Delete. Badly sourced and promotional. As the nominator states, he does not appear to meet WP:GNG, WP:NPOL, nor WP:PROF. I tried multiple spellings of his name in Google Scholar but did not find publications with significant citations. The closest thing to a claim of notability is "Corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Engineering" but as a lower-level membership in an association that prominently charges a membership fee [1] I'm skeptical that this is the sort of scholarly honor that passes WP:PROF#C3. —David Eppstein (talk) 08:15, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
