@Rolf h nelson: You must have missed my comment on your talk page which explains that the information is now quite broadly sourced by TV Rain, Meduza and Yandex himself[1] as well as the edit adding all remaining sources in the article itself[2]. Please discuss before deleting anything with factually incorrect explanation. Cloud200 (talk) 14:00, 30 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for opening a discussion on the Talk page. No, I don't consider Yandex nor Yandex competitor Meduza to be WP:RS for establishing that this coverage is WP:DUE. We can ask for a third opinion if you like. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 04:06, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but your personal opinion or lack of knowledge does not replace the WP:RS guidance. Your first revert was justified by the fact that "TV Rain is not WP:RS", which demonstrates either bias or poor knowledge of Russian media as TV Rain is one of the most popular non-government-controlled media in Russia and is used as reference in dozens of articles on Wikipedia. However, because it's a Russian-only reference, I provided you with further two references which was rather easy as the case was widely discussed in Russia. You have not bothered to even respond to that but continued edit warring with justifications that were just as vague as factually false. Now, claiming that Meduza or Yandex are not WP:RS, and describing Meduza as "Yandex competitor", clearly demonstrates lack of basic knowledge about media in Russia. Meduza is not "Yandex competitor" but second primary non-government-controlled media platform in Russia while Yandex is the primary search platform there. And now Meduza has also English-language coverage for the case. Therefore I'm restoring the paragraph now with four references and if you have any issues with this please discuss here rather than edit warring. Cloud200 (talk) 08:37, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I feel that you're the one edit-warring here. Popularity doesn't automatically make a source an WP:RS, also non-government-controlled media in Russia aren't allowed to get very popular in the first place so it's a weird statistic. I am not an expert on Russian media, so feel free to inform me with citations, what is TV Rain's fact-checking policy? As far as Meduza, the Guardian stated [3] that Maduza "will aggregate news from Russian-language media as well as producing its own content", which seems to me like a competitor to Yandex. This doesn't outright disqualify Meduza as a source, but it does suggest caution unless there's strong evidence that meduza is WP:RS. Rolf H Nelson (talk) 04:56, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Notes section

I am confused about the notes section. Could someone clarify what it is referring to? Is there a link I a missing to a certain section of the article? Thanks. -10:36, 20 August 2020 (UTC)

According to Vladimir Kara-Murza, the symptoms of Navalny are similar to symptoms Kara-Murza experienced himself when he was poisoned in 2015 and 2017 (twice), see Vladimir_Vladimirovich_Kara-Murza#Illnesses - ref: [4]. My very best wishes (talk) 18:50, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sergei Sobyanin, a Putin appointee .

How can one speak of appointee about the result of an election by vote ?Chiloa (talk) 12:28, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sobyanin was mayor from 2010 and asked Putin in 2013 to resign who then appointed him as acting mayor to hold a snap election. Mellk (talk) 13:11, 21 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting Suspected poisoning​ from the Alexei Navalny article

I propose that the section Alexei Navalny#Suspected poisoning be split into a separate page called Alexei Navalny suspected poisoning. The content about the poisoning seems to me to be sufficiently different and would draw enough attention to need its own article. This section is currently large enough to make its own page.

I would leave behind something like this:

=== Suspected poisoning ===
Main article: Alexei Navalny suspected poisoning
On 20 August 2020, Navalny fell ill during a flight from Tomsk to Moscow and was hospitalised in the Emergency City Clinical Hospital No. 1 in Omsk (Russian: Городская клиническая больница скорой медицинской помощи №1), where the plane had made an emergency landing. The change in his condition on the plane was sudden and violent, and video footage showed crewmembers on the flight scurrying towards him and him crying in pain loudly.[1]
Afterwards, his spokeswoman said that he was in a coma and on a ventilator in the hospital. She also said that Navalny only drank tea since the morning and that it was suspected that something was mixed into his drink. The hospital said that he was in a stable but serious condition, and after initially acknowledging that Navalny had probably been poisoned, the hospital's deputy chief physician told reporters that poisoning was "one scenario among many" being considered.[1]
Wikinews has related news:
A plane was sent from Germany to evacuate Navalny from Russia for treatment at the Charité in Berlin, after the doctors treating him in Omsk had initially declared he was too sick to be transported[2] but later released him.[3][4]
