The result was no consensus. It would be nice if one of the participants at this debate could add the sources that were found to the article and also clean it up a bit and remove trivia like who else is buried at her cemetery... Randykitty (talk) 10:13, 7 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm quite convinced this is fabricated or at the very least very unknown as this has existed since June 2007 with hardly any edits let alone improvement and you'll the first version aas completely unacceptable. Granted, again, considering possible anonymity and obscurity, I still would've expected at least something to confirm her existence (especially if she died as recent as 2007) thus I was impulsed to almost speedy this.

Keep. This article is unsourced, but it does appear to be a description of the subject's real career. For example, [1] is confirmation that she sang backup for BeBe Winans. [2] lists her as working on a project titled "Special Gift" which was produced by Michael J. Powell, although it refers to Special Gift as an album and Christian Singles as the artist. Some sites mentioned her death, such as [3], [4], and [5]. I don't know how much of this article is accurate or how notable the subject really is, but it shouldn't be considered fabricated or deserving of speedy deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:49, 13 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Definitely not a hoax. In addition to the sources listed above, there's also this link from the Christian Broadcasting Network, which describes the subject as a songwriter for Vickie Winans, and multiple other sources listing her as a songwriter of various songs. It's not totally clear whether that fully qualifies to meet WP:NMUSIC, but the subject is undoubtedly genuine. Calamondin12 (talk) 00:24, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per the sources provided by Metropolitan. Not a hoax. ~EDDY ^{(talk/contribs)}~ 22:42, 25 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: I'm inclined towards a delete, given I've seen no evidence either in print or online that she passes WP:MUSIC. I'll hold my !vote in case someone obtains some evidence of notability. FoCuS contribs; talk to me! 16:44, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Definitely not a hoax, but just as definitely doesn't appear to pass WP:GNG, and clearly doesn't pass WP:NMUSIC, since notability isn't inherited, and her mentions are from her associations with notable folks. A tragic story, but the citations provided by Metropolitan90 don't rise to a level of notability, 2 brief mentions and 3 obits. Searches on News were hampered by the number of other folks with this same name, but did not appear to turn up anything, same for Books. Newspapers, JSTOR and Scholar turned up zero, (didn't check Highbeam, can't access it at my current location).Onel5969 ^{TT me} 18:15, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
