Vlada Borovko

I prodded the article with the following rationale: "No indication of notability; sources are a bio from a creative agency, some other non-independent sources and a passing mention. Nothing better found via Google News." Philafrenzy de-prodded it and added another few passing mentions, performance reviews that devote maybe a single sentence to Borovko without covering her in any detail. Bringing it here for a community discussion. I don't think these additional references, or any further ones of the same kind that can be found, are helpful for establishing notability.

 * Keep Borovko has sung Violetta in Traviata at Covent Garden, a lead role at one of the world's top houses. There is plenty of coverage of her work, but not all of it is English, such as the Oper Koln profile. And what about the full-length Royal Opera House interview? There is enough about her to meet WP:GNG. Edwardx (talk) 12:57, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Lead role at Covent Garden is enough for me. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 13:21, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep lead role at Covent Garden is enough to pass GNG. Joseph2302 (talk) 13:31, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - can someone, maybe Joseph2302, please point out where WP:GNG says people are notable if they have sung a lead role at Covent Garden? The last time I checked, it spoke of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", exactly the thing this article lacks (her getting interviewed by an organization employing her is not "independent of the subject"). Huon (talk) 20:56, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:NACTOR might be a more appropriate policy to cite, "Has had significant roles in multiple notable films, television shows, stage performances, or other productions." The article notes Borovko's significant roles in Traviata, Norma and Oreste. Opera singers are actors too. Edwardx (talk) 11:36, 4 January 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep. I cannot point to the policy asked for, but being called show stopping by The Guardian is good enough for me. Xxanthippe (talk) 11:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC).
 * Keep numerous independent RS in Russian, several of which I have added. SusunW (talk) 16:52, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Many other British newspapers have covered her performances in some detail. Not everything shows up on Google searches.--Ipigott (talk) 17:24, 4 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep: Although Huon has a valid point; simply having sung a lead role in one single instance sounds almost like WP:BLP1E (which is what the lede/article sounds like right now); although I think there are many sources that will establish her notability. Perhaps we could clarify the lede to something like "she came to spotlight" with that performance, and will play another lead role of Musetta in the upcoming production of La bohème at the Royal Opera House?
