Deletion of Dmitri Novgorodsky

Comment: Okay, I'm sure the horse is getting pretty tired from being beaten so much, but here goes... The only aspect of this |AFD that you need to be concerned about right now is the |notability of Dmitri Novgorodsky. I have not looked at any of the other musicians articles you have pointed out, and frankly I don't plan to. To my knowledge, those articles are not up for deletion review right now, so that makes them irrelevant to the current subject. You can talk all you want about prior precedent, but it ''does not apply'' here. Those articles have not passed an AFD either because no one has nominated them for deletion. Basically, no one has checked them to see if they are notable. The community has either not noticed the articles or believes them to be on par with Wikipedia's policies. However, if you don't think that the other articles on pianists meet the notability criteria, then nominate them for deletion and have them removed as well (via consensus). If you want to keep this article, then focus on proving his notability rather than disproving someone elses. Also, if you think Wikipedia is biased, you're probably right. That's the way it is. Fortunately, no one is forcing you to be here. The door is always open. And for the love of god, quit typing in caps. Nothing says "enraged little school girl" like typing in all caps when you're angry. And don't forget to sign all posts with tildes

Comment: I made some technical corrections to the formatting. Yes, WP, is in fact |prejudiced against non-tenured professors, of which I am a member of that class of persons. And yes, I am somewhat on an expert of Grieg's music in popular culture|modern classical music

Comment: Has been the subject of multiple nontrivial published sources which meets usic.  Many refs are trivial but many are not; namely  http://www.uwosh.edu/news_bureau/webnews/feb_02.html, http://www.foxvalleysymphony.com/season_calendar/event_c26b88b9ba93/, http://www.newbritainherald.com/site/index.cfm?newsid=1809448&BRD=1641&PAG=461&dept_id=594835&rfi=8.  Has won or placed in a major music competition.  Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio or TV network

Comment: You have never heard of the subject, and now you and other Wikipedians will.  The article satisfies more than one  criterion and you can't have it deleted just "because you've never heard of the subject". The purpose of an encyclopedia is to make you acquainted with subjects, what's the point if you know about them already?. I promise you that classical professionals, not fans, know the subject. But this is not the point of argument about deletion either. Failing to meet |Heymann standard for rescuing articles nominated for deletion doesn't necessarily qualify an article for deletion. '''''By the way, the article has another added source at the reference section, from the New Britain Herald. It is a reliable source which asserts the subject's winning of major prizes at music competitions'''''. '''In short, the article amply establishes and verifies notability of its subject. Also, the article doesn't mention whether Dmitri Novgorodsky is tenured or not. Do Wikipedians have prejudices toward non-tenured professors who also happen to be outstanding performing musicians and therefore delete articles about them

Comment: I cant find evidence that this person meets either the |notability criteria for musicians or the |notability criteria for academics

Comment: as article fails to demonstrate notability per  guidlines; I need to see evidence of recodings, reviews, concerts before I would consider otherwise. However, this guy could be notable in Russia, and where his notability may be covered by a wide range of Russian sourcs; in which case, I am sure his article in Russian Wikipedia will be sufficient for the time being
