Seems like more of a newspaper story than an encylopedia article. Pollytyred (talk) 17:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete per nom. Not notable. JohnCD (talk) 17:23, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I considered creating this article a few days ago as I thought there was a serious chance of notability, although didn't want to do so just yet. Unusually, she was a female bodyguard to a notable boxer, a model, and died an unusual death. There are definitely news sources in English about her death and life, and if sources from before that exist in Russian I might be inclined towards a keep here.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 17:33, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I mean, the current version of this article is poorly written, but there are at least claims to notability here plus verifiable coverage.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 17:41, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Cited by many news websites (several pages on Google), noted by the Times (London) as Russia's most famous female bodyguard, noted model (Chanel, BMW), featured in magazines (Maxim and others) including interviews (this was BEFORE her death so she had some notability even before her murder).

  • Comment there are 38,000 or so hits for her name in Russian quoted. I of course can't do anything with any of these links, but if someone with Russian ability could go through and determine if something worthwhile is there, then I'm all for keeping. matt91486 (talk) 23:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
  • I agree. It's unfortunate that I only speak English, because it'd help in certain AfD debates if I knew more languages. I understand elementary French and most of the Scots language, but that's about it.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 03:28, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep International english language coverage, so i do not understand the concern about knowledge of russian.DGG (talk) 04:25, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. The articles referenced may have been written in response to her death, but they make it clear that she was already notable while alive, with phrases such as, "Russia's most famous female bodyguard" (Daily Mail), "One of the world's most famous female bodyguards" (KUTV), "for many Russians, a feminine icon" (CNN), and "a well-known model" (Moscow News). Phil Bridger (talk) 15:20, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep - according to several English sources she was notable before hand as well, even an "icon" Epson291 (talk) 22:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Widely reported news story of the "world's most famous female bodyguard". Meets minimum threshhold for notability. Kershner (talk) 23:47, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep Per Above. Chandlerjoeyross (talk) 00:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable in the media before her death. Notable enough for starting a female bodyguard firm and being a prominent model with a Maxim spread. NTK (talk) 20:08, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
