RichBot: Removing invalid templates from drafts failure

RichBot's task "Removing invalid templates from drafts" failed to run per the configuration specified at Wikipedia:Bot activity monitor/Configurations. Detected only 0 edits in the last 1 day, whereas at least 1 was expected. If/when the issue is fixed, please change the section title (e.g. append " - Fixed") or remove this section completely. When that is done, this notice will be reposted if the bot task is still broken or is re-broken. If your bot is behaving as expected, then you may want to modify the task configuration instead. Or to unsubscribe from bot failure notifications, remove the |notify= parameter from the {{/task}} template. Thanks! – SDZeroBot (talk) 03:20, 26 June 2022 (UTC)

Pavel Rudakov

Hello!

As for sections "Early life" and "Duet Rudakov & Nechayev," I used the book "Estrada in Russia. XX century. Encyclopedia", prepared by the team of the State Institute of Art Studies (Государственный институт искусствознания) employees, edited by Elizaveta Uvarova (Doctor of Sciences in the field of art history (1985), Professor (1993)), and published in 2004. This book is main scientific work dedicated to Russian and Soviet XX century estrada. There is no reason to doubt the reliability of this source. The article dedicated to estrada duet Rudakov & Nechayev is on the pages 584-585. Also this estrada duet is mentioned on the page 322, in the article dedicated to the coupletist genre. Moreover, Pavel Rudakov is mentioned on other pages as a mentor of different performers. I think it's enough to match the General notability guideline.

As for section "Filmography", you might have noticed that IMDb is not only one source that I had used. I also used the Russian-language database of film actors КИНО-ТЕАТР.РУ. The content placed on this website is not user-generated, the website has its own editorial office [5]. It is reliable source.

I consider your decision to decline the draft wrong. K8M8S8 (talk) 18:15, 5 July 2022 (UTC)
