Vanity biography of a non-notable individual. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 12:07, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I beleive that Marina Devyatova is a well-known singer, and familiar to all russian speaking people. If you check the sources here https://www.google.nl/search?q=%22Marina+Devyatova%22&tbm=nws&gws_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=oKCWWvHNBcb9UoeVnrAI, you will be able to see a big number of articles about this singer, even in the biggest russian newspapers. Maybe you should include a Russian speaking editor in this discussion to realize how notable this person is. I would also like to know what is the notability criteria on which you have assumed that this person is not notable? (you can see that she has wikipedia page in 10 other languages). In the article, I included even her imdb page, but I don't know if you consider that imdb is not enough for notability? Anass Sedrati (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Indeed, I now see that there are articles on her in 10 other language Wikipedias. However, the imdb page, which I did look at, mentions nothing notable about her. Why don't you add some further material with reliable sources to show that she is indeed a notable individual? Being a finalist in a talent show is not enough in itself.

 * I don't know how you judge the notability for a singer? That she has a given number of views on Youtube? All I am saying is that she is famous in Russian speaking world and has already pages (and Russian speaking Media) that talk about her as an artist. This is a video of her singing in Youtube with 6 million views (and you can find many others) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrdGQPtlteM. I don't know if you will still consider that she is lacking notability even after this? Regards. Anass Sedrati (talk) 14:09, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I am quite prepared to withdraw this nomination, but please do add some more information to the article. All it states at the moment is that she is a "Russian singer and interpret of traditional songs." Cwmhiraeth (talk) 14:15, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your collaboration (and preparation to withdraw the deletion nomination) and for confirming the the problem was not notability. I will add some more information, but since you have confirmed that the issue was not notability (it was the reason you stated in your first message), then please go ahead with the withdrawal, and thank you again.
