Delete - I have some familiarity with Hungarian music and the language, but via more targeted searches all I can find on Ms. Székely are basic directory entries that say little more than what is in this article. She studied with Bartók, found some work as a concert musician and piano instructor, wrote some books that appear to all be out of print. Unless an expert on both the language and classical music of Hungary can dig up some old but reliable sources, there is not much to work with here. Despite having a connection with one famous musician and getting some books published in her time, Ms. Székely seems to have been an honest but ordinary working person like everyone else, and therefore not notable enough for an encyclopedic article. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:02, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Doomsdayer520,

Thank you for your research. I originally created this article 10 years ago after reading one of Székely's novels (in its French translation). I thought it odd that she didn't have an article on Wikipedia (except on the Hungarian version), and wished to include her so that other people could be aware of her work. I had actually borrowed the book from a regular library in Paris, without looking for particularly old writers. This translation was published in 2005, which I find rather recent for an early 20th-century Hungarian writer.

I don't know Székely's work as a musician. The existence of the article on the Hungarian version might indicate that she is interesting for Hungarian literature and music, but not necessarily for an English-speaking or an international audience. In this case, for my part, I do not oppose deletion. Enqueror (talk) 18:46, 14 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
