The result of the debate was keep. —Korath (Talk) 10:21, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
De-speedied. 838 hits [1], the first hit is a good reference. No vote. Kappa 01:24, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- It originally came from someone who posted a couple of vanity articles and added himself to an existing article. Thought this was another vanity article, so I didn't Google it. Naughty Lucky! Tentative keep, but this really needs serious expansion. - Lucky 6.9 01:50, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, but with reservations. Article needs expansion. Megan1967 01:59, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. She doesn't have an allmusic.com article, but it does list credits for appearing on five albums. (Note that this doesn't mean she has five albums, but that she sang in some capacity, however small, on five albums by others.) I'm going to vote delete anyway because the article doesn't establish any notability and I'm not convinced there is any. Gamaliel 05:26, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Looking to allmusic.com for classical artists is completely silly - David Gerard 17:28, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Hardly silly at all, if you know anything about the site. The AMG had a site called allclassical.com which they have folded into allmusic.com and has extensive information about classical recordings. Gamaliel 06:15, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Looking to allmusic.com for classical artists is completely silly - David Gerard 17:28, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I believe Allmusic.com can be sometimes biased towards popular and english-spoken music: many notable classical singers do not have biographic articles (eg., Jochen Kowalski, Yvonne Naef, Claudio Desderi, Lorenzo Saccommani). Karen Novik is, of course, less notable than these. But singing Carmen's Micaela with the Illionis Opera [2], performing at the Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall [3] and participanting in an album of Marc Blitzen's songs [4] seems above the bar to me. She is also listed as a previous winner of the annual solo competition of the Oratorio Society of NY here [5] vlad_mv 16:30, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice. Keep, though article needs expansion. Chris 16:34, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep - David Gerard 17:28, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Meets Wikimusic Project guidelines and is notable within genre. Have expanded article to add some of the highlights of the career. Capitalistroadster 02:36, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Article has no false information. Mykola Petrenko 18:05, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
