Fails WP:SIGCOV and WP:No original research. Article is built almost entirely from primary sources like concert programs and theater performance databases. There are no independent secondary sources which address the subject directly and in detail. While I don't doubt that the subject could arguably meet WP:NMUSICIAN based on primary sources, the overuse of primary materials is problematic for its WP:OR. This is an example of someone who needs some coverage in secondary sources in order to be compliant with policies outside WP:N. We fundamentally can't build an article mainly off of primary materials. This is an example of where an academic needs to do some work first and get published in a journal or write something up in a book before we can have an article. 4meter4 (talk) 23:20, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: This is probably someone who could pass GNG if you were a German speaking/reading interwar musical history fan who had access to period news archives. But no-one like that has shown up to put in some significant coverage, and the article creator got banned for fake referencing so what references are there are already suspect and might not be legitimate.

Delete per WP:NACTOR. I’m not against primary sources. My problem is that her roles are basically supporting roles in opera, and so there’s likely not much left to find. Bearian (talk) 08:37, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
