Fails WP:NAUTHOR. Note: there are other people and characters with the same name, and it's very difficult to find source about this person - one more proof for lack of notability of this subject. XXN, 13:10, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - the fictional character referred to is Stierlitz. The director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia) (MVD) in 1906 and 1907 also had that name, see Werth, Paul W. The Tsar's Foreign Faiths: Toleration and the Fate of Religious Freedom in Imperial Russia. OUP Oxford, 2014. p221-222 (I can't see page 221, so I'm not sure what more might be said on that page) and Werth, Paul W. Freedom of Conscience and the Redefinition of Confessional Boundaries in Imperial Russia, 1905-1914, NCEEER, Washington DC, 2002, p9. The author of The Revolution in Finland under Prince John Obolensky doesn't seem to be notable for authoring that book. That book might be notable, but it isn't clear to me. The "director" (not clear if director means top individual or what) of the MVD in 1906 and 1907 is probably notable, but I can't find anything more on that individual. If the author of the book on Obolensky was the director of the MVD (which is not impossible, the book on Obolensky isn't long and the director of the MVD "drew up" a "remarkable" memorandum on freedom of conscience, so he may have been somewhat literary and the MVD was involved in the Protocols), then I think that person is certainly notable.

 * Werth, Paul. "Imperial Russia and the Armenian Catholicos at home and abroad." Reconstruction and Interaction of Slavic Eurasia and Its Neighboring Worlds (2006): 203-35. gives a bit more clarity, the Vladimirov he is talking about is the director of the Department of Foreign Confessions. Also, Boniece, Sally A. "The Spiridonova Case, 1906: Terror, Myth, and Martyrdom." Kritika: Explorations in Russian and Eurasian History 4, no. 3 (2003): 571-606. discusses a Vsevolod Vladimirov who was a reporter for the magazing, Rus who was supportive of the Socialist Revolutionary, Maria Spiridonova. A related book may be by the same journalist, V.N. Vladimirov, Mariia Spiridonova s portretem i risunkami (Moscow: Vserossiiskago Soiuz ravnopraviia zhenshchin, 1906), which implies a middle initial, "N".
 * So I see three possible Vladimirovs, 1) the author of the Obolensky book, 2) the director of the Department of Foreign Confessions, and 3) The journalist involved in the Spiridonova case. Not knowing much about the career dynamics in the area at the time, any two or all three could be the same person, I think. Smmurphy(Talk) 17:48, 3 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete No clear evidence of passing WP:GNG or WP:NAUTHOR per Smmurphy's analysis. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 19:08, 11 February 2017 (UTC)
