The result was delete. In principle, this is not my business as a closing administrator, but I also checked Russian sources and unfortunately could not find anything significant.--Ymblanter (talk) 09:02, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I try and avoid nominating articles about artists for deletion, particularly when they may have coverage in non-English sources. But this article rings all sorts of alarm bells. It makes very little claim to notability and the statement that "His works can be found in collections throughout the world" could simply be a WP:PUFF phrase to mean he's sold work to people who live overseas. Looking at his work (particularly the one illustrated) his paintings seem quite unremarkable. His only activity of any note is to participate in an event at the Hermitage Museum. I've looked for substantial coverage online in English or Russian (Сергей Темерев) but nothing leaps out. Sionk (talk) 11:10, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete unless someone finds a source for His works can be found in collections throughout the world before the AfD is out of time. MIVP - (Can I Help? ◕‿◕) (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) - (Cakes) 09:37, 24 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
