Only a few references about being in a television competition a decade ago. From a search, she still makes music but hasn't really been covered by significant coverage since. Nexus000 (talk) 13:05, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I'm not necessarily for deletion. I'm unsure how I feel about this page. It may very well just need a cleanup. But I thought I'd open it to discussion. Nexus000 (talk) 13:17, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete none of the sources comes even close to showing that Hammond is a notable singer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - 12 years ago she got some news coverage due to the novelty of starting a music career at such a young age, but even then her music was not covered critically or objectively in any reliable fashion. It looks like she still pops up in the Northern Ireland press occasionally, but simply with announcements of some new release. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:15, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Neutral I don't think she's very notable, but she does have continuing coverage of her music, including on Ireland's public broadcast service, which I'm assuming is like American NPR[1]. She also has a somewhat recent interview with The Irish World discussing her new single[2]. It looks like she has some small amount of continuing coverage, although not enough to put me firmly into keep. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 17:46, 3 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Not saying this in herself makes her notable - she probably isn't - but RTÉ, like the BBC and similar broadcasters in most European countries, has a much bigger place in popular mass entertainment than PBS/NPR do. RobinCarmody (talk) 21:24, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Taking part in a reality show does not make someone automatically notable. Doing well, even winning, might do. But for singers and recording artists, you have got to satisfy Wikipedia policies on musicians, chart placings, album sales, anything to show that you're not just a contestant on a programme "famous for being famous" and this article does not suggest or prove that at all. doktorb _words^deeds 08:37, 8 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Just had a quick look in Google News and found two recent-ish Irish sources that should give her GNG at least and justify her article.

~~There's several more but just had a quick look. I think there's enough coverage. -- HistoricalAccountings (talk) 12:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)~~strike !vote of sock, see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/FlyboyExeter. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:52, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - not nearly enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, and doesn't meet any of the SNG's either. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:53, 11 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment added citation from 2020, the others mentioned above should be added. Not sure if this is WP:TOOSOON to be keep.Kaybeesquared (talk) 22:31, 13 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Article doesn't have SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. I don't think this meets GNG, BASIC or ANYBIO. BLP articles should strictly follow guidelines and sourcing requirements. // Timothy :: talk 07:23, 14 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
