The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. It was borderline for me, but more familiar users have made good points. (non-admin closure) Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 15:41, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Close to, but does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN. Won only age division in minor contests, and unsourced claim of one CD on a label, which doesn't satisfy notability requirements. Artist website and label press release not reliable sources. Etzedek24 ^{(I'll talk at ya) (Check my track record)} 21:45, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

In my eyes, according to the rules outlined in Wikipedia:Notability (music), Wildschut is notable in two ways:

She won the Louis Spohr competition. This is an international competition, which in itself makes it a pretty major event for violinists.
She appeared on national television several times. NTR Podium did a documentary called Noa11 about her in 2012. The entire thing is about 30 minutes and already linked as a source (13:13 to 43:20). 6 years later they did another 70 minute documentary called "A Family Quartet" featuring Wildschut. Because of this documentary she appeared in the popular talkshow De Wereld Draait Door (recording) for about 13 minutes. The "Avond van de filmmuziek" concert, where she was the solist for Shindlers List has been broadcasted in its entirety on Nederland 1.

Keep - I'd argue she does meet WP:MUSICBIO criteria 9. Yes, her win was in an age category not outright, but the competition is only for young violinists, and has only three categories, so I'm not sure that reduces the significance of the achievement. Is the competition 'major'? Hard to say, but it has been around for over 20 years and awards fairly substantial prize money, so I'm inclined to give it the benefit of the doubt. On top of that, there is no shortage of mentions in news sources although a Dutch speaker could probably give more guidance on how reliable the sources are and how in-depth the coverage is. Overall it's a keep for me though. Hugsyrup (talk) 14:43, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
