He is generally known much better in the Ukrainian ethnic community. Goodle gives 2,020 (0.23 сек.) in english sources  http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Peter+Deriashnyj&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8  and 2,920 (0.26 сек.) for the Cyrrillic version of his name Петро Деряжний. Keep also in mind that Deriashnyj is a transliteration of his surname via German, Often in articles they use other transliterations such as Deriazhny Bandurist (talk) 22:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. Cyryllic search yields http://www.google.com/search?num=100&hl=uk&client=safari&rls=en&q=%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE+%D0%B4%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%8F%D0%B6%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= .--Galassi (talk) 23:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:GOOGLEHITS is an invalid argument. LibStar (talk) 02:23, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh really! Well your argument about "lack of gnews" is equally invalid. --Pkravchenko (talk) 13:18, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
 * no, WP:GOOGLEHITS does not apply to gnews. LibStar (talk) 00:49, 22 March 2011 (UTC)

Strong Keep: The article would benefit from serious editing, but wiki etiquette and policy (WP:BEFORE) says that a tag should have been placed, instead of a deletion notice. Before targeting Ukrainian-related articles for deletion, User:LibStar, should ideally first learn a bit of Ukrainian. This would help him immensely in doing his internet searches. Using just the internet, Peter Deriashnyj is notable enough to be:

 * Keep – article needs serious trimming and more sources, but subject meets WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 14:09, 20 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep Good work Pkravchenko. With articles like this you can't usually find anything unless someone knows the language.  They really should be required to contact someone who knows the language in the proper Wikiproject before trying to delete an article.   D r e a m Focus  21:11, 20 March 2011 (UTC)
