fails WP:BIO. I searched gnews for her name in English and Azerbaijani and got nothing. 1 gnews hit in Russian. gbooks only gives her 2 hits and one of them used Wikipedia as a ref. article claims her career started in 1930 yet she was born then? LibStar (talk) 00:29, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

G3 obvious hoax; she couldn't have started career in the same year she was born. No hits anywhere for "History Laid Away on Archive Shelves" either; if the article existed I'm sure it'd turn up at least something. The external links make no mention of her.

The sources are very thin at best. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 03:58, 14 January 2011 (UTC) Keep per HW's improvements.

Keep per awards in sourcing found by HW. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:38, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Keep. Aside from a bit of poor phrasing inserted in the article by a non-native English speaker (which I've repaired), the problems in the article seem to stem from the fact that there's no standard transliteration of the subject's name, and that most of the coverage isn't English-language. But the central facts in the article can be verified via the online-accessible obituaries and subsequent eulogies (some of which I've now cited in the aricle. The honors and awards mentioned in those texts should be enough to demonstrate notabiliry: the subject played an important cultural role in her country, and received both official honors and significant professional recognition in her field for her work.

Keep per the improvements by Hullaballoo Wolfowitz. Lovetinkle (talk) 05:18, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
keep I came over here after an AN thread discussing her notability. I found two articles co-written by Fischeva, either in English originally or an excellent translation, plus an American piece that gives her special thanks as a resource. Definitely a notable person.
