Completely unreferenced. I've had a good look at Google (including news and books) and cannot find anything. It could just be that she's a pre-internet Russian, but the chances of there being absolutely zilch seem slim. The person that made this page has not edited any other page.

 * Delete I cannot find anything either, so it fails WP:V, WP:N, and WP:GNG. I am of the opionion that it could have been tagged as db-hoax since nothing can be found online to verify it.  Also, the article creator has not made any edits since creating the article. Whose Your Guy (talk) 21:06, 16 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: I found the name mentioned in Memories of Lenin, Volume 2, but the dates are for before the subject in the article were born.

 * Delete: Suspect WP:HOAX. Can't find any refs to the English writer mentioned either. Eddie.willers (talk) 22:52, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete - Running a Google search on the Cyrillic name, I come up with an Aннa Никифоровнa born 1892. Adding the purported birth and death dates of 1926 and 1998 returns fuck-all. There is no page for that name in Russian Wikipedia, which sets off warning bells for a modern opposition leader. Let's just call her "no notability demonstrated" and leave it at that. Hoax likely.

 * Delete Obvious delete. Not sourced at all. Oceansummer87 (talk) 10:57, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per lack of sourcing and failure of WP:V. Beyond that, even if the content of the article were verifiable, it doesn't have much in the way of a detailed and specific claim of significance for her. —David Eppstein (talk) 04:24, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
