 * Dunno. Here's her very short resume at her home theater's page (Serbian National Theatre is a relatively big name). She did play the main role in Madame Butterfly, among other operas, yet I'm also struggling to find any information about her beyond what is written there. No such user (talk) 20:57, 26 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The subject's own resume is very clearly not a reliable source. Please familiarize with WP:GNG. — swpb T 15:55, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I am very familiar with GNG, thank you. You clearly fail to understand that it is not her own resume, but one published by her home theater. To prevent any further misunderstanding, I will clearly state that a) I'm a native speaker of Serbian and b) my own search for sources confirms your assertion that there's very little in reliable sources about her indeed (just multiple very short mentions about her roles), which is surprising for a singer of her rank. Hence my indecisiveness about the article, which I expressed using word "dunno", colloquial for "I don't know". Is there anything else I need to clarify? No such user (talk) 19:56, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
 * You are clearly not as familiar with GNG as you say, because a publication by the subject's employer is clearly not independent, and therefore counts for absolutely nothing. — swpb T 12:20, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Her employer happens to be Serbian National Theatre, the second-largest theater in a European country, est. 1861. Last time you claimed it is not a "reliable source", now you merely claim that it's not "independent". Which is it? Anyway, I'm not interested in continuing this pissing context.

 * Its lack of independence is what makes it an unreliable source for this subject. That's how this has always worked. — swpb T 19:19, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Weak keep: Seems to me we have enough independent coverage to meet WP:BASIC, the article has been here since 2009, and while coverage is light, she is a national-level performer in her home country, and I am reluctant to delete where we have to rely on foreign-language sources in a nation not particularly noted for having everything online.

 * Keep per Montanabw. I updated the article with the refs I managed to dug out. Meets WP:BASIC, a string of major roles in important operas, with mostly short but persistent coverage throughout the career. No such user (talk) 12:59, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep per . Multiple roles in important operas. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 00:39, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
