Keep, do not delete. The performer is internationally known and meets WP:NOTE. Sure the article can be improved with additional sourcing but deletion is not at improvement over the status quo ex ante. XavierItzm (talk) 17:31, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Respect wikipedia criterias: 2- The person has received a highly prestigious academic award or honor at a national or international level. 7- The person has made substantial impact outside academia in their academic capacity. Based on the source: "ROYAL ACADEMY OF MUSIC HONOURS ANNOUNCED". Royal Academy of Music. Archived from the original on 27 March 2018. Associate of the Royal Academy of Music (ARAM) - Awarded to former students who have made a significant contribution to the music profession [...] Kristine Balanas Violin.

Keep per WP:ANYBIO, because she has "received a well-known and significant award or honor," including the ARD International Music Competition (3rd prize, 2017) and the ARAM noted above, and per WP:NMUSICOTHER, because she is "frequently covered in publications devoted to a notable music sub-culture," including The Strad, The Violin Channel, and Classic FM.

Keep meets WP:MUSICBIO criteria with the awards. Expertwikiguy (talk) 02:22, 23 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as passes WP:NMUSIC with multiple reliable sources coverage and winning a notable music award, so deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 02:00, 25 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
