Comment I see nothing in GScholar or JSTOR using the English name, might find some in the Russian language, tells me she's not notable though. Oaktree b (talk) 16:17, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete until someone fluent in Russian and with suitable expertise has looked for sources. A Russian scientist who died in 1979 would have spent their early working-career in a time when the East was an unknown world, the second half in a time when the East and West were separated by the iron curtain, with almost no flow of technical information, and both halves at a time before the internet and the universality of English. Any useful source about this person is bound to be in Russian and historical (and probably quite difficult for non-experts to find), but that doesn't mean they weren't notable.

There are more details on her work here [1], but it will take more digging to find the sources mentioned in the article, and I am uncertain as to the origin of the webpage DaffodilOcean (talk) 04:15, 1 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, as [2], [3], significant coverage excited. Her notability proved. Alimovvarsu (talk) 08:51, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, having a look at the references in the article and from above editors using good old (or not:)) gtranslate, a couple of the links dont work, this source does not appear reliable (although the infomation may be correct), being submitted to an "anyone can contribute" site by someone called "Farmer", but the remaining sources look okay so i am leaning towards a keep.
