Unfortunately, I can't find the evidence necessary for this article, imo, to pass WP:N or WP:MUSIC. Allventon (talk) 23:11, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree with the above. 7triton7 (talk) 05:38, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. First the wikilawyering bit: two albums on a well established label get her through WP:MUSICBIO criterion 5. The common sense argument is that any soloist for a national opera house is the kind of subject that an encyclopedia should cover. Google News gets some hits that confirm that she is a soloist and has toured internationally with the company, and here is a profile of her. Phil Bridger (talk) 11:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - soloist for a national opera is somebody one would expect to meet notability. The main issue here seems to be that the sources aren't in English which makes it hard for me to evaluate, but the Google search results seem to indicate that sourcing would be possible. -- Whpq (talk) 16:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable. As for evidence, she has an English language home page, which I added, and wikified a bit. It seems to be reliable enough for the Ottawa Classical Choir. --GRuban (talk) 20:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. While agreeing with your conclusion, I must say that I find the implication that being involved with the Ottawa Classical Choir imparts more notability than being with the Sofia National Opera rather bizarre. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh. I'm referring to the the reliability of her web page to be used as a reference, not her notability! :-) Let me expand that a bit - the site mostly refers to her in the third person, so it may not immediately obvious that this is, in fact, her site, and not just of some fan, except that the choir that she sings with links to it to describe her. --GRuban (talk) 20:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
