Questionably notable and improvable as my searches found nothing better than this and the current state is hardly acceptable with not much change since starting in July 2008. Note that this was once nominated before at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kiril manolov todorov. Pinging RHaworth, Edward321, Wikimandia and Bearian.

• Weak keep - arguably notable based on having performed in a tour around several countries including several cities in his native Bulgaria, Croatia etc. Bearian (talk) 01:23, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep This is a dreadful article, poorly referenced, and much in need of improvement. However, if you search under his name in Bulgarian (Кирил Манолов), you can find quite a lot in the Bulgarian press, including a big feature on him here in Vesti, a television interview here on Bulgarian National Television, and another big feature on him here in Trud. See also coverage of his performances in the title role of Falstaff in the Spanish, Italian, and Hungarian press here. Also reviews of his performances in leading roles in the German press, e.g. here and here (there are more). He has also won at least two major singing prizes.

• Note I'm in the process of completely re-writing and referencing the article. I've whacked it down to stub and will build it back up, although the finished product will be considerably more concise than the original hyperbolic version. Voceditenore (talk) 14:17, 15 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• Update I have now completely rewritten the article with multiple references. Voceditenore (talk) 09:19, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
