Lack of coverage to show notability: a Google Search on "Ivan Titenkov" gives 999 hits. --aktsu ^(t / c) 17:29, 11 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Question: What do those hits cover? --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 15:32, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seemingly nothing (in terms of coverage from reliable, independent sources) to show notability, which was my main point -- not the exact number of hits. Only reason I mentioned it was because I was surprised how low it was in comparison to how accomplished the articles makes him out to be. Also, looking more closely at the results, there see to be a Russian politician with the same name by the way. --aktsu ^(t / c) 21:58, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the info. I non-vote weak delete as unreferenced BLP. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 22:00, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Here's the subject's entry on the Ukranian Wikipedia, seems to be similar layout, also recently created by Grinpin and also without references. I am not having luck finding useable english newspaper references to him.--Milowent (talk) 05:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The subject's listed accomplishments look notable enough to me, IF an independent reference can be provided. I searched English sources for mention of his world championship, but the only thing I found was Wikipedia and its mirrors. Much information can be found on Ivan Titenkov the politician, but not on the martial artist. Papaursa (talk) 15:48, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Since no one has provided any independent sources, I feel that deletion is the only option. I'll change my vote if adequate reliable sourcing is provided. Papaursa (talk) 13:55, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
