Lya Stern

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

This article is mainly a resume. Most of the sources in the article consist of dead links from websites that are related to Lya Stern; the rest of the sources either have brief mentions of her or don't mention her at all. After doing a Google search to see if there were sources that could be added to the article, the only significant coverage I found of her was from a website that listed Wikipedia as a source. The rest of the information I found was from her YouTube channel and mentions of her from her students. As a result, she doesn't met WP:GNG or WP:NBLP.

 * Comment One source via Newspapers.com goes into some depth. Hameltion (talk &#124; contribs) 03:55, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Delete (Weak) - There is a big gap in WP on instrumental performers who have created the American musical/movie music scene, and in general the encyclopedia is too quick to delete (especially for women and minority performers), but here I think the AfD is correct. The Baltimore Sun article gives a bit of notability, but the other sources do not.  A blurb on the back of one's teacher's independently published book is not enough.  There needs to be more and I could not find anything that led to more than what a local performing teacher would have.  Glad to be proven wrong.  -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 08:13, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Keep as there is a staff written bio at AllMusic here and an album review here to go with the detailed Baltimore Sun article linked earlier by Hameltion. Haven't done a full search yet, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:31, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 * What does Eudice Shapiro have to do with the subject of this article? That Tired Tarantula   Burrow  23:32, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Just agreeing with That Tired Tarantula above -- @Atlantic306 you have linked to reviews for a different musician. If Lya Stern had an Allmusic staff bio, that would be relevant, but I could not find one.  -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 01:37, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, have struck my vote and comment. In my defence the erroneous AllMusic bio is the first reference in the article but I should have noticed, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:11, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
