Only the Ottawa Citizen is significant coverage. I'm not quite sure this artist passes WP:MUSICBIO. I'm fairly neutral here but lean to delete; starting the AfD to get other opinions. (Prod was removed.) — Timneu22 · talk 00:15, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:ENTERTAINER, WP:BIO. Qworty (talk) 05:11, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Any significant coverage counts toward notability. Even if the Ottawa Citizen is the only significant coverage in the article, that would be enough on its own even if it weren't true that there's other coverage of her out there — which there most certainly is. I have her album on my hard drive, frex — and I know that "Bearcat has heard of her" isn't, in and of itself, a notability criterion, but what I'm saying is that because I depend on gold standard sources like CBC Radio and Exclaim! to hear about new musicians in the first place, a musician can't even get onto my radar without already having enough coverage in reliable sources to meet our inclusion rules. I'm not suggesting that she's notable because I've heard of her; rather, she has to be notable for it to be possible for me to have heard of her. And having won two notable awards kills any notion that she somehow fails to meet WP:ENTERTAINER, too. Keep; I'll work on getting it up to snuff. Bearcat (talk) 23:46, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Update: while certainly further improvement would still be welcome, I've expanded the article and added a number of additional sources besides the one Ottawa Citizen article. Bearcat (talk) 01:14, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Perhaps not a prominent figure, but certainly notable. CJCurrie (talk) 00:22, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:57, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Per WP:Bearcat has heard of her. (The notable awards and multiple reliable sources cited in the article don't hurt, either.) --Arxiloxos (talk) 01:06, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – Bearcat's addition of sources provides the evidence of WP:GNG notability, a.k.a. WP:MUSICBIO criterion #1. Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:53, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep – per Bearcat's addition of sources.--BabbaQ (talk) 14:34, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
