non-notable opera singer with no reliable sources backing this up. 3^0$0%0 1@!k (0#1®!%$ 22:32, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. Obviously the nominator has not thought this through well or done any research on this subject. First, the artist is the winner of several notable music competitions, thereby satisfying the notability requirements at WP:Music. Second, a quick internet search shows she has sung on several recordings made on the Supraphon, Deutsche Grammophon, Phillips International Records, and other labels, further satisfying WP:Music. I also added a reliable source to the article which was previously unreferenced. The article is a stub and needs expansion, not deletion. Singingdaisies (talk) 22:44, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep per above. Clearly notable. Some references in English would be helpful.--JohnnyB256 (talk) 23:17, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. Mezzo-soprano notable for numerous recordings of Czech operas who has also appeared at the Bayreuth Festival. Nominator appears to be too ready to put up articles for deletion without proper checking - see this diff. --GuillaumeTell 23:55, 20 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. Anyone who sang Erda at Bayreuth during the festivals golden age and therefore appears on one of the most respected recordings of the Ring as well as in the role of Jezibaba in a well known recording of Rusalka has to be a notable opera singer.--Peter cohen (talk) 00:19, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. This is a STUB: Ya gotta start somewhere......! Be patient, wait a bit, and see it improve! Viva-Verdi (talk) 02:06, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep per WP:SNOW — disruptive nomination; see User talk:Evosoho and Special:Contributions/Evosoho. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 04:21, 21 September 2009 (UTC)


 * Speedy Keep. In addition to the many excellent points made above, the deletion nomination was made only two minutes after the article was created, nowhere near enough time for the nominator to establish a reliable opinion on the supposed non-notability for a performer of this nature.
