Deletion of Victoria Bezetti

Comment: The Großes Sängerlexikon is clearly an RS, and the extent of the coverage of her in it is clearly  as it describes the subject in detail (that is, it gives you the essential details about her). Simply being a "brief overview" doesn't prevent coverage from being  - Encyclopedias are brief over-views! https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=O1cYAAAAIAAJ&q=Bezetti+Frincu&dq=Bezetti+Frincu&redir_esc=y Who's who in Opera: is a similar RS. It is a long accepted principle here that whilst directories etc. are not typically sigcov, encyclopedias (and similar books) may well be

Comment: leaning delete. I'm ambivalent. We have an acknowledged |systemic bias against older or non-anglophone article subjects for which online English sources are necessarily less available. That's part of the reason we have SNGs, to reduce the need for "we need to find sources now" analysis that might not be possible in the timeframe of an AfD. On the other hand, I don't see that she meets  either. {{tq|A cântat alături de mari nume}} from https://www.mediafax.ro/cultura-media/soprana-elena-dima-toroiman-a-decedat-joi-la-84-de-ani-7800858 the Mediafax source above seems to be more of an "alongside big names" than a "she is a big name", and her appearances (not sufficiently significant) and membership in ensembles (only one) doesn't seem to make the cut either. Maybe  slightly favours bands or solo singers, but AfD obviously isn't the place to make changes to our guidelines. Policy-wise, close to the line it may be, but I think she falls on the delete side. I wouldn't be terribly troubled if this was closed as "no consensus" though, and if anyone wants to work on it, it should definitely be drafitfied/userified on request

Comment: I cannot access the second source, so I cannot see if it has significant coverage. I did look at the first source however, and it does not provide significant coverage, only a paragraph that is more data listing than actual coverage. Therefore, I do not think she passes GNG or

Comment: I added a source for content about her husband. This does not actually add to notability just content sourcing but I have been unable to find anything, especially support for "her career took a very successful course",  more than passing mention that the subject was just "an opera singer". I would like to state that |"Civility" is not only policy it is also part of our |"Five pillars". I do not feel that editors are required to boldly state every time ''"I performed a  search!"'' and think it is Wikipedia:Casting aspersions|casting aspersions to imply that it is not performed by anybody. There are stipulations laid out, |"considered a minimum search requirement", and if that is performed without success, that would include sourcing advancing  and not just content, then notability can be questioned. It is not unreasonable to expect sources to be |supplied which is backed by many WP:policies and guidelines|policies and guidelines (,  (people) (including WP:ENTERTAINER or WP:NMUSIC), Wikipedia:Citing sources, and many others for |inclusion.  states: {{tq|Wikipedia articles are not a final draft, and an article's subject can be notable if such sources exist, even if they have not been named yet. If it is likely that significant coverage in independent sources can be found for a topic, deletion due to lack of notability is inappropriate.

Comment: per , because I find this argument unconvincing: "For all we know, the goal of the ''Groẞes Sängerlexicon'' might be to have an entry on every singer that ever lived." It is not possible to have an entry on every singer that ever lived, or even a large fraction of them. The book has editors who have made editorial decisions on who to include. This is third-party independent coverage that addresses the subject directly and in detail. —&nbsp

Comment: Does anyone do  or even attempt to find sourced these days or do we just look at the article? I found the following: https://books.google.ca/books?id=O1cYAAAAIAAJ&q=Bezetti+Frincu&dq=Bezetti+Frincu&redir_esc=y - an entry exists Announcement of "celebration" at http://www.romania-muzical.ro/stire/opera-naional-din-bucureti/955331/49/5 She is listed as a "big name of Romanian lyric scene" at https://www.mediafax.ro/cultura-media/soprana-elena-dima-toroiman-a-decedat-joi-la-84-de-ani-7800858 https://www.mcgill.ca/music/files/music/channels/attach/17may_nauta_notes_english.pdf - passing mention. https://adevarul.ro/locale/galati/5-mai---5-iunie-luna-cadourilor-melomani-festivalul-leonard-1_50ad85857c42d5a66396b023/index.html - passing mention https://reader.exacteditions.com/issues/51599/page/57 - passing mention Entry in https://www.loot.co.za/product/books-llc-romanian-singer-introduction/ggpj-1322-g7a0. The fact that she was born in 1937 means that she would be well over 80 today. As a lyric soprano, it's clear that she would have been in her prime more than 20 years ago, well before the age of online media, so we're not going to find a lot online and books and encyclopedia are required here. I suspect that she would have been in print between 1960 and around 1995
