Mythili Kumar[edit]

Not sure this meets the general notability guideline for biographies. No sources, only one mainspace page linking in (a list), couldn't really find anything reliable, substantial, or notability-indicating online at a cursory glance. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 10:16, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. A Google News search appears to indicate likely notability, but I don't have time to go through the potential sources at the moment. Phil Bridger (talk) 17:15, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I went through Phil's search results and picked out a few that were more about her and less about the performances of her troupe. There seems to be plenty of coverage of both. So I think she passes WP:BIO based on the sources I listed as references in her article (primarily from the SJ Merc), but I think she also passes WP:CREATIVE based on the "multiple independent periodical articles or reviews" (also in SF Chron, LA Times) of her dance pieces. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:21, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Passes WP:N and WP:ENT. SJ Merc '98, SJ Merc '91, LA Times '95, SJ Merc '90, SF Chronicle '97, The Hindu '04. There are a lot more, but this is sufficient to establish notability. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 00:11, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Per David Eppstein and Spaceman7Spiff. Meets WP:BIO.--Eric Yurken (talk) 02:18, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Would not pass high standard of W:Prof. May pass other WP:N. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:07, 23 June 2009 (UTC).[reply]
- I don't think WP:PROF is relevant. She's a dance teacher, not an academic. —David Eppstein (talk) 11:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
