 * Keep, do not delete. The performer is internationally known and meets WP:NOTE.  Sure the article can be improved with additional sourcing but deletion is not at improvement over the status quo ex ante. XavierItzm (talk) 17:31, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

I wish you wouldn't delete this article, I was very happy to find that there was a wikipedia page on this violinist. It's very helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.173.105.250 (talk) 13:12, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:ANYBIO, because she has "received a well-known and significant award or honor," including the ARD International Music Competition (3rd prize, 2017) and the ARAM noted above, and per WP:NMUSICOTHER, because she is "frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable music sub-culture," including The Strad, The Violin Channel, and Classic FM.

 * Keep as passes WP:NMUSIC with multiple reliable sources coverage and winning a notable music award, so deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 02:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
