Korolenko
Pseudonym of Pavel Lion. With 42 hits, that man fails the professor test for notability. Radiant! 13:56, Feb 18, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Are you going by google hits in English for a Russian professor's notability? Anyway he passes the music test by releasing several albums and being an international perfomer, perfoming in Paris, Berlin and Trinity College  Kappa 15:26, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Needs expansion and categorization. Seems to be more notable as singer, at least in terms relevant to a Google search. Has released several CDs. His pseudonym or stage name gets 13,500 hits in Cyrillic. / u p p l a n d 15:53, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh, him. I've heard of him. Keep.DS 20:57, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * move the page to a proper title. Korolenko must be a dab against this guy and famous (was, in USSR) russian writer Vladimir Korolenko (I will write a stub tonight). Mikkalai 21:30, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, just under the bar of notability. Megan1967 23:17, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * A person who released 4+ CDs is well above the bar of notability, see WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines. Mikkalai 00:26, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. --Sn0wflake 03:35, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I have beaten Mikkalai to the punch by writng an article on Vladimir Korolenko the famous Russian author of the late 19th century. He also has articles in Britannica, Columbia and Encarta as an indication of his notability. As to his namesake, someone who records four albums and has toured internationally seems to qualify under the Wikimusic project guidelines. Capitalistroadster 04:47, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain Delete, Vladimir Korolenko is notable, this guy I've never heard of. Grue 12:16, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * "Never heard" is not a valid reason for deletion. Ever heard about thing called "google"? Mikkalai 01:18, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, and "Psoy Korolenko" returns 497 hits. "Timofei Shatrov" returns 601 hits. I don't consider myself notable. This guy is even less notable. Grue 05:59, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Maybe you can tell if there is anything wrong with the 13,500 hits I got above. I don't read Russian, but the pages I looked at all appeared to be about this person. / u p p l a n d 06:41, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Well, I concede my point. All of these hits are spot on. Grue 07:51, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)
