Notability is not inherited. Being Tolstoy's granddaughter doesn't automatically make her notable. Article completely unsourced. Furthermore, a googling turned up literally nothing about her. She seems to fail WP:NBIO. The article is also tagged as a hoax, I make no judgement as to whether it is, but the possibility exists. CaptainEek Edits Ho Cap'n!⚓ 18:28, 1 February 2020 (UTC)

 * I never said it demonstrated notability, it's just a piece of evidence indicating that Ekaterina Tolstaya at the very least existed, since the nominator suggested that the article might have been an outright hoax. Ionmars10 (talk) 17:56, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
