New enough, long enough, meets core content policies. Hook cited to RS. GTG, though you may want to copy the citation so that it also appears in the sentence that the hook is in. --Jakob (talk) aka Jakec 13:52, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

This article cites only one source. Per Rule D12, one source is acceptable for an "obscure topic". However, Lebedeva is widely written up in English as well as Russian. I have added a bunch of URLs on the talk page to help improve the sourcing and provide her full name. Yoninah (talk) 01:46, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

@Yoninah and Jakec: Thanks so much for your help! I've added material from sources I had access to, that met RS, and that were in English - one of them turned out to be Russian in disguise. If you have access to either the Cook article or the first two books, I'd appreciate some help since I don't have access to either. Thanks again, Keilana (talk) 04:02, 20 November 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for adding those citations. I also added one. Unfortunately, I cannot access the Cook article. But the sourcing looks fine now. Restoring tick based on Jakec's review. Yoninah (talk) 23:16, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
