Keep, as she appears to pass MUSICBIO #2 (duet reached #31 in Australia) and maybe #12 (appeared on Australia's The Voice). She has been covered in multiple sources, and given her family and tv appearance I'm sure more could be found. Nolelover ^Talk^·^Contribs 02:24, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tin Lids on the basis that "members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles" and that she has no notable solo releases. WWGB (talk) 03:43, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seriuosly? Member of a notable band who has got much press independent of that band. Her album VOLUME 1 by Mahalia Barnes and The Soul Mates has been reviewed in major mainstream publications. Stewart, Paul (6 July 2008), "VOLUME 1 review", Sunday Herald Sun -- Apter, Jeff (4 July 2008), "CD Reviews", The Sydney Morning Herald -- "CD REVIEWS", Sunday Telegraph, 22 June 2008 -- Moran, Jonathon (22 June 2008), "CD reviews With Jonathon Moran", The Sunday Mail. She has recieved much coverage about her that has nothing to do with Tin Lids or The Voice, a small sample -- Gregory, Helen (11 November 2010), "Life's soundtrack singer", The Newcastle Herald -- "A double Barnes performance", Sunshine Coast Daily, 27 June 2008 -- Stewart, Paul (22 June 2008), "Soul sisters connect", The Sunday Mail -- Mickan, Kate (22 June 2008), "Mates inspire Mahalia's Soul", Sunday Mail -- Donovan, Patrick (22 June 2008), "Keeping it in the family", The Age. There is much more out there. Clearly notable. duffbeerforme (talk) 14:25, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
