• Snow keep. The sources {{u|Υπογράφω}} found provide a solid basis for notability ("a crucial figure in the development of contemporary Russian theatre"), and googling turns up numerous other mentions. This looks like a bit of a WP:BEFORE malfunction to me. – Joe (talk) 18:53, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

::... "looks like", but it's not!

::And you really think this is enough to establish his notability? Reading his biography [http://www.rulit.me/authors/butkevich-mihail-mihajlovich here] I didn't saw nothing which makes him remarcable. Even in ru.wikipedia they don't have and never had an article about this person. "Snow keep" he says... XXN, 19:57, 24 January 2017 (UTC)

:::Being the subject of two full articles in peer-reviewed journals and mentioned in several other scholarly sources is more than enough to establish notability per WP:ANYBIO. The text I quoted above also clearly indicates Butkevich satisfies criterion 1 of WP:CREATIVE, "the person is regarded as an important figure or is widely cited by peers or successors". – Joe (talk) 08:32, 25 January 2017 (UTC)

• Keep -- clearly notable. I added a citation and ext link: [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mikhail_Butkevich&type=revision&diff=762436081&oldid=761357497 diff]. This article looks especially compelling:
