Gennady Tkachenko-Papizh

Singer who does not appear to satisfy musical notability or general notability. There are two references. The first one is paywalled, but is assumed to be independent and secondary. The second one is a puff piece that cannot qualify as secondary coverage and probably is not independent. So there is only one valid reference, and none of the musical criteria are satisfied.


 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, India,  and United Kingdom. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:35, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

 * He was in Georgia's Got Talent, I've read the NYT piece and it is significant content directly about him, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:56, 21 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: clearly a puff piece without notability. George Custer&#39;s Sabre (talk) 06:46, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: There are many reliable sources that can be found to support this article (many of which are not in English); "Notability is based on the existence of suitable sources, not on the state of sourcing in an article." Since AFD calls for deletion which speaks in the negative - edits need to be made with bias towards preservation.  This very point is outlined and made in AFD documentation.   I do not think it is productive to flag articles for deletion as soon as they are written as this creates a massive disincentive to add content.  Flibbertigibbets (talk) 12:37, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Weak keep. I found another sourced and added it, and I expanded the article based on existing sources. I found the New York Times coverage to be significant coverage and a reliable source, and combined with the other source I added, I think that refutes the initial justification to delete.

 * A paraphrase describing his music from the NYT was found the original draft was deleted in tandem with the speedy delete and follow on AFD which significantly weakened the article. The main point of the article was removed in that he "performs "haunting" vocalizations which are ethereal, surreal, and organic. His impromptu vocalizations sometimes mimic natural sounds"  Flibbertigibbets (talk) 04:18, 28 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Have I understood correctly that you have not !voted either to keep or delete yet? CT55555  (talk) 19:03, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Still recommend deletion: clearly a puff piece without genuine and established notability. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 05:34, 28 January 2023 (UTC)Ambox warning pn.svg — Duplicate vote: BoyTheKingCanDance (talk • contribs) has already cast a vote above.
 * BoyTheKingCanDance, you voted twice, with almost the same comment, under two different usenames. What happened here? Liz Read! Talk! 07:13, 12 February 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep - although in its present state the article is admittedly not impressive, as said above there are acceptable foreign-language sources available - CT5555 has added one; I've added another; and there will be more, particularly in Romanian and Georgian, which I haven't searched - which IMO satisfy GNG.
