NN-bio. Delete or Userfy abakharev 09:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * - She even has a biography on a TV site so she is quite a famous play critic and is also the head of the theater department.Abc85 11:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This link is her profile at Kultura (a federal TV channel), it confirms that she's the head of archive programming department. Conscious 11:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, seems to be a notable person: . Conscious 11:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, what's the evidence that she's not notable? Rklawton 12:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V. It is up to the author to provide the evidence in the article through appropriate references, not the nominator. Read:
 * Verifiability
 * Reliable sources
 * Citing sources
 * No original research    KarenAnn 13:22, 19 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:BIO and WP:V. Subject is not notable. The fact that her employer posted a biography of her is irrelevant. WP:BIO requires "An independent biography." There's no evidence cited that she has received multiple independent reviews or awards for her work, contributed to the enduring historical record of TV personalities and/or theater critics, been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works, etc. The burden of proof rests with the author(s) of the article to demonstrate (under WP:BIO and WP:V guidelines) that the subject is notable.

 * Comment I'd think a hundred Google hits in Russian is reasonably significant - especially when the hits are coming from the media who are quoting the subject. Rklawton 16:19, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment - the point is that the article needs to be referenced. I've gotten 3,500,000 hits on Google for an article name that was eventually deleted because all those hits in the end were referring to other things. You know how Google is -- you have to check out each link and see if it is significant or even relevant and not referring to another person or product with the same or similar name.

 * Comment - good point. I read through the first page of links and they were all relevant - as per my comment that many involved media interviews citing this person.  Also not that lack of sources isn't a reason for deleting an article - it's a reason for editing an article (as opposed to "no sources available").  Rklawton 17:01, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Re-write to meet the WP:BIO/WP:V criteria. If not possible, then delete.&mdash;Ëzhiki (Igels Hérissonovich Ïzhakoff-Amursky) • (yo?); 17:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. KNewman 18:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete. Article provides no assertion of notability per WP:BIO. TV station staffers are not inherantly notable. -- Wine Guy  Talk  22:06, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: I think "head of the theatrical department" for  TV Kultura is a very remarkable claim of notability.  Theatre is a very big deal in Russia and it's pretty much the reason for TV Kultura's existance.  So basically, she holds the key role in a major Russian channel, and the Russian news media comes to her for quotes.  Rklawton 02:07, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * keep please this person does seem notable passes bio guideline Yuckfoo 19:59, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
