Yet another obscure child prodigy article Orange Mike   &#x007C;   Talk  05:12, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep To the best of my knowledge, there is no Wikipedia policy that prohibits articles about child prodigies. There is also no policy prohibiting an article that one editor asserts is "obscure".  If we are to delete this article, which asserts notability, that decision must be based on solid policy, and this nomination fails that standard.Cullen328 (talk) 05:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * response - actually, if we are to keep this article, somebody must establish notability, not just assert it. Is every soloist notable? Of course not! Where is the evidence of notability, not just evidence that she's played one venue or another? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:17, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak keep / on the fence. I'm a deletionist by nature, but there do seem to be reliable sources here. Any soloist who has performed with that list of orchestras is likely to be notable, and the sources show seemingly significant coverage. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 16:06, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment Just Google "esther yoo violinist" and independent sources from orchestras and newspapers all over the world will tumble out~ Cullen328 (talk)
 * The fourth ref, http://www.philharmonia.co.uk/orchestra/artists/estheryoo/, lists that she played with all those orchestras. Her notability is a bit questionable as the other references are generally nonsense (or that she won a single contest; BLP1E). So, I'll wait around on this one for more comments, but I'm leaning, very slightly, to keep. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 16:23, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak deleteThough Google News archive shows a few results over the years. Does not quite seem to satisfy WP:BIO at this stage of her career. The ref from site of the orchestra where she is to perform does not seem like an "independent" site by Wikipedia standards. (Build up the soloist to promote ticket sales). The article is supposed to be a biography rather than a promotional press release, so it should include family information  from  and other sources. We should look for multiple independent and reliable sources with significant coverage, and not just a listing of someone's claimed performances or prizes.An article with just a directory listing or passing reference that she won second prize in some contest is not enough. Where are reviews from major papers of all those performances with major orchestras?  The Jean Sibelius Violin Competition,itself is very thinly covered by sources found at Google News Archive, with a reprint of their press release containing a brief directory listings of winners each time.
