No assertion of importance or significance. This recently translated BLP has been created by an account that admits COI/paid editing. Two images have been uploaded to support the article, both apparent resume photos, claimed by the page creator as "own work". Two quotes, apparently by the subject, are inserted with no attempt at citation but don't seem to appear in presented sources. Prior COI and Notability tags have been removed by page creator. On the merits, the article claims the subject is a working standup comic with some minor television credits, a low bar for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Since all of the presented sources are in the original Russian, I'm assuming good faith. However, this seems a purely promotional work with all the signs of likely paid editing.

Delete Article's a mess (literally - I tried it myself - a Google translate of the Russian), COI/UPE is an issue and sourcing is likewise all over the place. fails WP:GNG. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:03, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete this is not hard to figure out based on the sources/quality of the sources. The paid editing usually is a red flag for me that the subject isn't notable. If they were, people would write about them, for free, on wiki. Oaktree b (talk) 21:20, 21 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Leave the article, because there are also authoritative sources, the same first state channel in Russia, there is a separate story about this character, when he was still 12 years old, at the moment there are sources about his career! --Karol DEO (talk) 09:45, 22 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
