The result was speedy keep. per SK1 - I genuinely couldn't find bugger all but maybe I did search her entire name ?... I dunno but thanks finding & listing 'em :) (non-admin closure) – Davey 2010 Talk 21:21, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Non notable actress, Her RU WP article doesn't have any better sources either, Can't find anything for her Russian name (even on RU Google!) and her English name only has mentions so fails GNG – Davey 2010 Talk 16:39, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep I didn't care for Stalingrad but according to the article and her IMDb page she's had "multiple" major roles -- includes Daughter and this new Fort Ross film -- to meet WP:NACTOR. Not all of her roles have been "major" but these three are, and three is my own rule of thumb for "multiple." Also Stalingrad was an immensely big deal in the history of modern Russian cinema and her role was key. Finally, I don't know how you're doing your Russian Google search but I had no difficulty in finding results for her using her Cyrillic name, including this interview.

 * No doubt about it she does meet NACTOR but BLPs need to meet GNG too which she doesn't, The interview source is great but there obviously needs to be more sources than just an interview. – Davey 2010 Talk 17:11, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, no, "People are likely to be notable if they meet any of the following standards." And how would you know if she meets GNG or not, you couldn't even do a decent Russian Gsearch? Look all of this policy stuff has got to be leavened with a bit of commonsense. I for one am satisfied she meets NACTOR and is notable, Shawn in Montreal (talk) 19:26, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
 * Err I think you'll find I did do a decent search.... Just because I can't find sod all doesn't mean anyone else can't!, Like with all my AFDs if people can find stuff I can't I'll then withdraw!, I'm not going to argue - IMHO she fails GNG which more often than not overrides NACTOR but whatever, – Davey 2010 Talk 19:54, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep per significant coverage - well known in Russia ,,,,. Note here she's referred to as "the brightest actress of our day". I'm not sure why you couldn't find coverage, unless you tried to search for her full name in quotes with patronymic (middle).  —Мандичка YO 😜 19:29, 18 December 2015 (UTC)
