No assertion of notability, due to poor-sourcing. BLGM5 (talk) 20:12, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete In January and February 2010 I had a conversation on my talk page with Natalia Sosnina about the kind of sources necessary. (Preserved in this archive.) She seemed to be sincerely trying to find sources which satisfied Wikipedia's criteria, but unfortunately failed to do so. My own searches had likewise failed to find suitable searches. The external links and references in the article were all to promotional sources not independent of the subject. A few hours after the article was nominated for this AfD a new user with no previous editing history started editing the article in an attempt to establish notability. (This user put on their own talk page "Hi, i am trying to collect more information for wikipedia page to get this in line with your guidlance and rules, please delete the note that the article sent for deletion i m atrying to collect materials now (RE: Natalia Sosnina for wikipedia page) Thank you!!"). Amongst other things the new user added ten links. Of these links one was to the Wikipedia Category:Ballroom dancers: presumably the idea is that we can see that Sosnina is listed there (with the editor not realising that all this tells us is that a link to the category has been placed in the article). Another one of the links is to a search page: presumably the idea is that we can search for Sosnina there if we like. The other eight links are all to advertising pages or press releases, whether advertising for Sosnina herself, for organisations she works for, or whatever. Consequently the result of this editing is no change: we do not have as much as a single independent source of any kind, reliable or not, substantial or not. Since several editors (including myself and Natalia Sosnina herself) have made concerted efforts to find such sources and failed, I am much inclined to think they don't exist.

 * Comment. One might appeal to WP:ATHLETE as she has competed in Dancesport.  According to the article, she has won an International DanceSport Federation 2003 Open in Belgrade amongst her other accomplishments.  If that can be verified as a top level competition, then she would arguably is competing at the highest level of her sport.  Note that there is a dancer named "Natalya Sosnina", see here.  I'm guessing this is just a different spelling of her name. -- Whpq (talk) 17:20, 10 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete -- no notability demonstrated in any source, and insufficient sources to support the claims. N2e (talk) 18:53, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- per nom, and WP:ATHLETE doesn't seem to apply since the 2003 event doesn't seem to be on par with the Olympics or the like. Novaseminary (talk) 22:08, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
