Greetings Thank you for the advice on Camelia Voin page. I deleted the only sentence that might be interpreted as personal opinion. I appreciate you help. Professorgheorghe (talk) 16:18, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, it's not just the 'personal opinion'. Sometimes, when you have a personal affiliation with an artist, it's hard to be objective about whether the person meets the notability requirements for Wikipedia. "Notability" in the Wikipedia sense, is not the same thing as "accomplishment". A person can have accomplished a lot in their lives, but still not be notable enough for an encyclopedia article. Unless you provide more specific information with suitable references, I think the article has a very strong possibility of being taken to Articles for deletion for discussion, and eventual deletion. For example, The Met auditions etc. are mentioned, but did Ms. Voin win or place in the top 5 the National Finals? She's certainly not listed in the Met's PDF file listing all National Finalists.[1]. The Barry Alexander competition is so far not a notable competition. It's only run for one year and has very little coverage. Winners are selected solely via submitted recordings.[2] There were 5 first prize winners listed in the professional category and 5 second prize winners [3] but no indication of how many actually competed overall. In general, singers who are still on the 'competition circuit' aren't ready for a Wikipedia article.

Some leading roles in operas are mentioned, but not the opera companies themselves or any references (independent of the subject) given. In the absence of anything but local coverage, and coverage in university news letters, at least one major role needs to have been sung with a notable, fully professional, opera company. Likewise, a soloist in an oratorio performance requires one with a major conductor or orchestra. The soloist performances in Horst Gehann's Bach Project might help towards establishing notability. But the needs some kind of verification that this is actually the case, verification which is independent of Ms. Voin, for example press reviews or articles from Germany or at least official performance listings.

I'm going to list some past deletion discussions for classical singers and musicians which will give you an idea of what's required. These passed: [4], [5]. And these did not pass: [6], [7], [8], [9]. At this point my own feeling is may it too soon for an article on Ms. Voin, but would be happy to be proved wrong. All the best, Voceditenore (talk) 07:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Camelia Voin

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Camelia Voin, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Non notable. Voin is still a student. She is obviously talented and may well become notable in the future, but she is not yet notable as defined by WP as of February 09. Good luck to her in the future!

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
