Crazy Day or The Marriage of Figaro

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable musical. Cites no sources and makes no claims to notability; fails WP:RS and WP:N. Article also serves largely as a WP:COATRACK for Sofia Rotaru. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 17:33, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: the article claims that the play was staged and aired by "Russian television" - does anyone know if this is referring to the Russian Television and Radio Broadcasting Network? If it is, the fact that it was produced by a notable network, combined with its notable star, could indicate that enough sources to meet WP:N are likely to exist.--Unscented (talk) 17:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have added references and specified the producers: NTV and Inter--Rubikonchik (talk) 14:39, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * A Google search for Crazy Day or The Marriage of Figaro gives nothing on the Russian production. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 10:02, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep: there are enough sources, and I just cannot understand why did User:HelloAnnyong nominate the article for the deletion, as he is asked to be a third neutral party... Go figure... As of now I personally have no time to look for sources for this article namely. I'll leave a post with the Russia Project on wiki.--Rubikonchik (talk) 22:14, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are currently no reliable sources on the article, and like I said, it seems like the article was created solely to mention that Sofia Rotaru was in it, which seems to make it a WP:COATRACK. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 22:36, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There are currently five reliable sources. The film was produced by Russian and Ukrainian television channels NTV and Inter - most notable networks with most notable stars, directed by Semen Gorov - one of the most appraised Ukrainian clip makers in Eastern Europe.--Rubikonchik (talk) 08:01, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete: WP:COATRACK, two WP:RS, no non-trivial coverage. --Jaan Pärn (talk) 09:56, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Music-related deletion discussions.  -- TexasAndroid (talk) 12:11, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Tentative Keep - Don't see a WP:COATRACK, since Sofia Rotaru is only mentioned in the cast list. Significant coverage in two independent, reliable sources meets the requirements of WP:N.  I don't read the language of the sources, but will WP:AGF that the coverage in them is significant, unless someone who understands the language can summarize the coverage and demonstrate that it is trivial. Rlendog (talk) 20:42, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - the article is now supported by what appear to be reliable sources, and any WP:COATRACK issues have been cleared up in the substantial improvements made to the articles since its nomination. The lack of sources generated by the Google search can most likely be explained by the fact that the relevant sources for this production are presumably all in Russian.--Unscented (talk) 21:23, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
