Notability has not been demonstrated through "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" — and no, passing mention in an old number of Billboard doesn't count as "significant coverage". - Biruitorul ^Talk 16:28, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

• Keep – That he has an entry in the encyclopedia Theaterlexikon der Schweiz should confer sufficient notability. Having sung leading roles at major opera houses satisfies Wikipedia:Notability (music)#Criteria for musicians and ensembles point 6. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 06:46, 23 April 2015 (UTC)
• Delete Fails notability guidelines. Article lede reads "enjoyed a successful international career" but this is just fluff and opinion. Dharahara (talk) 16:21, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

• Delete Using the find links above, I could find none that satisfy :WP:GNG. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/ion-buzea-mn0000803746/discography is an example: one recording. Naxos lists him, http://www.naxos.com/person/Ion_Buzea/164848.htm, but only two albums, and he is one of several singers in both cases. Neither the Romanian nor German articles offer hope for more information or references on the subject though. Perhaps we should have some input from the :Wikipedia:WikiProject Classical music weigh-in. It should be cross-listed there before any decision is made. I tried to list it there. Perhaps someone can fix that mess. Walter Görlitz (talk) 14:47, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
• Keep on the basis of the information in the Rumanian article. I lay particular stress on " Profesor Honoris Causa al Universității „Babes-Bolyai” Cluj-Napoca" Not really an international star, but that amounts to fame, and the standard for notability is much less than famous.

::Reminder: Theaterlexikon der Schweiz has [http://tls.theaterwissenschaft.ch/wiki/Ion_Buzea an entry], which sould be sufficient. -- Michael Bednarek (talk) 07:35, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

• Delete - only one reference and that merely lists the subject among others in a brief mention of a Cincinnati Summer Opera performance at the zoo. No indication of WP:ENTERTAINER notability.--Rpclod (talk) 16:45, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
• Keep - meets GNG, plenty of sources [http://adevarul.ro/cultura/arte/omagiu-tenorului-ion-buzea-1_54cdb788448e03c0fd29fb89/index.html], [http://citynews.ro/eveniment-29/ceremonie-emotionanta-pentru-tenorul-ion-buzea-63308]; many, many articles related to various perfomances in different countries, and a [http://www.forumopera.com/actu/elena-mosuc-je-suis-lhumble-servante-du-genie-createur French article here] in which he is referred to as a "famous Romanian tenor" with a substantial international career. —Мандичка^YO 😜 23:01, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
• Comment - You say "plenty" but you only show two. Walter Görlitz (talk) 06:58, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
