Does not meet notability standards. Charlie the Pig (talk) 01:44, 17 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, source, and re-write. Obviously the article needs a complete re-write and sourcing. However, this artist is notable. She was featured in this magazine article. She has sung leading roles at a major opera house, the Queen of the Night in The Magic Flute and Adele in Die Fledermaus at the Prague State Opera ([see here) in addition to performing leading roles at the Estates Theatre and the Kazan Opera House in Russia. In June of this year she made a recording with the Prague Symphony Orchestra. In August 2012 she was a soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic. 4meter4 (talk) 04:37, 19 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I agree Keep, she seems sufficiently notable, but rewrite is needed as suggested above.--Smerus (talk) 07:46, 20 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm keep only if it can actually be improved (if not, then 'delete) because I'm not seeing much aside from this and this but I would have to see how the minimal improvement is. SwisterTwister talk 04:06, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
keep -- I think it would not be too bad if wikified. Peterkingiron (talk) 15:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It looks a lot better now I have wikified it, but it still needs more categories.

I don't think her achievements merit an article on Wikipedia; there are enough sources for some of her accomplishments, but they are still very minor ones. One thing: I can't find anywhere that she was a soloist with the Berlin Philharmonic; that is, if true a major achievement, but there's nothing in the Berlin Phil's archive. I played, before retiring, with major orchestras in Europe and the States and I can smell an exaggeration in a musician's bio in a second! Delete. --88.12.77.21 (talk) 00:50, 23 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Her website has pictures of her performance with the Berlin Philharmonic. Obviously not an acceptable reference for wikipedia, but promising that something better might be found. I'll dig when I get some time for an acceptable reference. Best.4meter4 (talk) 02:19, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
