Her IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0204920/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm) is really odd and way off for this. Her Bio shows her having multiple jobs, owning multiple companies and Russian websites. This is quite a confusing issue for me to determine if this is vandalism or not. Galendalia (talk) 01:43, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Contrary to what some editors seems to think, IMDb is not a reliable source. Just last week we determined one entry there had conflated two different actresses with the same name. We can not have an article on an actor or actress with that as the only source. When the person is alive, we need reliable sources for everything in the article, and here we have no reliable source and so need to scrap the article. The fact that this article has survived 13 days with this level of non-sourcing is disconcerting, the fact it has been 13 years is a sign that Wikipedia has need of major changes.John Pack Lambert (talk) 14:47, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
~~Do Not Delete~~ Someone previously vandalized this page and removed links and references.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Note that 18 sources were added to the article after it was nominated for deletion (diff).
Also, this discussion was listed at the 2020 April 25 AfD page (diff) despite being created on 26 April 2020 (perm link). At this point, just leaving this in place at the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2020 May 2 page, rather than reverting everything. So, this has been relisted one day early.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 04:27, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Keep~~ I don't see any legitimate reason to delete this article. Plenty of sources and citations by numerous media outlets. Her reporting is very valuable and widely cited.

Delete. Even the less puffy versions of the article were based heavily on IMDB, and I'm not seeing any of the sort of independent coverage that would establish notability per WP:BASIC. VQuakr (talk) 08:00, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: What a mess! 20 sources predominantly about "Russia", "Ukraine", "Putin", and "Trump" does not give notability to the subject and shows the article is likely improperly-titled. This seems to be a sock farm play ground and presently a pseudo biography. This is reportedly an encyclopedia not a "resume" listing site and consensus generally supports that IMDb should not determine notability. Otr500 (talk) 11:32, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
