The result was   delete. Although I understand DGG's arguement, the other "keep" argument that because an article exists on another language that it should exist here is a false argument: we have different notability guidelines than others. I am convinced by the delete !votes (and the sources) (✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 11:42, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

I do not see any notability, and, additionally, this is a BLP without a single reliable source. Ymblanter (talk) 20:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NOTRESUME and WP:MILL. No evidence he passes WP:GNG, nor WP:PROF specifically. Bearian (talk) 18:39, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep This individual has a an article on the Russian Wikipedia (see Google Translate version here) and the references section there leads me to believe that enough foreign-language sources exist for this article to meet both PROF and the GNG. Perhaps a Russian or Belorusian speaker could help to verify.  --Cerebellum (talk) 03:19, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I am a Russian speaker, and I checked the Russian article before monimating. Could not find anything significant.--Ymblanter (talk) 05:58, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep These accomplishments are not run of the mill. Writing one or two books might be. Looking at a separate google translation of the references that were untranslated, he seems to be covered in the appropriate specialized biographical dictionaries for his country. I'm aware of the tendency of some WPs to apply a lesser standard of notability for people in their own culture area than the standard of notability that we apply, but I think this qualifies.

 * Delete I do not see evidence that he's anything other than run of the mill. According to the translated version of the article, he never rose above the ranking of associate professor. That he appears in various specialized versions of Who's who in Belarus does not, in my mind, rise to the bar for notability absent solid information that it's not a straight vanity press.
