Mikuláš Petrašovský

I'm decidedly unconvinced that this person/group is actually significant in any way. While there's a decent number of references listed, they all seem to be mass listings with Petrašovský mentioned only in passing (although I'll freely admit my knowledge of Eastern European languages is non-existent). As such, delete --Pak21 08:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC) ( Geographic nit: Slovakia is located in Central Europe, Eastern Europe is Ukraine and Russia. Pavel Vozenilek 22:52, 12 April 2007 (UTC) )
 * Comment WP:VERIFIABILITY says that: Because this is the English Wikipedia, for the convenience of our readers, English-language sources should be used in preference to foreign-language sources, assuming equal quality, so that readers can easily verify that the source material has been used correctly. Basically, this article does not adhere to this policy. I'm not sure wether that qualifies it for deletion or not. Perhaps some sources could be produced in English so that we could better understand where the information is coming from. -- Cy ru s      An dir on   14:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment Yes assume good faith and by doing so we have multiple sources that look at least more professional than an AOL homepage. But this is substantially written by a single purpose user with the only other contributions from unidentified users.  Seems a bit spammy to me.  But are we setting as major precedent here and where is th risk?  --Kevin Murray 22:06, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete (from someone who can read Slovak texts). The duo does exist, they specialize on Ruthenian folk music in Slovakia, they published a CD, obtained an award at a minor music festival in 1996 (not mentioned in the article, could be the only possible criterion for inclusion on WP ) but: (1) All external links (except the one about the festival) are very NN newspaper articles announcing the group in one sentence. There's no biography, no overview of the work, nothing about their history. (2) The festival is of relatively minor importance (AFAICS) and gives several prizes (in 1996 it awarded 4 out of 41 performers). It has no article even on Slovak Wiki. (3) The text here is not well written. (The text on Slovak Wiki is somewhat better and it survived their VfD in Dec 2006.)
 * IMO it would be better to delete it for now and wait until something better and more complete appears on Slovak Wiki and then to translate it here. Pavel Vozenilek 22:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete. I have to defer to Pavel Vozenilek here. Herostratus 02:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. What's notable on one Wiki should be notable on another- we shouldn't take too Anglo-centric an approach. I'm tempted to defer to the fact that Slovak Wiki 's VfD reached a keep consensus. Tag for cleanup. WjBscribe 17:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
