Notability
[edit]This person does not seem notable, and makes no claim of notability in the article. However, many of the Google search results are in Armenian. Does anyone want to weigh in on this topic who is familiar with Armenian music or who reads Armenian?--Esprit15d • talk • contribs 12:50, 27 April 2017 (UTC)
- This isn't an RfC (a request for the community to try to come to consensus on something that has eluded consensus in prior discussion). It's a routine request for research assistance. Ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Armenia and Wikipedia talk:Translation, I would say. I'm removing the RfC tag. If you are convinced the subject isn't notable, use WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Given lack of an assertion of notability, you could try WP:CSD, but I doubt it would stick, and that the reviewing admin would send it to AfD, since several sources are given, and so is a list of recorded works. I'm skeptical the subject is notable myself ("was ever recorded on vinyl" does not equate to notability, or we'd have tens of thousands of articles on random orchestra players and studio session musicians), but AfD will be better able to determine this. — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼ 03:46, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- While I agree that this is not ideally handled by RfC, I'm not sure that we need to jump to AfD immediately. Afterall, an WP:AfD filing requires that some preliminary steps be conducted first. RfC may not have been the ideal choice here, but I compliment the OP, as a newer user, for their opting to recruit community attention and help to examine the issue before going to AfD with the matter. The project page and wikiproject you linked to are good places to look for further help, but in the meantime, I'll dig into the Armenian sourcing; I've worked a small amount with the language before. One thing that definitely needs immediate attention is that the citations that already exist need to converted to English; I'll attend to that too. Without going into detail here, I can tell you that they are all combinations of incomplete or not in proper format, graphemics aside. Snow let's rap 05:02, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
- FYI, this appears to been transwikied from an older version of this man's entry on the Armenian Wikipedia. I would guess that it got added to one of the Requests for Translation backlogs and then some industrious editor with limited en.Wikipedia experience made an attempt at it but then realized some of the sources were not in a language they were familiar with, so they just fudged those details, not knowing that this article was being left with insufficient sourcing rationale under this Wikipedia's standards, as a result.
