page can be fixed, i.e. one can find mentioning the subject in self-published database by Yakov Krotov (lower part of the page, the photo is of another Smirnov!). This is an acceptable source, but such mention only enforces the point that the subject is not notable. My very best wishes (talk) 03:01, 29 December 2022 (UTC)
