• I would assume a rapper, but this seems to predate that form of music. My best guess is a rhythmic dancer? Oaktree b (talk) 15:39, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• I'm none the wiser from having read the Russian Wikipedia's article; but so many potted biographies of Гринер, Вера Александровна turn up in a quick Google Books search that I suspect that a proper biographical article is supportable from Russian language sources.

• Delete: Non-notable individual, not sure what their career was to be honest. Name is too common to find anything about this individual. Delete for lack of sourcing. Oaktree b (talk) 15:40, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Her field seems to be Dalcroze eurhythmics. PamD 10:51, 6 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Surprising that a thorough
  WP:BEFORE didn't manage to work out her field: it doesn't seem possible to say someone isn't notable without understanding the article well enough to know what she did. (OK, my school-days study of Russian still allows me to transliterate, even if I've forgotten most of the rest, so when I looked at her ru.wiki article I spotted a link to Ритмическая гимнастика - "Ritmicheskaya gimnastica", approx - and its equivalent in en.wiki was Dalcroze eurhythmics.)

  • To be honest I suspected "rhythmitician" had something to do with dance (although I had never heard of

  • You should put those Russian language skills to work on those potted biographies that I mentioned. Start with
    ISBN 9785043447104 pages 49–50. Uncle G (talk) 14:18, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

    • LOL. I assume this is meant for @PamD. Nirva20 (talk) 15:40, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Nirva20That's why it was subtly indented only to the same level as yours, ie to show it was replying to the same point as you were. @Uncle G It was a long time ago - Russian O Level was the only way to drop Latin while doing science subjects, and fascinating at the time but not used since except on one holiday in 1974. And Google Books won't show me those pages, sadly. PamD 15:58, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
        • Does it show you
          ISBN 9785457690226 page 131? That's another apparent potted biography. Uncle G (talk) 07:05, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

• Keep: as pointed out by UncleG above, she is included in many book sources in Russian, and is clearly a notable figure in the field of dance / movement / eurythmics. Her Russian Wikipedia article has existed since 2008, edited by multiple editors. This, shown as an External Link and dated 2020, seems to be a close paraphrase of the ru.wiki article, but with an added photo, and was thought worth publishing by a theatrical institute (Teatralnie Institut im B. Shchukina. Uchebnie Teatr) .... ahah: Boris Shchukin Theatre Institute, where, I've just noticed, she taught. Note that the creating editor of the en.wiki article appears to be the creator of the ru.wiki article, and appears to be a Russian-speaker rather than English-speaker, which accounts for some of the clunkiness of this article. It needs improvement, not deletion. PamD 16:25, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's in addition to the two aforementioned apparently an entry in
    ISBN 9785898840259 page 476 has a 1-paragraph biography saying Ученица Далькроза which PamD will have to translate for us. Uncle G (talk) 07:05, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply

• Keep: seems to me a notable figure in Russian eurythmics and there is enough evidence for a general notability. (Msrasnw (talk) 09:24, 11 March 2024 (UTC))[reply]
• Keep on the merits of the person, and a sort of procedural keep anyway -- a nomination that begins with a denegration of an entire field with research journals and professors, and comments that connect Dalcroze eurhythmics with hip-hop aren't a great way to establish understanding of the norms of a field. (I'm a music prof. with not much enthusiasm for eurhythmics, but I do know that it's a well established field of studies). I'm tempted to go with weak keep because the article is a mess, but, as I've been argued against on supporting for amazing "too-soon" articles, the state of the article not part of the notability criteria. -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 09:57, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
