The Mientka Duo has not received enough coverage in reliable sources that are independent of Mientka Duo or its members to develop an attributable article on the topic. -- Jreferee t/c 17:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Since I don't speak or read French, my comment is a comment, but they appear to have won an award at Concours International De Musique De Chambre, which turns up many sources; that would appear to meet #8 at Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles Yngvarr (t) (c) 18:06, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep per this. The duo have performed nationally and internationally. Also, I believe the award in the comment above is quite notable in the field of chamber music. There's also this. The duo, as Nova Mientka, were featured in an Emmy-nominated documentary on PBS.--Sethacus 18:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete In order to be notable one of the requirements is multiple non-trivial sources. 1 is not multiple. My copyvio deletion request was denied, which I believe is incorrect because every single word from the wikipedia entry is from the URL I provided in the request. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 18:59, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm sorry, but the notability guidelines which is linked above says "any one" of the criteria, "Multiple non-trivial sources" is one of more than 10 listed. Yngvarr (t) (c) 19:35, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment They satisfy at least two: Touring and Criteria #12: Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast across a national radio or TV network. The award, as I stated, is quite notable in their field. These all come from 3 different sources. There's also evidence to indicate that their Washington, D.C. concert was broadcast on NPR, from a fourth source. 4 is multiple where I went to school.--Sethacus 20:36, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep There may not be enough coverage to make it past a stub, however touring internationally meets music notability. The requirement is meet general or any of the specific guidelines, therefore they pass notability. Barely, but they pass. Horrorshowj 19:28, 20 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Please also take into consideration that every word in the article is pulled from this page. Please notice that there is more information on that page that is not on the wiki article, however all of the text from the wiki article is 100% from the test of the page. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 12:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. While information is sourced from the page you indicate, it has not been copied verbatim. There do not seem to be any copyright violation issues. I'm afraid I don't see what bearing your comment on the deletion debate. Bondegezou 11:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong keep as per Sethacus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bondegezou (talk • contribs) 11:27, 27 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I can see this article being greatly expanded, it therefore asserts its notability to me. Mbisanz 19:14, 28 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Delete. The local papers cited don't seem to have done much reporting on this duo. It seems possible that the honors mentioned are simply taken from the resume submitted by the group, which works against the 'independent' sourcing requirement. I couldn't find any confirmation on the web that they had won the Concours International De Musique De Chambre, nor that they had been featured on NPR. Presumably they have, it would just add to the credibility of the article if a mention of that could be found on NPR's site. EdJohnston 01:46, 29 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
