 * Keep. She has many awards, dozens of disk. If you check the other languages articles you can see that she's very famous not only in Russia. Dr.KBAHT (talk) 00:39, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. Clearly notable https://akulich.org/vika-tsiganova-ya-vernus/ https://moskvichmag.ru/lyudi/eto-moj-gorod-pevitsa-vika-tsyganova/ https://teleprogramma.pro/stars/1924682-esli-chto-to-ne-tak-vy-prostite-menya-57-letnyaya-cyganova-v-bikini-pokazala-u3419/ Newspapers even refer to her by surname alone.

 * For what it's worth, these sources are tabloid-level articles (and interviews) in publications of dubious repute. In fact, the first reference is a blog. If mentions in similar publications were enough to be considered a pass of notability then every other self-described pop star to exist in the former Soviet space would qualify for an article on Wikipedia. nearlyevil  665  13:55, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
 * She is a singer. Her songs were placed in rotation nationally by a major radio network (Shanson radio). So she is qualify for an article on Wikipedia. See WP:NSINGER. Simple. GorgonaJS (talk) 21:37, 26 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep. Firstly, that deletion nomination is just a WP:VAGUEWAVE, it doesn't consist of an actual position. In the following, I give most of the citations I have, the rest I pulled from the WP article in Russian because I simply cannot track down Russian-language RS. I also don't know how to check Russian national charts so I've just not tried with that. WP:NSINGER criteria 1: She has been in a few reasonably reputable sources written in English - The Moscow Times, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty , TASS . Also some from pop culture sources - less reliable, but volume of articles is still relevant. Criteria 6: She was in the Chamber Jewish Musical Theatre which is notable in its own right due to its place in Russian Jewish history, as well as having had notable members (e.g. Yuri Sherling and Yakov Yavno, who were both recognised as People's Artist of the RSFSR). Criteria 8: she had songs in Pesnya goda in 1997, 1998, 1999 (the equivalent of 2 award nominations). The source isn't great but I struggled to find any list of the nominees and winners from every year. Criteria 11: As described by Gorgona JS, she was on rotation with Shanson radio. Non-singer notability: She's received a couple of national award/medal/title (not sure what to call it - like Order of Australia, those kind of things). She was a candidate in a political election for United Russia (the ruling party) . She had a clothing collection in a significant fashion week. Summary: she meets multiple criteria of notability, even with me having the constraints of not knowing Russian. --Xurizuri (talk) 02:48, 28 August 2021 (UTC)
