The result was delete. Nothing definitive has been found to support GNG, therefore the argument analyzing available sources, which finds nomenclature duplicity and nothing supporting GNG for the article topic, is by far the strongest. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 16:27, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Preliminary findings suggest that the subject might meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. However, a more thorough review of the available sources is warranted to ensure all potential coverage has been adequately considered. --149.172.122.230 (talk) 10:26, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment. The article cites two real sources: here and here. The other sources are a company bio, an article on his father, a linkedin page, and a telegram message. Meanwhile, it's full of extremely controversial claims about a living person which are either unsourced or cited to unreliable sources. I don't know Russian and can't confidently evaluate whether there's better coverage out there, but as it stands, the majority of this article needs to be swiftly deleted.— Moriwen (talk) 17:06, 12 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. Searching for this guy's name in Russian brings up a number of hits. I can't vouch for all of those, but want to err on the side of caution. I agree that there's a bunch of dubious claim in the Criticism section, but that's not an AfD issue. Cortador (talk) 08:29, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- @Cortador May you please link some of those hits? They could just be insignifcant listings as far as anyone else knows. Mach61 12:27, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Search for "Яхьёевич Азимов". Many of the links aren't good sources, but as I said, I'm not able to judge most of them. The Russian article also cites a number of sources, but I'm not familiar with any of those. Cortador (talk) 12:35, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:Of the 6 sources currently in the article, 1 and 3 aren't indipendent, 2 doesn't have SIGCOV of Zafar, 4 is WP:NEWSPRIMARY coverage of a meeting he had, and 5, octagon.media, is a literal Russian propaganda source that should probably be WP:BLPREMOVED . Not a vote, since I haven't run my own search yat, but notability is not indicated so far. Mach61 12:37, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. The coverage under his Russian name is either about an unrelated person who died in 2016, press releases, or derivative of the octagon.media report. Even if octagon.media is situationally reliable (which could be the case, but it's best to be cautious in a BLP), I'm not convinced this amounts to a WP:NBASIC pass.
