Fails WP:BAND. Very promotional in tone. Only sources are primary (twitter, facebook, etc.) or promotional. No reliable secondary sources found. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 20:48, 24 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks coverage in independent reliable sources, albums on own label. duffbeerforme (talk) 06:35, 30 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - Many of these sources are event listings, the artist's twitter account, a listing of her music, and two wix.com addreses which seems to be a website builder. So those sources are not definitively independent. What's left is one decent biographical source from EvidentOfficial and one from theSOP. TheSOP's about page reads as follows:

For over 6 years, theSOP has been a cutting edge news organization with the goal to provide novice writers, student journalists, amateur broadcasters and unpublished authors the opportunity to showcase their talents while practicing ethical journalism and broadcasting in a professional environment that mirrors all major media outlets.

I'm not very thrilled with the scope or quality of this source, considering it is a student publication, so I'm not counting it for very much. That leaves only one decent source, and that's not really enough to cover WP:MUSICBIO. I, Jethrobot ^{drop me a line} (note: not a bot!) 04:37, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Doesn't leave any decent sources, EvidentOfficial shows no signs of being a reliable source. duffbeerforme (talk) 13:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per lack of notable mentions, none of which were found on both Google and Yahoo! aside from social networking sites and a YouTube video. SwisterTwister talk 05:22, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
