Kesha (singer)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not meet notability requirements, WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Only sources are a press-release and blog / primary sourced; no reliable sources to assert notability, and I could not find any. Album details appear to fail WP:CRYSTAL Chzz ► 11:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - Kesha has been in The Hills, featured on a worldwide smash single, Right Round, signed to RCA she is releasing an album, TiK ToK the single is being promoted. Other album appearances, she wrote a Veronicas hit single.Raintheone (talk) 12:48, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - not sure how she doesn't pass notability... among what the above editor wrote, she is also included in the Lollapalozza lineup... Also, 5 references, none of which are a blog, only one is a press release, 3 of which are Billboard.com (a fairly reliable source IMHO), and a quick google search found me an interview with Esquire magazine. As far as album details go, the track listing has been removed (belongs on album article, not artist article), and that is the only part that seemed to fail WP:CRYSTAL...

Keep Concur that there's a ton of reliable sources that establish notability here. Gigs (talk) 17:51, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Where? Chzz ► 02:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See the below comments. To wit: [1] [2] [3] [4]... probably more.

Comment - When you have looked for your sources you have spelt it 'Kesha (singer)' it's actually 'Ke$ha' you need to be typing into the search engine.Raintheone (talk) 14:27, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

or even "Kesha Sebert", her real name... - Adolphus79 (talk) 14:51, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Although I am barely involved with the article itself, I plan to work on it in the near future as this artist is new and upcoming. Ke$ha has had some relevant third party coverage and with the release of her debut single shortly, I highly predict a greater range of reliable sources will come along that can be put in use to the article. • вяαdcяo chat 12:07, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
