fails WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE. 1 gnews hit [1]. I also notice his Russian and Ukranian language articles are also poorly referenced. LibStar (talk) 06:47, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep A notable Ukrainian writer/translator, the information is easily verifiable/expandable, see: [2] (news about his death - published by UNIAN) [3] (a review of his book - published by Zerkalo Nedeli) or plenty of reliable sources available in the G-News Archives. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 08:57, 16 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Sufficient sourcing. (note that Google does not ordinarily transliterate for searching, and for people with a name in a non-Roman alphabet, the native language name must be search also. This can be a problem when it is not in the article, but here, it was in the linked Russian & Ukrainian Wikipedias. It would furthermore be quite unusual that a person in 4 other Wikipedias would not have an article here -- even being in 1 is cause for a very careful check to make sure the enWP article did not omit relevant material or references. There's a frequent but very unhelpful practice of translating an article into English without copying over the references.) DGG ( talk ) 19:37, 22 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

keep The Ukrainian wiki page links to pages for a couple of his books, which reinforces that fact that there is more non-English information. He is included in a list of modern Ukrainian authors by the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. http://www.mfa.gov.ua/mfa/en/publication/content/299.htm Francis Bond (talk) 06:45, 23 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
