It is not true. There is a significant coverage of him in Russian-language sources. Also, he has an important state award that means that he satisfies per rules criteria. Kirill C1 (talk) 13:58, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I added sources indicating notability, as well as some text. Kirill C1 (talk) 18:17, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Not quite a WP:HEY–this AfD was flawed originally–but the additions since the nomination have assured that this BLP is suitable for inclusion in accordance with WP:GNG. Appears to be an instance of failed WP:BEFORE. ~ Pbritti (talk) 23:35, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, besides notability, the article as originally "written" by User:Thriley was absolutely below minimal acceptable standards for the mainspace, I would had moved it back to draft space until it had a minimum of text and context, or I would had even supported a deletion per WP:TNT ("if the article's content is useless but the title might be useful, then delete the content to help encourage a new article" as "people tend to be more inclined to fill red links"). Now thanks to the improvements of other users it is barely acceptable, but I am a bit shocked in 2022 people still create 1-line biographies. Cavarrone 07:47, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Dubrovin is covered in many Russian news webpages for his numerous cameo roles and has an acknowledged state award (see examples of notability in Wikipedia:The GNG and notability for actors). I added some references according to WP:GNG. However, I believe that the article should be significantly expanded to better demonstrate the subject's notability.
