Article created by user Mmendras and thus seems to violate WP:COI and WP:SPIP. No reliable sources. One reference cited seems to provide nominal coverage of the personality. Doubt whether this is Notable (see WP:N). Veryhuman (talk) 04:31, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. From WP:COI: "Conflict of interest is not a reason to delete an article". 100+ Google news hits over a 15 year period suggest WP:GNG is satisfied. Pburka (talk) 04:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep The question is whether she meets the general notability guidelines or the WP:ACADEMIC guidelines, rather than whether this is autobiographical. I've added a couple of references into the article itself; in addition one can see her work getting discussed in books such as this. AllyD (talk) 22:17, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:PROF criterion #1 (significant impact in scholarly discipline, broadly construed). Has at least one book, “Soviet foreign policy in an uncertain world“, currently in more than 500 major libraries worldwide according to WorldCat.--Eric Yurken (talk) 19:47, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
