Does not appear to meet wp:music. Also, may not pass blp requirements for a reference since all references in this article are questionable. It doesn't look like any of the references pass WP:RS. Dusty |&#x1f4ac;|You can help! 12:52, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment She and the Jascha Heifetz Society could be mentioned in Jascha Heifetz. BLP presumably doesn't apply since she's apparently dead. But while there are sources mentioning her there's arguably not enough to establish notability (I don't think violinist.com counts as a reliable source, since it seems to be a one-person operation). --Colapeninsula (talk) 15:39, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Did the nominator look for any other references? I found with very little effort:
 * Violin Community News 2011 notice of her death
 * LA Times article about her & the society she founded for Heifetz;
 * Eugene Register-Guard / short article with description of her as "a well known violinist in the Northeast" ... soloist with Portland Symphony Orchestra, etc.
 * So without being an expert in the field or doing any research in relevant classical music coverage, I would give her a provisional pass. --Lquilter (talk) 15:45, 22 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Comment. The article creator,, deleted the AfD tags from the article. I restored them and left a warning. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:23, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Yes, the nominator did a search and found most of the sources you listed. I did not see the LA Times article but, having read it, agree with Colapeninsula who suggested mentioning in the Jascha Heifetz as that is whom the LA Times article was really about. My first instinct was to disregard the other hits as not passing WP:RS but I do not have expert knowledge in the field of violinists and am relying on the AfD process to create a fully informed discussion. I also question the article creator's neutrality as this editor not only removed the AfD tags from the article but also nominated another article for deletion. This is the only other article besides the Hodgkins article that Lvwarren‎‎ has edited and the edit consisted solely of nominating Friedrich von Wieser‎ for deletion in an apparent tit-for-tat as the Wieser article is my Top Edited Page.

 * Weak Delete, subject does not appear to have multiple non-primary reliable source significant coverage, sure there is the LA Times article but that is but one article. If she was notable, there would be multiple reliable sources similar to the LA Times article. Therefore the subject could be argued not to pass WP:ANYBIO, futhermore I am not finding any reliable sources that indicate the subject meets the requirements set forth in WP:MUSICBIO. Also, WP:NOTMEMORIAL applies.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 21:51, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete per RCLC. Furthermore, the LA Times article discusses her in the context of promoting her teacher, so arguably it's an article giving evidence for notability about her teacher, not her. Other coverage seems to be mostly trivial. Ray  Talk 00:38, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
