Aleksandra fails WP:NMUSIC, WP:GNG and WP:BIO, as there is lack of reliable significant coverage from reliable sources (no awards, charting, won competitions to help her). Massive amount of WP:OR about her biography in the article, tagged for issues for 8 years now, the article linked as reference is a short mention and it is citing what she said. Nothing much to find in my searches. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 15:56, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I think subject passes WP:MUSIC. Article just needs to be cleaned up & citations added. Skirts89 (talk) 17:27, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment You think? Which citations to add (when they don't exist), on which grounds do you think she passes the criteria? I have to say I am surprised at how shallow this vote is considering how I see that you are experienced in AfDs. Jovanmilic97 (talk) 17:57, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - For someone who has been in music for such a long time, she has received almost no independent media coverage, even in her country's language. I suspected that maybe a search went wrong because coverage could be under her native-born name Александра Пилева, but even when searching for that name I found almost nothing beyond the usual retail/streaming sites. Note how often the article uses "most popular" and "very popular" etc. with nothing to back it up. So the article boils down to an attempt at promotion. Also note that she has an album article at Sonce i Mesečina that can probably be speedy-deleted if this artist article is deleted. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 19:04, 27 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
