OK, as my changes to the pages have been reverted twice by the same editor, the last time with the comment that "their names shouldn't be repeated in a foreign lang, and there shouldn't be links to foreign lang articles", I'll try to explain myself here.
I originally visited this page looking for the ice hockey player taking part in the 2001 World Championship, and he was not on the page. I visited the Russian and Finnish pages and added the individuals present there. I hardly see any way to avoid repeating the term Yuri Kuznetsov on this page if it sounds too foreign, and I don't think we should translate it into George Smith even if Yuri means George and Kuznetsov means Smith.
Per MOS:DAB I don't see anything against putting entries with a red link, as long as they are likely to have their own page, which I believe they are because these pages exist on another Wikipedia. I don't see anything either against putting a foreign language link using the {{ ill}} template, because these links will disappear once the page is created; it is the purpose of this template.
I made a new attempt at organising the page, please discuss here what you like and don't like before deleting valid information or sorting. I hope with consensus we can find an acceptable way to make changes. Place Clichy ( talk) 16:51, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
I still disagree, I think this looks messy, doesn't meet the guidelines and it is highly unlikely to be useful to the average user, who if they could read Russian would probably have gone there first to look for a Russian person. In my edit summary, I seem not to have been clear when talking about foreign language repetition of the names, I meant the link to the Russian articles, not that the page should be called George Smith. I tagged it for clean-up to get further opinions, because I think if people are in favour of this approach, then the guidelines should be changed.

Removed 08:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC); please strike thru each of the following entries thus (surrounding with <s> </s>) for the convenience & efficiency of later editors, when you adapt it to put a valid entry on the accompanying article Dab page. The info already struck thru may aid editors but would be clutter on the
Dab page, w/o facilitating Dab'n.
