Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Elena Rumyantseva
Wow, this one is really quite something. I do not have a definitive opinion yet but at the moment I am leaning towards delete, based on  and  concerns. The article is clearly relentlessly self-promotional and looks to be a  or  case. I looked through the talk page of the ru-wiki version of the article and people there are also complaining about not being able to verify various things, about  issues with sources cited etc. Various googlenews, googlescholar and googlebooks searches for the name of the author (both in English and in Russian) also produce fairly little, which is hard to reconcile with the grand claims made in the article (here is a sample search in Russianhttp://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22Е.Е.%20Румянцева%22&lr=&hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=ps). I tried to do some worldcat searches for various versions of transliteration of the subject's name but did not find anything that looks like her books (maybe someone else should give it another try, though).  This is all pretty strange given the grandiose claims made in the article. One thing that does check out is the "best economist" prize but the people at the talk page of the ru-wiki version of the article claim that the organization that made the award is not really notable itself. Basically, I have no idea how we here can untangle this mess and decide what is and what is not verifiable from the information in the article and the current text does not look salvageable to me... If someone with some economics background and some knowledge of Russian can comment here, that'd be good
