Singer who doesn't appear to meet our notability guidelines. Most of the sources cited are either not independent, not reliable, or only provide mentions, not significant coverage. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:58, 3 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article is about a vocalist and not a singer. There is a difference. 199.189.26.28 (talk) 16:19, 9 August 2017 (UTC) — 199.189.26.28 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Delete When you are most notable for singing the national anthem before a professional sporting event (possibly on only one occasion for a pro-competition) you are just not notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:51, 7 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - if it could be better sourced. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 8 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Surely the argument that a topic is notable if more sources could be found applies to all articles on non-notable topics, Bearian? The question is whether such sources exist, and my argument here is that they don't. Cordless Larry (talk) 05:59, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete zero evidence of any possible significance. Singing the anthem at a sports game is not enough to make a notable performer. Had I seen this on new page patrol, I would have listed it for speedy deletion DGG ( talk ) 10:40, 10 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
