I don't know if I'm just missing something here or what but this doesn't appear to be a notable person outside of sharing a last name. The only source is a primary site which supports nothing in this article. This is bordering on a hoax/grand exaggeration. Praxidicae (talk) 21:10, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I really wanted there to be notability here, but I couldn't find anything that supports it. FOARP (talk) 21:47, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Obviously, he does not have notability just as a member of a royal family, WP:NOTINHERITED. I have found one source - 'For Russian Royal in US, Personal Struggle Unlocks Family History' [1]. I don't know whether that is considered a reliable source, but anyway it's only one. I haven't searched in Russian yet, but have searched on variations of his name, including Michael Romanoff-Ilyinsky and Michael Romanov-Ilyinsky.

Delete promotional crap (he led a rather cheerful life, until he got into a car accident in 1982, which he miraculously survived) with no claims of importance or significance (apart from the claim of being descended from a royal house) and no independent references. power~enwiki (π, ν) 00:19, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per WP:NOTINHERITED. It looks like the claim of royal descent is valid, but this is still nowhere close to notable. Bradv🍁 01:12, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per a recent discussion about Elizabeth II's great grandchild. Cabayi (talk) 09:22, 4 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:GNG - G-searches turned up no independent, reliable sources with significant coverage. A NYT obit for his father mentions him and there was a opinion piece in a Russian focused tabloid (mentioned above), - neither of which meets requirements to establish notability. Didn't check Russian Language sources but there was one listed in article history,"(here)".. This appears to be an interview with subject which doesn't help with notability as it is not independent.
