There seems to be a problem with notability, since the article cites no RS (two of the links are her personal webpages, one is a link to a play she directed, and the fourth link is dead). HPfan4 (talk) 16:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Hard to find links about this theater person, many links to someone with the same name helping Ukrainian refugees. I find this from the NYT [1], helps notability but doesn't fully satisfy it. Not sure how an interview in a peer-reviewed journal fares [2] ? Oaktree b (talk) 17:29, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only reasonable RS I can find is the mentioned peer-reviewed article and accompanying website/video by the author of article PDXBart (talk) 19:37, 5 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per WP:BASIC. There is in-depth coverage: Yana Ross: A Director Who Transforms Timeless to Timely (The Theatre Times, 2017 - while this includes an interview, it has substantial additional WP:SECONDARY content to help support notability). In addition to the 2022 NYT review of her work noted above, there is also a 2019 Theatre Times review, and via GScholar: DER KIRSCHGARTEN (THE CHERRY ORCHARD) (Theatre Journal, Vol. 72, Issue 2, June 2020); Performance Reviews: MORBROR VANJA (UNCLE VANYA) (Theatre Journal, Vol. 67, Iss. 3, Oct 2015), as well as secondary context for the 2021 interview in Contemporary Theatre Review, and a variety of citations to inaccesible sources related to her and her work. In the WP library, reviews of her work include "Play About Eastern European Middle Class" (The Warsaw Voice, 2016, "The article reviews the play "The Lake," directed by Yana Ross") and a citation for "Więcej niż węch / More Than Smell" (Didaskalia, (131):48-54, "Pola Sobaś-Mikołajczyk reviews Yana Ross's play Heart of a Dog"); on ProQuest, there is 2022 coverage in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, e.g. "Die Spur des Geldes: Salzburgs Festspiele und die Solway Group", e.g. (Google translated, "Yana Ross told online theater portal Nachtkritik.de that it's "very important that the festival belongs to the artists and not the sponsors, so it's our duty to taxpayers and the public to do the work they commission. Therefore we have no right to stop the work, but we have the right to draw the festival's attention to the mistakes made."") and "Ringelreih mit Knarre"; there is similar 2022 coverage in Welt am Sonntag, e.g. "Toxische Töne", Die Presse, e.g. "Die Klassikszene ist unter Druck" and "Kulturelle Kollateraldellen als Folge des Ukraine-Kriegs", and Die Welt, e.g. "Eine prüde Parade" (translation: "The only thing that caused a scandal in the new version by ten writers was the way the Latvian-born American director Yana Ross and the Swiss author Lukas Bärfuss attracted media attention about the "toxic" festival sponsorship", with additional commentary on the production).

Keep Can see why you might not see RS if you're only reading English and seeing the Ukrainian-refugee-helper, but Yana Ross Regisseurin (Yana Ross director, in German) brings up many articles in Google News from clearly reliable sources. This includes more than enough reviews of her directed shows to meet WP:CREATIVE in addition to meeting GNG. Samsmachado (talk) 01:42, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per Beccaynr. Suonii180 (talk) 20:54, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
