Fails WP:ARTIST and WP:ANYBIO. Mentioned in a number of news reports but in passing and not as the subject of the article. Other articles are promotional or are interviews with Zarra. Overall the article is very promotional with a lot of detail that is superfluous to an encylopedic article. -- HighKing⁺⁺ 13:48, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Some of the sources found by the news search linked above have Zarra and her music as their subject such as this one in Jazz Times and this on a French news site that appears reliable. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 18:30, 28 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep In addition to those sources found by 86, the lowest hanging fruit is that she's had profiles in Albuquerque Journal and the Newark Star-Ledger. 14 cites in Lexis, 70 in Newsbank. Many are pedestrian, but these profiles seem to clear the bar. (Note: I don't think there's a good case for a merge with Mycale (vocal ensemble). But I did consider it and think independent articles of the musicians involved in Mycale is probably best with their eclectic productions).
