Weak delete - I can't see two of the three the References and External Links listed and don't quite understand and can't find on libweb or google books what the listed Sources are. From what I can see, there doesn't seem to be enough to establish notability. Using the search term, "Захарий Ковалев", there is passing mention in some other, interesting places such as a book by Vladimir Datsyshen and an academic article by Kolupaev Vladimir E. I could be convinced that there is more, as his actions seem to have been extra-ordinary (it looks like he changed denominations and was a missionary in China sometime before WWII).

Add.: That link in "External links" section (narod.ru) is unreliable. XXN, 17:14, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - there is no claim to notability made in the article, and there are no guidelines which would make us presume notability in this case. St Anselm (talk) 20:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
DElete -- The article says nothing to make me think he is/was notable. Peterkingiron (talk) 19:05, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
