Non-notable singer. Internet searches have yielded no significant coverage. The one source given in this article is a review where Petrella is not even the primary subject. 4meter4 (talk) 05:23, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete - The review of her performance indicates that she will likely become notable in the future. But the lack of coverage now is insufficient to establish notability.  Coming 3rd in a national music competition puts this in the "weak" range of delete.  If more sourcing can be found, then it could push this over the notability bar.  I was unable to find such sourcing in my search. -- Whpq (talk) 21:01, 4 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete - She may well become notable in the future (from the review, she appears to be very talented), but it's way too soon to tell, and way too soon for an encyclopedia article. She made her debut less than a year ago and with an extremely small start-up opera company that uses a student orchestra. The other company she apparently sings for (Ottawa Pocket Opera) puts on operas with piano accompaniment only and "emerging" singers. There is one article about her in a local Canadian newspaper, but that's it in terms coverage devoted to her. For a minimally notable opera singer, I'd be looking for at least one of the following (in lieu of multiple coverage): leading role (preferably multiple ones) with a major opera company or companies; two or more recordings with a notable classical music label; at least two appearances as a soloist with a major orchestra in a major venue; 1st place in a notable national singing competition or 1st/2nd place in a notable international competition. I'm afraid none of these are present yet.  Voceditenore (talk) 11:36, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
