Unsourced biography of a living person. Notability per WP:NMG seems questionable. bender235 (talk) 18:18, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article's a mess but could be cleaned up. It looks like he probably is a notable performer having made appearances worldwide, but I know nothing of the subject and I'm having some trouble establishing more than just listings of those performances as I don't speak Russian or Italian. There is an article in the Corriere della Sera newspaper here which demonstrates some notability. This is an article which I think is salvagable, if someone with the relevant expertise were to come along and do it; I have reached my limit. RichardOSmith (talk) 21:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete – As it stands, the article is a borderline copyright violation of this page. The article, as WP:BLP is woefully under sourced: it has a single link to the subject's own homepage. I really can't see how this article meets the notability criteria set down in WP:MUSICBIO. The subject is obviously very talented and has travelled to many countries, but that doesn't mean there should be an article. Academics are equally as well skilled and well travelled, but they have to meet WP:PROF. The point is: his he a cut above all the others in his profession? I can't see how he is. Sorry. — Fly by Night (talk) 15:16, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
