Comment - the article appears to be a heavily promotional autobiography. It was created by, heavily edited by, and images uploaded by Юлия Долгорукова which translates to the name of the artist. I'm still checking into the sourcing, however an online search revealed nothing that could substantiate the claims that shes in all those museum collections. Whenever I see an artist's article (other than perhaps an "old master" or very well known modern/contemporary artist) with a huge image gallery, it's usually a hint that it's just a promotional advertorial work, just my two cents. Will !vote when I look into sourcing more thouroughly. Netherzone (talk) 18:32, 27 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment tried the Latin script spelling of her name, not much of anything comes up. Might be more Russian sources, leaning delete at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 01:14, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Oaktree b, her Russian WP aritlce [1] has lots of sources, but I don't read Russian, so I can't tell if these are reliable sources or not. What we need is an editor who is fluent to help out. Netherzone (talk) 03:34, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If it is any help I read Russian and imo none of these sources meet WP standards of reliability (independent assessment). The fact that there are no non-Russian sources speaks for itself.--Smerus (talk) 07:02, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete based on the source review my Smerus. Oaktree b (talk) 14:00, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep Hello, dear sirs! I want to point out the nominator's mistakes. Firstly, there is information in English, you can read that Julia Dolgorukova is the first modern famous Russian artist who became the prototype of the main character of a feature film[2]. Secondly, there are articles about it in other languages, for example, in Finnish[3]. Thirdly, there is a catalog of the famous exhibition in English, where it is listed among the participants[4]. Fourth, the official newspaper of the Ministry of Culture of Russia "CULTURE" wrote about it in 1995[5]. Fifth, there are official documents from museums that her paintings are in these museums, for example:[6]. Sixth, the official portal of the Ministry of Culture of Russia currently reports on her exhibitions:[7][8]. In the Russian wikipedia, this article was nominated for deletion 11 years ago, but following the discussion it was abandoned. A leading art expert from St. Petersburg took part in the discussion.

Comment Kultura newspaper - the main newspaper about culture in Russia. An article in this newspaper is proof of the person's significance. 1995!Олег Черкасский (talk) 15:29, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Comment There are only two other famous contemporary artists in the world who have become prototypes of the main characters of feature films: these are Gerhard Richter and Margaret Keane.Олег Черкасский (talk) 15:37, 28 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
