Ref spammed & bombed article on a musician who doesn’t satisfy any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO & generally lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. A before search only links me to primary or unreliable sources without editorial oversight. Celestina007 15:02, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi Celestina007, I understand your reasons for deletion however I have edited the article and added additional content about her charting song and 1st place in the RBC Emerging Music Program (see edits [1] and [2], both of which combined satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Please get back to me with a re-review of the article. Thanks, --Pulisi (talk) 18:00, 13 August 2020 (UTC)

• Comment Pulisi in the edits you highlight you didn't add any sources. Could you specify what part of WP:MUSICBIO, and by which sources, is satisfied? Sam-2727 (talk) 23:44, 21 August 2020 (UTC)

Keep - As Doomsdayer520 said well, she won a music award which satisfies WP:NMUSICIAN in my opinion, although I am a relitivly new editor in terms of edit count so I'm happy to learn from those more experienced. The content which I think satisfies WP:NMUSICIAN is:

[LU] also won the grand prize at the RBC's Emerging Musician Program, which gives her $10,000 worth of studio time among other prizes.

• Weak Keep - Since this has been sitting around for three weeks, I figured I'd be a good samaritan and help wrap it up. Alas, I don't know if a "weak keep" helps much, but the singer has received some legitimate notice. In its current state the article is preposterously ref-bombed to useless promo sites and streaming services, but there are a few legitimate sources in there, particularly a write-up by Complex and some stories from the publishing arm of the Canadian Society of Composers (SOCAN), which gave her an award. I think this just barely gets her past #1 and (maybe) #9 at WP:NMUSICIAN. The article certainly needs to be cleaned up though. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 20:25, 2 September 2020 (UTC)
