Olena Chekan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I've tried, but I just can't see the notability of this person. She apparently has a minute and uncredited non-speaking part in Solaris (clip available on YouTube, not linking per WP:LINKVIO). Unfortunately I speak neither Russian nor Ukrainian, so please forgive me if I have overlooked substantial in-depth coverage in solid independent reliable sources in either of those languages. I did try looking for sources under "Yelena Chekan" as well as "Olena Chekan". Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 19:21, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete I cleaned it up by removing all the horrible genealogy stuff but what was left was very light and I'm afraid it doesn't make the grade. Fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG certainly a family hommage page. Dom from Paris (talk) 19:50, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment I'm not much help beyond this, but a google search "Олени Чекан" (taken from the Russian and Ukranian Wikipedia articles) returns a significant amount of material. Is any of it reliable?  I can't tell.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 15:01, 16 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep, She was the actress in more than 20 films, author and performer of more than 10 theatrical monos, a screenwriter of several films, author of a book, television presenter. --Perohanych (talk) 02:15, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I have deleted some of the worst messes from this article before but they keep reappearing. I do believe she is notable (you need to look for Russian/Ukrainian sources; her UK wiki article seems to have been written by independent editors), but her EN wiki article has been hijacked by her son who is intent to pile on anything and everything disregarding any kind of Wikipedia conventions (apparent WP:CIR issues). So to clean up this article, we can either ban the son or delete the article. Renata (talk) 15:58, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment I just spoke with the son of Olena Chekan and persuaded him to stop editing the page about his mother. Perohanych (talk) 18:04, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep agree per, meet WP:NACTOR. 74.50.214.141 (talk) 21:23, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment There is a misuse of WP:NACTOR here which says had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions.
 * Which of her movies are Wikipedia notable here? None. I have no opinion about the subject and it seems she may meet WP:GNG anyways (though this article needs to be rewritten to go along with the sources), so no !vote for me. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 10:03, 5 December 2018 (UTC)
