Deletion of Nikolay Sergeyevich Borisov

Comment: DGG is correct: Moscow State University is ''the'' number one university in Russia in terms of prestige and being a full professor there is already pretty much a guarantee of academic notability. GoogleBooks also gives substantial results: 73 hitshttp://books.google.com/books?um=1&q=%22Николай+Сергеевич+Борисов%22&btnG=Search+Books for his full name in Russian (Николай Сергеевич Борисов) and 397 hitshttp://books.google.com/books?lr=&q=%22Н.+С.+Борисов%22&btnG=Search+Books for abbreviation of his name, Н. С. Борисов. For the latter search there are a few false positives, but after I looked more closely, it was clear that the great majority of hits relate to him. GoogleBooks has much more limited search data in Russian than in English so I think these results are fairly impressive. He did win a national-level literary award (the Metripolitan Macarius Prize). While the other award, from Molodaya Gvardiya, is from the publishing house where his book was published, the award is certainly a plus. In fact, Molodaya Gvardiya is an 85-year-old publishing house and http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/ЖЗЛ "Zhizn' zamechatel'nikh lyudei" (Life of Remarkable People) is an old and popular book series, so having published a book there at all is already pretty good. Being shortlisted for the Alexander Nevsky prize is also a plus. Similarly, being a candidate in the Russian Academy of Sciences elections is indicative of academic notability. For academy membership it is not possible to self-nominate; you have to be nominated either by one of the members of the academy or by one of scientific councils (by a secret ballot) authorized to award advanced degrees. This makes for quite a solid case for passing , criterion 1
