RelistedI have reversed my decision in order to relist in light of the changes made by Paul Erik in order to allow people to weigh in on them. Information on the reasoning can be found at the bottom of my talk pageValley2city‽ 19:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- no sources, no notability established... DreamGuy (talk) 13:45, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: no reliable independent sources, possible self-promotion. JamesBurns (talk) 03:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

delete - I was only able to find 1 mention in a reliable source [1] and it only consists of an announcement about an upcoming performance. No significant 3rd party coverage. -- The Red Pen of Doom 05:07, 20 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
still not convinced that minor coverage, based on press releases, in local papers is "significant coverage". -- The Red Pen of Doom 00:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete one source does not notability make, as they say Vartanza (talk) 05:29, 21 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There's no link for the Anchorage article, but the Vacaville Reporter (so minor of a paper that it doesn't have its own Wiipedia article, just a page with a list of small papers owned by a parent company) looks to be nothing more than a republished press release, thus failing the independent and nontrivial clauses of notability guidelines. Local papers don't go very far in establishing notability for an encyclopedia anyway. Notable entertainers would have picked up more coverage than that. In fact I have relatives who do local gigs and self-produce albums who clearly do not meet notability standards who have better local news coverage than that.

After reading your comment and looking again, I must agree with you about the Reporter article sounding like a press release, so I have removed that one. In the meantime, I found one other article in the Daily News. With the two fairly lengthy articles and one brief article about her, I was able to add some more verifiable content, and there is more from them that still could be added.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Valley2city‽ 19:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
What, we have to vote Double Dog Dare You Delete for the delete we already voted on to actually go through? If the person ever becomes actually notable then recreate the article, there's no need to drag this out. DreamGuy (talk) 19:16, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I had added sources fairly close to the end of the discussion cycle. I thought it was enough to meet criterion #1 of WP:MUSICBIO; you disagreed. That's fine, but I do not see the harm in asking others to weigh in with their own opinions about this disagreement. Paul Erik(talk)(contribs) 20:14, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
That relisting was entirely warranted. Everyone who called for deletion before said the article had no reliable sources when what really matters if such sources exist. - Mgm|(talk) 08:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Also found this, so at least she has received coverage in two sources.--Michig (talk) 19:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There are more than four references on the web to my mum and that does not make her notable. Trevor Marron (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:56, 23 April 2009 (UTC).[reply]
Perhaps, but here we're talking newspaper references. Also, you didn't mention where those references to your mom came from. I'm mentioned around the web dozens of times, but I'm not notable because non of the references are reliable. - Mgm|(talk) 08:35, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actully all references to my mum are to mainstream UK newspaper articles. It is still not enough to make her worthy of a Wikipedia page. Trevor Marron (talk) 11:10, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
