 * Delete. Article is entirely unreferenced. Apart from this online biography, which appears to date from 2009 and from which much of the content has been taken, there don't seem to be any sources online. The article is frozen in time, circa 2009-11, with no updates possible. Is the subject still alive? What is she doing now? The number of pageviews in the last three weeks has hovered between 0 and 2, the latter probably being bots or random page patrollers such as myself. Akld guy (talk) 02:50, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep. Prominent Russian environmentalist. WP:NEXIST. The current state of the article and its references do NOT determine notability. —МандичкаYO 😜 14:29, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep. She appears to have a number of interviews on Pravda radio2, and as a winner of the Goldman Environmental Prize here and here, which has been compared to the "Environmental Nobel prize" by one site, would seem to make her notable. In 2011, she was apparently significant enough to be named a "UN Champion of the Earth". Simple Google searches pulled up this information, and my limited Russian wasn't a hindrance to find more about her, so I'd hope that others with more fluency could demonstrate her notability even more.

 * Keep. Probably passes our notability guidelines as a recipient of multiple significant awards, . My very best wishes (talk) 02:52, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep - In addition to all of the above BBC has also covered her -Russian scientist and 2009 Goldman Prize recipient Olga Speranskaya brought the NGOs in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia together, turning them into an effective force which works to identify and eliminate the Soviet legacy of toxic chemicals in the environment. Seems notable and passes our notability guidelines.GizzyCatBella (talk) 04:59, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
