This article survived a PROD but several editors who researched this article believe it is a hoax. It was tagged for speedy deletion but I think it deserves the consideration that an AFD can bring rather than a quick admin evaluation. Please review the talk page for the ongoing discussion.

If participants here believe it to be an obvious hoax, well, we can always close this early with a speedy deletion decision. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 08:02, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Thank you for nominating this. I removed the PROD because it seemed to me worth discussing and, therefore, not an obvious hoax. This story seems to have crept it's way into some otherwise respectable newspapers, probably to fill a space. Ideally there'd be reliable sources saying it isn't true and it's just trash journalism – but that is maybe too much to hope for. My reason for deletion isn't based, so far as I know, on any policies or guidelines but simply because I don't like the article and think we'd be better off without it.

Delete - Although the article is related to Russia, I could not find any mentions of these characters in Russian on Google Books. I seriously doubt its contents because Ivanova (Иванова) is not even a proper name but surname with a female ending.ThegaBolt (talk) 15:25, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete You'd expect lots of reliable sources for something like this. Instead nada. Unless someone can come up with reliable sources we all missed we should assume that this is a hoax – and not a notable one. -- Random person no 362478479 (talk) 02:54, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
