 * what concerns do you have that make you feel the sources are not credible? Flibirigit (talk) 00:23, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * This source is an archive of the Youth of Siberia newspaper. This second source is the hockey team Barnaul, which is part of the Dynamo Sports Club. Does that answer your question? Flibirigit (talk) 01:13, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
 * we often give an AGF (assume good faith) tick to articles sourced largely or entirely by foreign-language references. It's not necessary to run the sources through Google Translate, which often turns up strange translations. If the nominator is a regular at DYK (which he is), you can assume good faith. Looking at this article, I see the two English-language sources verify that he exists. You can go ahead and give this a gray AGF tick. Yoninah (talk) 02:07, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
