Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Likhterman
The article certainly needs some clean-up but the subject does appear notable. There was a detailed biographical article about himhttp://berkovich-zametki.com/Nomer36/Shkurko1.htm (in Russian) in 2003 in a webmagazine 'Notes on Jewish History'. I have added it to the list of refs. That article also mentions that in 2002 a book of memoirs (recollections by various other medical researchers about his life and work) about him was published in Russia, dedicated to his 100th anniversary. The book was already listed in the References section (A Man of Light: For the Centennial of Professor Boleslav V. Likhterman). Ordinarily, a book like that would certainly justify a solid keep, but it was edited by his son, Leonid Likhterman (apparently also a notable medical researcher), which somewhat depreciates its value as an independent source. Still, according to this library cataloghttp://82.207.126.95:1280/cgi-bin/irbis64r_72/cgiirbis_64.exe?C21COM=S&I21DBN=IBIS&P21DBN=IBIS&S21FMT=fullw&S21ALL=(%3C.%3EK%3DСАРАТОВ$%3C.%3E%2B%3C.%3EK%3DВАЛЕРИ$%3C.%3E%2B%3C.%3EK%3DВЛАДИМИРОВИЧ$%3C.%3E)&FT_REQUEST=&FT_PREFIX=&Z21ID=&S21STN=1&S21REF=10&S21CNR=20, the book is 495 pages long, so I assume it includes chapters by quite a few people who are independent of the subject. Also, I added a refhttp://www.worldcat.org/title/boleslav-vladimirovich-likhterman/oclc/103824516&referer=brief_results to a 1967 obituary about him in a Russian medical journal (of which, however, he was an editor, which again somewhat deprecates the value of this ref). Still, all in all, I think there is enough here to pass , even if the case is not strong
