Vlad Agachi

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

I found Vlad Agachi whose full name is Vlad Andrei Agachi, while checking Category:Unreferenced BLPs from September 2008.

After some searching I am unsure whether it meets Wikipedia:Notability, it might or it might not:
- there are entries for a Vlad Agachi in facebook and a review by a Vlad Agachi in amazon and a page stating copyright by Vlad.
- there is one video of a concert (Tone Poem Kikimora, played by the National University of Music Orchestra (Bucharest, Romania)) conducted by Vlad Andrei Agachi on vimeo here (this one reports an upload failure)
- no romainian wikipedia article for w:ro:Vlad Agachi or w:ro:Vlad Andrei Agachi
- only one google match (I searched both short and full names, scholar, book, news and images) not derived from wikipedia: http://social.moldova.org/news/eugen-dogaam-vrut-sai-scot-pe-ai-nostri-in-lume-124221-rom.html (Romanian to English translation) which names him as one of the two conductors of a concert by Eugen Doga at the Romanian Athenaeum in Bucharest in 2008.
- not listed on any page from http://fge.org.ro/2008/05/23/ to http://fge.org.ro/2008/06/18/ - dates around the concert review dated 2008 June 3 above

Are these sufficient for Wikipedia? -84user (talk) 12:43, 29 January 2010 (UTC) 84user (talk) 12:43, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The subject doesn't meet notability requirements needed for inclusion in the encyclopedia. No substantial and reliable coverage in the third-party sources.--Vejvančický (talk) 14:18, 29 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I found only one mainstream Romanian press mention: [1] Cotidianul, but I don't think that's enough for WP:MUSICBIO. There are a few more in local press venues [2]. Few google hits about him in Romanian sites [3] [4]. Most are routine announcements of concerts. He did tour Poland, [5] (Romanian Foreign Office announcement), but this did not seem to have generated any coverage beyond an annoucement on the Polish orchestra's page [6]. Getting mentioned in an article on "excess of conductors on labor market" [7] is probably not enough either. The article appears to be an autobiography, see Special:Contributions/Bluemoon4ever.

Hi all, I happen to know about this article and its main contributor. It is not an autobiography, though, but indeed written by someone who knows Agachi personally. As far as I know, that is called a conflict of interest. But this detail won't help in determining whether the article should stay or should go :) About Agachi's notability I can only add that he's well known in the young Romanian musicians' circles.
