Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vika Tsiganova
Firstly, that deletion nomination is just a , it doesn't consist of an actual position. In the following, I give most of the citations I have, the rest I pulled from the WP article in Russian because I simply cannot track down Russian-language RS. I also don't know how to check Russian national charts so I've just not tried with that. ''' criteria 1''': She has been in a few reasonably reputable sources written in English - The Moscow Times https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2014/10/21/russian-singers-compete-to-write-ukrainian-separatist-anthem-a40623, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty https://www.rferl.org/a/1141481.html, TASS https://tass.com/society/924961. Also some from pop culture sources - less reliable, but volume of articles is still relevant. '''Criteria 6''': She was in the https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ru&u=http://bounb.ru/dates-eao/2017/mar53/kemt40&prev=search&pto=aue Chamber Jewish Musical Theatre which is notable in its own right due to its place in Russian Jewish history, as well as having had notable members (e.g. Yuri Sherling and Yakov Yavno, who were both recognised as People's Artist of the RSFSR). '''Criteria 8''': she had songs in Pesnya goda in 1997, 1998, 1999 http://pesnyagoda.my1.ru/1993_98.html (the equivalent of 2 award nominations). The source isn't great but I struggled to find any list of the nominees and winners from every year. '''Criteria 11''': As described by Gorgona JS, she was on rotation with Shanson radio. '''Non-singer notability''': She's received a couple of national award/medal/title (not sure what to call it - like Order of Australia, those kind of things). She was a candidate in a political election for United Russia (the ruling party) http://www.khabarovsk.izbirkom.ru/arkhiv-vyborov-i-referendumov/2019/dopolnitelnye-vybory-deputata-gosudarstvennoy-dumy-federalnogo-sobraniya-rossiyskoy-federatsii-sedmo/. She had a clothing collection in a significant fashion week. '''Summary''': she meets multiple criteria of notability, even with me having the constraints of not knowing Russian
