Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrei Doroshkevich
Despite Bearian's brash comment above, we are not dealing with a hoax here. The source cited in the article (the paper of Zel'dovich and Novikov) is not independent because Novikov was a co-aothor of the paper of Doroshkevich being discussed there, but the story itself is both well-known and is well-documented by multiple reliable sources completely independent from Doroshkevish and Novikov, and from Zel'dovich's Moscow school in general. There are quite a few western books, e.g. here https://books.google.com/books?id=RYw_vpXLSJEC&pg=PA241&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-oM_9wMvPAhVQ_WMKHWatBio4ChDoAQgrMAM#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=falsehttps://books.google.com/books?id=ZripBAAAQBAJ&pg=PT258&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-oM_9wMvPAhVQ_WMKHWatBio4ChDoAQglMAI#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=false, https://books.google.com/books?id=-TS0BILjwngC&pg=PA126&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi-oM_9wMvPAhVQ_WMKHWatBio4ChDoAQhOMAk#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=false,https://books.google.com/books?id=7STUCwAAQBAJ&pg=PT147&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiNxbXfwMvPAhUBW2MKHd1MDkwQ6AEIRDAH#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=false, https://books.google.com/books?id=vEJM7s909CYC&pg=PA45&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiNxbXfwMvPAhUBW2MKHd1MDkwQ6AEISjAI#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=false,https://books.google.com/books?id=3DqOARyWib4C&pg=PR11&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj0_f_lx8vPAhVH5GMKHX80CLQQ6AEIJDAB#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=false,https://books.google.com/books?id=KBWCdJlCfPIC&pg=PA62&dq=%22Andrei+Doroshkevich%22&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiqtafayMvPAhUJwmMKHT7lBTg4FBDoAQgfMAE#v=onepage&q=%22Andrei%20Doroshkevich%22&f=false, that recount the history of the Doroshkevish-Novikov paper, and explain the context of its relation to the work of  Penzais and Wilson, in substantial detail. The above references are just a small sample of what's available on this topic in the literature. However, as far as notability of  Doroshkevish is concerned, we may still be dealing with a  situation -- I am not sure
