Almost tagged as a speedy, but an internet search shows the person is a singer. However, the person has really done nothing that meets notability guidelines. Fails mainly WP:GNG LAA Fan^sign _review 20:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The news article to which Phil Bridger refers is from Agence France-Presse and ran internationally (for example I found it in the Calgary Herald, Aug 28, 2009, p. A23). There is also this article about her. I'd err on the side of caution here, for someone who would most likely be written about mainly in foreign-language press; these two articles are a good start. Keep per WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:53, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per articles per WP:BAND.--Epeefleche (talk) 22:01, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

When I voted keep, I believe there were two articles from reliable sources. We now have only one. We need two to meet the "multiple" articles criterion of WP:BAND.--Epeefleche (talk) 04:48, 13 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. I have rewritten the article based on the source that I linked above. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:18, 11 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
