She's German, not German-Japanese

Ms. Ott is a German citizen by birth, born in Germany. Her mother is Japanese. Had Ms. Ott chosen Japanese citizenship based on parentage, she would have to have done so by age 20 and explicitly renounced her German citizenship, giving up her German passport, under Japanese law. She didn't do that. Sometimes you can indicate ancestry by hyphenation, but the country of citizenship comes last, not first, e.g., Japanese-American. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.185.109.182 (talk) 08:39, 5 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I must also agree with the problem of referring to her as Japanese. We don’t identify someone by race only nationality. I can’t find any reference that she has Japanese citizenship. She appears to have only lived in Germany where she was born and raised. In the media, she is often referred to as German-Japanese, but I don’t know if this is just laziness on the part of the writers and they’re using this Wikipedia article.

Doubts about 'notability'? (What a shame!)

Ott is a legitimately important, though relatively recently famous, classical pianist- Deutsche Grammophon is currently marketing Ott and Rafal Blechacz as the "next generation" of Chopin performers. Ott has performed with Paavo Jarvi and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra and other orchestras of equal stature; she has also given well-received tours of Japan and Germany.

Agreed. There are people who cannot distinguish between a poorly written article and a stub. In a similar fashion, they tend to assume that because an article is still poor or incomplete, its subject does not deserve attention from this encyclopedia. Let's see what happens to this talented young artist in 10 more years and to this article, and if there's still anyone challenging her 'notability' by then. --SciCorrector (talk) 23:02, 30 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
