Grigoriy Dobrygin

(

)

... that actor and director Grigoriy Dobrygin (pictured), who has been called the "Russian James Franco", is a classically trained ballet dancer who studied at the Bolshoi Theatre?

Meets 5x expansion criteria. Searched on tineye.com, looks like the image is original to wikipedia and not a copyvio. Overall looks OK to me (aside from Russian-lang source below), through James Franco and Bolshoi Theatre could be wikilinked. The hook is moderately interesting; I would have gone with something like '... that famous actor Grigoriy Dobrygin (pictured) is a classically trained ballet dancer whose father was a Russian submarine captain?'

The James Franco fact is cited to Russian sources, but I don't speak Russian so I don't know how to proceed. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 20:27, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

@Rolf h nelson: This article is a five-fold expansion. It is new enough and long enough. There are inline citations for the hook facts but the sources were in Russian so I was unable to verify them. However, I am happy to assume good faith as the claims are unremarkable and there is no reason to doubt their veracity. The image is suitably licensed and the article is neutral, but I was unable to check for copyright issues because of the language problem. Good to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:18, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
