Delete - all citations are stats pages and mentions, nothing significant. Shinadamina (talk) 05:17, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The corresponding Russian article has a few decent sources, such as [[1]] and [[2]]. We probably need to look a bit closer into sources from Russia here to determine if the subject is notable or not. Let'srun (talk) 01:10, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Strong keep. Why are you nominating/voting if you can't do a one-minute search?
Here: [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9]. (The last one is about her as a coach and about Zahra Lari who she coaches.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:54, 7 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Why are you voting if you can't be troubled to acquaint yourself with the provisions of WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV? Your first link isn't about the subject, but is an interview from her (which is explicitly debarred from counting towards notability, as the subject's own words is not a reliable source) about her coach. Second link: another interview of the subject. Third link: another interview of the subject. Fourth link: another interview of the subject. Fifth link: another interview of the subject. Sixth link: another interview of the subject. Seventh link ... you got it, another interview of the subject. Not a SINGLE ONE of your links is a third-party, independent reliable source, and I strongly recommend you review the requirements for the same before serving up more link salad.

- Here's another source:
  "Тренер Трусовой, почти партнерша Жубера, резонансная Иевлева: кто соревновался с Туктамышевой на ее 1-м ЧР (2008)". Sport24. 2022-12-26. Retrieved 2025-01-08.
  There is a short biography. --Moscow Connection (talk) 22:15, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  "Short" is right: three sentences about her skating career. Ravenswing 06:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  - 7 sentences. (Long sentences. 2 paragraphs.)
    Did you come here to support Bgsu98? First, you appeared at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Bgsu98 mass-nominating articles for deletion and violating WP:BEFORE. Then, you came to the nominations where I commented. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:32, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Ahem. I have participated, by one editor's count, in over 4700 unique AfD discussions. You seem to be more focused in attacking editors who say or do things you don't like than in seeking genuine, reliable sources to buttress the notability of the articles you seek to save. Would you like those editors to start openly questioning your motivations and agenda? Ravenswing 21:40, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Update. I found a short biography of hers and expanded the article a bit: [10]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:56, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
[11] ← Here's another news article dedicated to her. Yes, there's just one sentence, and then a quote from Ievleva herself. But the sentence is one-paragraph long, it says: "This year's Russian Championships silver medalist, Alexandra Ievleva, took the 11th place at the European Championship in Warsaw, which is the best result among all the debutantes." --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:45, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Another interview: [12] (Championat.com). And another one: [13] (Sportbox.ru). --Moscow Connection (talk) 21:45, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Another interview: [14]. (There's more than just her own words, there's also a short introduction.) --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:33, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Another interview: [15]. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:34, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a biographical article on a website named Women's Sports (Женский спорт): [16].
The text is not taken from the Russian Wikipedia, it is completely different and is well-written. The website seems to be some kind of a web magazine made by a company named Ilin Group. --Moscow Connection (talk) 23:41, 9 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Ooof. Let me see if I can make this more plain. Interviews of the subject cannot count towards supporting notability. Two: A single sentence does not count towards the required "significant coverage." This just can't be that hard to grasp. It doesn't matter if you throw up half a hundred interviews, namedrops, routine match results or casual mentions. 0+0+0+0+0=0. This really is the time for you to read WP:SIGCOV, and not WP:REFBOMB us with any more irrelevant and non-qualifying links. Ravenswing 12:43, 10 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Fails significant coverage criteria. As noted above the new suggested sources are not significant by current Wikipedia standards.
