[edit] Gevorg Sargsyan

Gevorg Sargsyan (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Asserts notability, but the article reads like vanity, and the references are mostly self-references. Delete unless notability shown independently. --Nlu (talk) 17:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

• Weak Keep - very clear assertion of notability, although some of the claims need to be backed up by further referencing. I don't speak Armenian and haven't checked out the websites cited, but "www.opera.am" and "www.persons.am" sound like they probably qualify as third-party reliable sources, rather than vanity pages.

• Weak Keep. My guess is that the only reason notability is in question is that he's Armenian, and so most of the sources are in Armenian; if he were an American of similar level of notability, I doubt anybody would nominate him for deletion. --Delirium 08:30, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. What are you speaking about??? This conductor is one of the most notable and respectfull in Armenian music life!!! Check out the references, there is only 1000 names in www.persons.am and Gevorg Sargsyan has own place on that serious website directory... Sure, this article should NOT be deleted.--208.49.241.227 14:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I agree with "Delirium". As above mentioned user said the question is just a nationality... However, www.persons.am web-directory is available in English at www.persons.am/en . I don't think this articl should be considered for deletion. That's wrong.--195.250.94.167 07:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. How long such kind of rasizm will be continued? Why it is considered for deletion? Because other nations are afraid, that there are too many talented and impressed Armenians with population only 3 mln... Don't count on nationality, look how famous and notable he is! --83.217.229.147 11:06, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

• Comment - All of the references are in English. His entry on the "1000 Armenian Famous Persons" is no more than a name, a picture, and the line "Conductor of Armenian Opera Theater" ([1]). This person is not listed anywhere that I could find on the State Academic Opera & Ballet Theater website; most telling, he is not listed in the list of primary staff ([2]). -- Jonel | Speak 06:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
• Weak Delete - Don't think he meets WP:Music yet but may very do so in the future however wikipedia is not a crystal ball. A1octopus 14:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. Thanks God Maestro don't see this everything... When me and other users are looking trough and making a comments about him he is working and bringing a joy to everyone who ever attemts his concerts. I know, that he has to conduct in Valencia ([3]) and give masterclass for students in Spain. What about listings on website([4])name and pictures are appeared almost for everyone. So, this is not a subject to discuss. WP:Music can not be complete list of notable and at the same time young conductors without name of Gevorg Sargsyan. If you search via google name "Gevorg Sargsyan" you will find out, that his name must be kept on WP:Music.
