This person fails to meet wikipedia's notability requirements. Extensive searches for references varifying the contents of this article have yielded nothing. The article was created by the subject's son (a user now blocked from editing the encyclopedia) and therefore COI does play a factor here. Nrswanson (talk) 21:34, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as unverifiable. Looie496 (talk) 00:26, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete The article should rely on reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy. The article is clearly not notable upon verification.--Ped Admi (talk) 01:17, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete I too have searched extensively and found nothing. Her main career appears to have been as a répétiteur (vocal coach) and accompanist for opera rehearsals. As such she would only be notable if someone has actually written about her in that respect. The author of the article claims that she was an accompanist for various recordings, but again, it's unclear whether this meant coaching and rehearsing the singers for the recordings or actually performing on them. I can find no evidence of recordings where she is credited. The author has been repeatedly asked for at least the dates and places of any of her public performances, broadcasts etc. but has failed to supply them. A brief section about her could be added to the article on her husband, Stefan Dimitrov, who is notable. But given the complete lack of evidence for her independent notability, this should be deleted. Voceditenore (talk) 09:27, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
