declined prod. Fails WP:MUSICBIO. the article includes a lot of uncited grand claims like her being described by rolling stone magazine. Yes she won an APRA award, [1] but it is not in a major category. LibStar (talk) 15:54, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment the Rolling Stone one is in fact cited to the month of issue; the nominator's claim is trivially factually incorrect. I hope this isn't yet another sloppy deletion nomination - David Gerard (talk) 16:40, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but rename to Tecoma (musician) or something. Tecoma being her stagename. She had national rotation. "Triple J put her single City Folk on high rotation" Santer, Vanessa (5 June 2006), "No nerves is good nerves for fledgling performer", Sydney MX. Also enough coverage for WP:GNG. The billboard piece and Shedden, Iain (28 March 2006), "Young troubadours sing the praises of industry assistance", The Australian are both very good sources. Also available are "Seamless blend of styles", Hobart Mercury, 6 September 2007 - Burdon, Daniel (6 September 2007), "Amira's brew is a top drop", Centralian Advocate - "Alice exports eclectic Tecoma", Gold Coast Sun, 21 February 2007 - Rogers, Chelsea (12 January 2007), "Alice comes first for Amira album", Centralian Advocate - Langford, Ben (5 May 2006), "Karma coming back to Tecoma", Northern Territory News - Falconer, Rebecca (11 November 2005), "JJJ picks Amira", Centralian Advocate. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:35, 19 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per duffbeerforme's comments the article should be renamed to Tecoma as she is more notable for her stage name. In 2006 she won APRA's Professional Development Award. There are numerous indepedent verifiable references to Tecoma. She has toured international, appearing at Popkomm in Berlin. Dan arndt (talk) 01:19, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this nomination is just silly, she is notable, the Rolling Stone is cited (note that I've added a Billboard magazine reference since it was nominated). --CyberXRef^talk 01:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Keep she is notable under her performance name, Tecoma. Numerous independent reliable sources available. Toured internationally. Music on high rotation on national radio. Nominator admits subject won an APRA Award but the claim that it is "not in a major category" is irrelevant: I'm sure there are 1000s of artists that would want any APRA award.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 04:18, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Comment as nominator, I am happy to close this with a redirect to Tecoma. is that ok with people? LibStar (talk) 04:36, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment seen a good idea.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 06:00, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Tecoma is an article on plants so no, it as not OK. It looses this article. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:11, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
  - easy solved Duff Man - just use Tecoma (musician) as suggested by Grahame.Dan arndt (talk) 12:31, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
    - Then that would be a close with a move to there. Closing with a redirect loses this article. duffbeerforme (talk) 12:56, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I could move the article to this new name. LibStar (talk) 13:16, 20 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
