Minzija Biktimer

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Was draftified with the hope that the article creator would improve on the sources, but was moved back without improvement. Searches, done in the English version of her name, as well as using Минзиә Биктимер, turned up zero in-depth sourcing. Fails WP:GNG.  Onel 5969  TT me 12:30, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment it looks like notability would rest on the weight we give to her being awarded the honorary title of Honored Artist of the Bashkir Republic. On it’s own I’m not sure that would be sufficient, but I’m not seeing any other claim of notability (even unsourced). I can see why she would be important enough for an article on Bashkir wiki, but that doesn’t seem to translate well into en.wiki notability. Mccapra (talk) 15:03, 9 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Soft Delete This is an award from a major Russian republic. However, article does need better sources. Rogermx (talk) 15:11, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment I personally feel like a state/republic award points toward notability (per WP:ANYBIO 1). There's the one source about her life/death included in the article already, which is substantial, but I haven't been able to find much else. Seeing as the award was granted in 1989, and she was active as a dancer in the 1980s, I'm not surprised it's hard to find sources online; I would suspect there was (at the time) current coverage of an artist getting such an award that would be hard to find on the internet now. - Whisperjanes (talk) 03:50, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * , I thought that as well, before nominating. However, WP:MUSTBESOURCES should apply.  Onel 5969  TT me 13:06, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete The Bashkir article outlines her life and career which indicates that she never danced for the Bolshoi, the Kirov or other major troupes, apparently didn’t tour internationally or do anything else that would clearly make her notable. She danced in the Bashkir ASSR and then went into arts management so her career seems pretty ROTM. Again I can see why Bashkir Wikipedia has an article about her but I’m not seeing anything except that award that would make her notable in en.wiki terms. The Bashkir ASSR was not a Union Republic of the USSR so its awards weren’t like the Lenin Prize or People’s Artist of the Azerbaijan SSR. They were more like “honoured Artist of Aberdeenshire” or “Honoured Artist of Long Island”. Mccapra (talk) 04:39, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete: As a BLP related (recently passed) the sourcing criteria on this encyclopedia is higher than one source and so is the notability criteria. A dictionary entry of less than a pseudo biography is not acceptable. -- Otr500 (talk) 13:53, 24 June 2021 (UTC)
