This person doesn't appear to meet any notability guidelines. Just one hit on Google news archive under her full name. Rotten regard Softnow 00:06, 5 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DeleteI couldn't find any reliable sources other than that one Google news hit. --Cerebellum (talk) 00:33, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per Gongshow. --Cerebellum (talk) 20:04, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I've rewritten the article using reliable sources. Between two Billboard reviews [1][2], a brief Allmusic review [3], two charting R&B singles [4], and music videos that received national TV play [5][6][7], I believe the subject meets WP:MUSICBIO.

- Weak keep. A couple of lowly chart placings and a small amount of online coverage, but there may be more offline since this was 15 years ago. I don't see a net benefit from deletion here. --Michig (talk) 13:45, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
