Notability
I'm questioning if this article meets notability criterion, there is only one notable event related to this person, which is that she is Putin's first female colonel to die in his war in Ukraine. Gohan71 (talk • contribs) 19:44, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Gohan71, I think it meets well WP:GNG. Also she was awarded Hero of the DPR and Hero of the Russian Federation. And while it is true that she is mostly notable for being first female colonel to die, she already had some articles written about her and interviews before her death.

 * I came to the talk page wondering the same thing. I arrived at the article by accident (was looking for another person with a similar name) but was curious enough to stay and read it. It reads to me like the story of a random "Ukrainian pro-Russian separatist," something you'd find in a news article rather than on Wikipedia. That she received those medals by itself does not justify, I'd think, an article. With all due respect to all valiant soldiers who jump on grenades to save their comrades or storm enemy lines with a knife between their teeth, war is war and Wikipedia is not here to commemorate all of them. If the notability was due to her Hero of the Russian Federation medal, I'd have expected to hear more of what she did to deserve it, beyond "exhibiting heroism."
 * As for judging the article per WP:GNG, I don't think it really stands the "Sources" criterion. All the citations but two are of articles following her death. The other two are interviews with her about being a woman in the military (in one of which, and I share this anecdotally, she was asked what she would wear to the surrender of Kyiv and whether she bought perfume when she had been seen entering a cosmetics store), so pieces of propaganda if you want to judge them harshly or merely pieces of "inside look into the military" in which she participated not for who she was or what she had done but because of what she stood for, women fighting in the military.
