Non-notable military person. No military awards grant presumption of notability since deprecation of WP:SOLDIER. Could not find any sources independent of Ukrainian government (0 hits for Ukrainian name on Google News). (t · c) buidhe 10:35, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per norm. --Vaco98 (talk) 10:41, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Hero of Ukraine, the highest award of what is now a very significant country, clearly meets WP:ANYBIO #1. The statement that No military awards grant presumption of notability since deprecation of WP:SOLDIER is therefore simply not true. -- Necrothesp (talk) 16:24, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Passage of WP:ANYBIO does not mean this person is actually notable. ANYBIO is a guideline saying that the criterion makes a person likely to be notable. Nothing is known about this person other than the fact that he received the award, we don't even know what he did in battle to receive the award, or even anything else about him. ~XyNq^t_c 18:02, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete we need multiple sorces saying substantive things about people to show notability. Considering how widely the hero of Ukraine article is given, I do not think it meets what is being invoked by the any bio criteria.John Pack Lambert (talk) 18:16, 23 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete even if Hero of Ukraine meets WP:ANYBIO #1 that doesn't warrant a page as WP:BASIC is not satisfied. Seems more suitable for inclusion in List of Heroes of Ukraine. Mztourist (talk) 03:36, 24 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, per norm. Does not meet notability guidelines. Cannot boot strap on notability through winning an award. And it’s not shown through multiple RS sources that this person has won an award. Kierzek (talk) 12:08, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. He appears to be mentioned in this book in the context of 1989 mine strikes, and later in the context of Donetsk events in 2014. Are we sure that there isn't WP:SIGCOV? — Ⓜ️hawk10 (talk) 20:33, 26 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: This looks like a clear delete, but unclear whether the source Mhawk10 identified has been discussed by earlier contributors
