Nominate for deletion Suggestion in places of notability, but no references to back it up - pretty much an unreferenced blp. Over 5 years of being tagged as of doubtful notability, plus coi. Boleyn (talk) 13:35, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I am having a hell of a time verifying this, but it might be due to the lack of English sources. The claims in the article, if true, would certainly put this person past WP:GNG. The blood substitute he allegedly invented might be notable in and of itself, but I can't get him past WP:ACADEMIC either. No prejudice to reversing !vote if someone can source this. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 21:21, 12 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I found this paper on pubmed which lists an E. Maevsky. We may have romanization issues here. And this is a list of publications that I think are all this person.

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

Comment. The usual transliteration of the surname certainly seems to be Maevsky (Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL). GScholar shows an h-index apparently far too low to meed WP:PROF#1 but, without the original Russian Cyrillic version of his name, we could easily be missing the bulk of his work if he usually publishes in Russian.

Further digging: This appears to be his university page where the name is given as Маевский Евгений Ильич. On perftoran, there are articles on the Russian and Ukranian Wikipedias, plus this Moscow Times article and a book section (though I can't fully access the last two).

Weak delete. I found this article, which mentions him, but in the absence of verifiability for much of the article I think we should probably delete until we find some sources. --Michig (talk) 13:57, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
