Associate professor. I don't see his published works on google. The books he was supposed to have authored, he apparently didn't. Gigs (talk) 20:23, 10 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep That his published works (whose original titles are not in English) do not appear on Google says something about Google, not Tsvirkun. But try searching for Alexander Tsvirkun on Google and you might get somewhere, for example to a review of Russian-American Dialogue on Cultural Relations 1776-1914 on H-Net which quotes Tsvirkun at some length. Seems to me that being a professor (in the European, not US sense) is notable and being quoted and cited by other academics adds to that notability.

Comment. One cite does not make for notability. Can you find more? We usually require hundreds. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:41, 16 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

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

Actually, we don't "usually require hundreds". Emeraude (talk) 10:50, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

True. Sometimes we require thousands for WP:Prof#C1. Xxanthippe (talk) 21:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC).[reply]

"Sometimes" doesn't over-trump "usually"!! Emeraude (talk) 22:16, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: no third party sources (in article, or obvious from 'find'), no particular claim to fame articulated, no reason to believe he meets WP:PROF. A single extensive quote, does not an article make. Hrafn^Talk_Stalk^(P) 11:44, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not well-cited enough. Join the crowd. Bearian (talk) 23:52, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
