Keep. Also puzzled as to how we ended up here. A google search immediately leads to many sources in English. He has an entry in the Great Soviet Encyclopedia. Jahaza (talk) 15:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Tons of sources demonstrating notability. The journal article provided by xx236 states that the subject is "familiar to all readers of Pushkin" and goes on to cover him in detail. [1] W 42 16:17, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – Encyclopedic topics of 20-page journal articles are prima facie notable. Ovinus (talk) 22:56, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm seeing a lot of comments about keeping this article and I agree that they could pass
WP:NBIO in that his work is not a widely recognized contribution to the field, people don't cite Kunitsyn they cite Kant. Dr vulpes ^{(💬 • 📝)} 02:57, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

You appear to have a serious misunderstanding of Wikipedia notability, problematic for someone creating so many AfDs. With rare exceptions (
WP:PROF is one, but not one that is relevant here; it is geared towards modern research university professors) Wikipedia notability is not about accomplishments but about sourcing. We have here one English book, two journal articles, and many Russian sources. Is there more than one of them? Are they in-depth? If so you should not be asking what he has done to deserve the attention. The attention itself is what is relevant. If you want Wikipedia notability to be based on accomplishments rather than publicity, I am quite sympathetic to that view, but this sort of individual AfD is not the way. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:12, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

O no I understand notability perfectly fine. What I don't trust is the Russian sources and the claims they make about this guy. If you remove them he barely passes
WP:GNG
. We're going to end up keeping this article and that's fine that's how consensus works.

No you Kant: Russians reject German thinker's name for airport

Keep: Several encyclopedia entries and coverage in other sources (many of which are easily available) appear to get this over
