This article has not had a single source since being created in 2011, and there is no evidence that this is anything but original research. User:Ikeepforgettingmyaccountspassword (talk, contribs), 08:46, 13 June 2013 Original AfD creation was done without templates or signature so I've fixed that.

 * Keep I have added two references located using Google Books on the title of this article, though both relate to a single incident: the subject's role in the last days of the Russian Czar. However I have also linked to the Russian Wikipedia article on this person, which is under his birth name (Konstantin Alekseyevich Mâčin) and carries more references. This is an improvable article and I see no strong reason for deletion. AllyD (talk) 05:30, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly existed and held a senior rank in the Red Army (and thus meets WP:SOLDIER). Just because an article is unreferenced does not mean it is original research, as a quick glance at that policy will reveal. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:43, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
