Contested deletion

@3primetime3: I found some evidence that this conductor is notable, so I've declined the speedy - especially as Polociara is still editing the page and might add more sourcing. It looks like at least one of her pieces have played on Sveriges Radio, so I'd like to give them a chance to add more. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:58, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed the infobox to make things a little easier, I also want to note that I'm finding stuff like this that look to be reviews of recordings that have been made. I'm getting the impression that sources might likely be there, they're just sort of hidden due to time. There may also likely be sources in another language as well. I'll ask around for some help.

Just to add that it was a little WP:BITEy... I'm trying to source/expand the article now — Iadmc ♫^talk 14:19, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Iadmc: and @Tokyogirl79: I obviously don't mean to be bitey - I mean well. I thought the page was spam. The user who created the page seems to have created other articles with similar names that were also marked with the speedy deletion template and deleted. Didn't notice that there was actual concrete evidence. Thank you both of you and Polociara for your contributions to Wikipedia! :) -Primetime (talk) 02:07, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! And no offence meant — Iadmc ♫^talk 17:34, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No worries - the page was pretty nonexistent prior to my changes. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 12:58, 6 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Birth/death

According to ru:Кольчинская, Камилла Александровна, she was born on 1 January 1939 (looks suspect to me) and died on 16 February 2016 in Baltimore, so I've listed her above as |living=no. Apparently, the Russian Wikipedia entry is based on http://camillakolchinsky.com/en/guestbook; her death is also mentioned at http://nohugging.blogspot.com.au/2016_03_01_archive.html. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 15:08, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes the Russian Wikipedia just seems to pluck dates out of the blue. I've noticed that on several occasions. I went by the information at the El Camino Youth Orchestra website of 1931–2016 here and used that for the article. She was the musical director there for 20 years, and only retired two years before her death. Further confirmation that 1931 is probably her birth year rather than 1939 comes from this memoir by the late scientist and dissident Nikolay Vorontsov (ru:Воронцов, Николай Николаевич) published in the literary magazine Znamya. He was a childhood friend of Kolchinsky and states in the memoir that she was a little older than he. He was born in 1934. Voceditenore (talk) 14:41, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is the Google translation of the Vorontsov article, which has material about Kolchinsky's parents and early life in Russia and some about her later career. The reference for the original is:

Vorontsov, Nikolay (November 1998). "Забыть не в силах ничего". Znamya (in Russian)
