- I actually disagree about Ecology of Russia, at the bottom of the page they say it is an independent media. I do not see why it is not reliable. It is indeed one bio out of the list, but I was able to confirm most of the text of the article using it. In addition, it talks about awards, and, indeed, I was able to confirm one of the awards by the UN press release (now all added to the article). I am leaning keep.

- Perhaps I was uncharitable in my assessment, I just don't think a content farm that is unlikely to verify anything they print is particularly reliable. All the same, WP:BASIC requires at least two independent, reliable sources, so this alone does not make Cherkasova notable. Akakievich (talk) 09:36, 17 June 2023 (UTC)]

- Comment An academic journal published by the University of Michigan has an entire article talking about her work [1] which goes a long way towards establishing notability. DaffodilOcean (talk) 10:58, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - she is also one of the people profiled in the 1998 book Women pioneers for the environment, which is now listed in the Further Reading section of the article. There are 6 pages of details on Cherkasova in that book. DaffodilOcean (talk) 11:19, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

- Keep per given the above book as well as [2][3] which both have sigcov. Additionally, they've had some success in academic publication themselves: [4] has 91 citations on google scholar, [5] has 1. Seem to be more, but I'm satisfied. —siroχo 19:01, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
