There is no reasons to delete article. Alexander Kabakov matches basic peoples notability criteria. A number of indepedent sources listed in article text, and it's not a big problem to add more. This person also have a big notability in IT industry as one of two founders of a Russian software company, prizing by
IARPA at 2017, and publishing ambiguous and controversial face recognition technology implementation FindFace. In this role he got a big number of international
press mentions - not only russian and american, but also french, chineze and other.

Delete a non-notable businessman, no actual claim to notability. Wikipedia is not linkedin.

Delete: I can find effectively nothing notable about this person per
WP:BASIC; although he appears in several articles about his software, he is definitively not the subject. The article's creator and effectively sole maintainer contests that Kabakov "got a big number of international press mentions", yet links to one small article by
a Russian propaganda outlet that's not even directly about Kabakov. I think
FindFace, the subject that's actually covered by the citations in Kabakov's article, seems to meet
WP:GNG and
WP:NSOFT (although its citations are currently in disrepair), but the subject himself categorically fails to meet notability guidelines. TheTechnician27(Talk page) 20:04, 5 June 2019 (UTC)reply
