I originally tagged this with a CSD, but was declined by Adam9007 citing 'Worked with notable people.', but working with notable people is not a valid criteria under WP:ARTIST. Looking at WP:ARTIST, the closest criteria is 'has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition', but I would hardly classify exhibitions at a bar/nightclub as being 'significant'. I have also checked the references and the best of them are YouTube videos posted by the subject, blogs by the subject or other blogs. Many of the references have either been deleted, or are unreachable. Given this, it would appear that the article is either autobiographical, or by someone with a close association. Overall, I consider that this article should be deleted as it clearly fails WP:ARTIST. David.moreno72 07:48, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note What I can see by my search in Russian, there is no even any evidence to the claim, that he worked with anyone of those "notable" people. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:48, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete for now. Winning at the IPAs would be significant. I just can't seem to find any evidence that he actually was a Winner in the category of “Professional photographers IPA” (2013). The promotional tone doesn't inspire confidence. Mduvekot (talk) 13:58, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note He wasn't a winner for 2013 by this [1]. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 14:51, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete Failing WP:GNG and WP:ARTISTS in all it's categories. There is no any single claim for significance. Working with notable people (which is also not supported by any source, but some dead link) does not make a photographer notable, unless those works are reviewed and presented by wither magazine, journal or public gallery/museum.

Delete per WP:NOTINHERITED; WP:TOOSOON at the very least. I don't know enough Russian to evaluate the sources, and the raft of social-media ELs makes me suspect that this may be an WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY. Miniapolis 21:37, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - for the above. Seems to be more vanity and self-promotion than anything. Dennis Brown - 2¢ 14:40, 18 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Searches did not turn up any evidence that this person passes notability guidelines. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 15:45, 20 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
