I declined a BLP PROD as this has sources, but they do not appear to be independent. Guy (Help!) 09:56, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: Article has category named Category:Recipients of the Order of Honour (Russia). In quick search I did not find sources saying he was awarded Order of Honour (Russia). But maybe deep search is needed or maybe Russian language sources needed for that. If he was really awarded Order of Honour (Russia) and someone finds such sources then article should be kept. Other categories are Category:Recipients of the Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class, Category:Recipients of the USSR State Prize. More search needed for these. If he got any of these awards then he is notable. Given sources are in Russian language. Maybe we need Russian expert. -- Human 3015   TALK   10:12, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep likely as this seems to have aspects of notability and acceptability. Pinging and . 05:31, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Did you go to the Russian Wikipedia? Did you do WP:BEFORE? I do not speak Russian, but this document clearly shows in google translate "he was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War II degree, Order of Glory III degree and the medal "For Courage";" it also shows that in 1988, film work by "Vladimir Zamansky was awarded the USSR State Prize", which the Russian Wikipedia states is a presidential decree and cites this document  as the source. I repeat, I don't speak Russian so can not confirm but AGF that it is what is claimed. The Russian Wikipedia also shows that his war record was looked up in a database here which is cited as evidence of his medal. The website states it is "a unique information resource open access "Feats of people in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945". The file is also attached to articles in French, Ukrainian and Polish. This article from the Ukrainian site confirms his USSR state prize. This article lists multiple awards as both an actor and a war veteran. Clearly notable. The fact that there were 4 wikis should have alerted you to look before you nominated. SusunW (talk) 23:04, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Peoples artist of RFSR should make him notable. Spartaz Humbug! 22:12, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
