Fails WP:NMUSIC. Unsigned (and seemingly never signed) artist, released one single seven years ago that supposedly got press. Her other singles are only listed on her website. Has a 2012 album release on "Interscope Digital Distribution," which is not Interscope Records, but actually turns out to be TuneCore [1]. No non-personal GHits on first page, after which the WP mirror list begins. MSJapan (talk) 22:48, 10 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was inclined to delete this article but there does seem to be on the face of it quite a bit of noteriety in the former USSR for her TV appearances even if she has not made it in English speaking markets. One thing that is concerning is that neither the person who put the original article (a redirect) nor the editor who first fleshed this out was informed? Isn't that bad form?

Comment See here, where the person the automatic tools indicate is the creator was informed. There is no requirement to inform every editor who has ever worked on an article when it is sent to AfD. I would highly suggest that the closing admin look at the timing of the above vote, as JASpencer is stalking my contribs due to a dispute on another article in this same time frame. The basis of the vote is to claim impropriety on my part, not to make a good-faith vote on an article. "On the face of it" is not a policy-based argument, and certainly doesn't cut it when you cannot read the source language. MSJapan (talk) 23:08, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please stop throwing around allegations MSJapan? I commented on this because you already have had Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2012_December_15#Tahoe-LAFS complaints on this type of behaviour. Criticism is not stalking, and please stop flattering yourself otherwise. JASpencer (talk) 23:52, 16 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

And why are you a) bringing up another discussion here, and b) why were you involved in that discussion? You keep walking into discussions you are not involved in simply to offer "criticism" of me, which is exactly what you're doing here. Next stop, ANI.

Weak delete - the puls.by source mentions that Aliya's "Here comes the time" and "Remember Me" were "actively broadcasted on national radio" (according to the Google translation), which would make her satisfy WP:MUSBIO's criterion no. 11, but the source doesn't say anything else about her, and I cannot find other sources. A single source with that little information is insufficient to write a verifiable article on her. Huon (talk) 15:51, 17 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
