Non-notable individual. Two top 20 UK hit singles would be a pass of WP:NBAND, but neither named track appears in the UK top 20 chart. Otherwise, claim to notability appears to be based on being a backing dancer in a children's TV show. Yunshui ^雲 _水 09:21, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

delete - I can find nothing to suggest the music claims are true, even there own website does not mention music. Cheers KylieTastic (talk) 13:33, 24 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Internet searches don't reveal independent in-depth coverage of the subject in published sources. I find only the subject's own website, social media and listings like IMDB. As such, I feel that the article fails WP:GNG, WP:NPEOPLE and WP:NACTOR. I actually turn up more material about the 1984 video from Emu's All Live Pink Windmill Show that went viral in 2016.

Delete per nom; no refs that suggest notability, and being one of 10 children dancing in a viral video is not a claim of notability. Emu's TV Series could be a redirect target, but I don't see any reason to believe this person is more notable than other people of the same name. power~enwiki (π, ν) 18:25, 29 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
