for someone that has been supposedly active in the music scene from 1980 to 2007 he gets no gnews hits [1]. gbooks mainly reveals listing or WP mirrors. [2]. the article is basically based on one source. fails WP:BIO, WP:COMPOSER and WP:MUSICBIO. LibStar (talk) 01:51, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is generally known much better in the Ukrainian ethnic community. Goodle gives 2,020 (0.23 сек.) in english sources http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=Peter+Deriashnyj&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8 and 2,920 (0.26 сек.) for the Cyrrillic version of his name Петро Деряжний. Keep also in mind that Deriashnyj is a transliteration of his surname via German, Often in articles they use other transliterations such as Deriazhny Bandurist (talk) 22:33, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

WP:GOOGLEHITS is an invalid argument. LibStar (talk) 02:23, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oh really! Well your argument about "lack of gnews" is equally invalid. --Pkravchenko (talk) 13:18, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
no, WP:GOOGLEHITS does not apply to gnews. LibStar (talk) 00:49, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep: The article would benefit from serious editing, but wiki etiquette and policy (WP:BEFORE) says that a ((notability)) tag should have been placed, instead of a deletion notice. Before targeting Ukrainian-related articles for deletion, User:LibStar, should ideally first learn a bit of Ukrainian. This would help him immensely in doing his internet searches. Using just the internet, Peter Deriashnyj is notable enough to be:

  1. Featured and interviewed by the Australian Government Broadcasting Service (SBS):
  2. Featured in the Ukrainian language edition of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (a broadcaster funded by the U.S. Congress):
  3. Featured in the international Bandura journal:
  4. Mentioned (as performing) in at least nine issues (between 1976 and 2008) of the largest circulating Ukrainian-language diaspora newspaper (existing since 1893), Svoboda:
  5. Mentioned (as performing) in at least one issue of the largest English-language Ukrainian newspaper in the Ukrainian diaspora, The Ukrainian Weekly:
  6. Featured (as performing) in a number of Ukrainian-language online media:
  7. Mentioned (as performing and/or conducting) in a number of Ukrainian and English-language online media:
