- Strong Keep Tough to find many independent references in English, but she is under the production company for several clearly notable Korean entertainers charting in Korea and Japan. WP:MUSICBIO suggests that being the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself should convey notability on an entertainer. Also performing music for a work of media that is notable (MBC Music bank, SBS Inkigayo etc) also convey notability on an entertainer. There are enough google hits in english to show her group exists and our friends at Korean Wikipedia deem the topic [notable] so I say keep. SmileBlueJay97 talk 13:45, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Delete I think her group is not notable, they've just debuted on August 1, 2014, so we can't make Wikipages about her and her group yet. I think we must wait to her group achieves some awards, or at least has songs rank on music charts. Sincerely. Ke ac lam viec tot (talk) 16:18, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Comment (In response to user Ke ac lam viec tot) Groups DO NOT need awards to convey its notability. If entertainers need awards and achievements then Got7, Spica, 15&, Tasty, GP Basic, Topp Dogg, C-Clown etc. should all be deleted. Groups like Winner and Seventeen haven't even DEBUTED yet, yet they both have a page. You are right. Wikipedia is not a fansite. This page is written in neutral point of view and meets multiple criteria under WP:MUSICBIO so the notability of the group is established. SmileBlueJay97 talk 17:24, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Keep She's an SMer, so she certainly will be notable before long. We'll delete the article and then recreate it when the band charts? Yes, I know what the guideline says. But there is no point in churning. Here's an English-language article on the band's debut which mentions her prominently:[1] She has also gotten individual coverage in the Korean-language press: [2]. The results on Naver just go on and on, so there is plenty more where that came from. The Satanic Sheik (talk) 18:53, 3 August 2014 (UTC)
- Note for the closing Admin Careful with the repeated-voting user. Same course of action and style with TaylorC in "group" articles. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 15:18, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- Question for Why should I have a username?
- Are you insinuating that I'm posing as multiple people on these deletion pages? Because I assure you I'm not.
- I'm sure Admins can check my IP address and location. (: TaylorC (talk) 17:02, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
- Keep Now that the notability of her OST has been sourced, I support the inclusion of this article.
Delete agree with TOO SOON. She is as yet known only for her participation in the group and SMROOKIES. Her performances on those shows was also part of a group. I do not believe she yet deserves a standalone page. Neither was her solo discography notable. It's just too early. Also a lot of material on Naver are puff piecesAsdklf; (talk) 02:27, 5 August 2014 (UTC)Asdklf; - A Very Strong Keep - She released a single before she debuted in Red Velvet and that single also charted on Gaon Chart. This actually fills up the musician notability criteria. Open WP:MUSBIO and read "2. Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart."... She is notable enough according to notability guidelines of Wikipedia. FudgeFury(talk|sign|contribs) 12:22, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
