I couldn't establish that he meets WP:MUSICBIO or WP:GNG. He doesn't have a Russian language article, although there is a German language article. Successful, but not notable. Tagged for notability for seven years. Pinging those who have looked at its notability before: The Haunted Angel, Brewcrewer, Kvng.

Delete - the only album he ever released was a set of Bach Cello suites. It seems to have been on a minor label (not Deutsche Grammophon, Sony, EMI, Decca or the like, or even Naxos). The Wikipedia article mentions a book by the name of "Russian Cellists: Alexander Ivashkin, Sergey Antonov, Leonid Gorokhov, Misha Quint, Victor Yoran" in its bibliography. I tried to track down this book, but according to Google Books, it is just a copy of Wikipedia material: http://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Russian_Cellists.html?id=zdeOSQAACAAJ&redir_esc=y. I do not doubt that he was a cellist of some repute - he played at the Carnegie Recital Hall: https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TzRCUGkvrmgC&pg=PA32&lpg=PA32&dq=%22victor+yoran%22+cellist&source=bl&ots=jsZXb6GKOn&sig=ALb-eTsrRgUUz33RifTmArDGjOc&hl=en&sa=X&ei=gSIdVZeVJePYmAXrq4G4BA&ved=0CEUQ6AEwCTgU#v=onepage&q=%22victor%20yoran%22%20cellist&f=false. However, overall, I do not think that he meets the "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" that are listed at Wikipedia:Notability (music). For example, he has not "been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works" or "released two or more albums on a major record label". Syek88 (talk) 11:11, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Comment-Neutral on this-he has a German article and seems somewhat notable but on the other hand.... Wgolf (talk) 18:37, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Note to closer Can I ask that as this has been tagged for notability for 7 years, that it is relisted again (if no clear consensus has emerged) rather than close as no consensus based mainly on poor participation? Boleyn (talk) 06:58, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as it fails all criteria of WP:MUSICBIO as far as I can tell. Tigraan (talk) 12:23, 14 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
