essentially promotional article on almost unknown performer. I do not think she meets NMUSIC, but I admit that's not my special field. The New Yorker "article" was one of their notices, not a full article DGG ( talk ) 03:17, 18 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Many of the sources say that her song "Radiohead" was "number 1 on a South African radio chart." I haven't been able to find any reliable evidence of this, or of what "a South African radio chart" means, but this might be a lead for anyone looking to find evidence that the page satisfies WP:NMUSIC. For NMUSIC's criterion of published articles, the New Yorker article is more than "trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories" -- so it would seem that that would qualify as one published work in a reliable source, of which multiple would be needed for that criterion.

• Keep I'm not sure how four sentences covering nationality, birthplace and a mention of her music career is "entirely promotional"! In actual fact, there isn't really any "promotional text" in the article. I did some work cleaning this article up before it was nominated for AfD. Looking at the references then, it appeared to me to be just notable enough for inclusion. They are not fabulous, but they are there. She's a musician on the international stage, and receiving some quality press for her work. During my search it also appeared that she is well known in South Africa.198.58.171.47 (talk) 05:59, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a longish article in the SA press, published three days ago.198.58.171.47 (talk) 06:02, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. If this is promotional, whoever is doing the promoting is doing a very poor job. A fair amount of coverage found ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]), although she doesn't appear to have done much yet to merit an encyclopedia article. --Michig (talk) 08:28, 25 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep in light of the coverage that has been brought up, which seems sufficient to meet NMUSIC. CapitalSasha ~ talk 20:40, 28 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
