Andrei Ivanovitch

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Article does not assert or identify the subjects notability; nothing seems to distinguish him from any of hundreds (thousands?) of other classical pianists. AU Tiger » talk 14:06, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Keep. Article makes obvious claims of notability per prize wins but cites no WP:RS to back them up. A Google search shows that his records are definitely out there. Article is too promotional for my taste, but if Cincinnati or Montreal wins can be verified, he's definitely notable. • Gene93k 15:34, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What distinguishes him from other pianists is that he is a world class pianist who could play faster and more precise than the others. If you ever heard him play Liszts 'La Campanella', you would understand what I mean. --89.182.148.191 15:36, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * La Campanella he's playing really excellent - but you'll ever heared Pictures at an Exhibition played by him ? --D.O.A.BitH 13:07, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The article needs to WP:CITE independent published sources that say this. I do not doubt that he is great. He may pass the WP:MUSIC standard on his discography alone. The article needs work on sources and NPOV. • Gene93k 15:59, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I inserted now a few references, which should show you that Andrei Ivanovitch is not a beginner and also not a main-stream pianist. In addition I am convinced after like before that the mass of the work comes from the mass of the involved persons - that is WIKIPEDIA!!! Surely there are sources, which possess a still higher value, than from me used. I can see however for example no membership lists of the Chopin Society, without I am also member there. However, I spoke with him personally! And to my time still the word of a man applied. --D.O.A.BitH 16:19, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment. Change to vote above. With verifiable cite of Cincinnati gold medal win, notability is asserted, cited, and verified. Good enough, but article still needs work. • Gene93k 18:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
 * "but article still needs work" - shure, but for this I need very much time or a little bit of help from other peoples.
 * I prepared an interview with Andrei. At present he is too busy, as soon as the interview is present, relevant contents from it is published also here. Does not function naturally, if the article is deleted.

 * Your apparent closeness to the article subject contributed to my nomination; you need to be careful of the appearance of promoting Andrei, it could be seen as an autobiography by proxy. That being said, I am withdrawing the nom per Gene93k's opinion, although the article still needs cleaning up. AU Tiger » talk 17:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Withdraw nomination per sourced notability claims. AU Tiger » talk 17:04, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
