After Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nikkole albums and a related CfD debate, I feel we need to discuss the notability of the singer behind the albums. Consider this a procedural nomination. Courcelles (talk) 04:24, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I nominated the album articles for deletion and considered nominating this article also. There are reproductions of press at Nikkole's official site; most seem to be of the type that result from PR blitzes or press junkets. I tend to discount those sorts of sources since they raise questions about how independent they are from the artist and/or her label or PR firm. I lean toward delete based on the complete lack of charting for any of her music but am not going to weep bitter tears if this is retained. If kept the SPA User:Seeinc (as in S E Entertainment, Inc., Nikkole's label) needs to refrain from editing further per WP:COI and the article needs to be vetted for extraordinary claims.

Delete - but with heavy heart. I just can't find the necessary WP:RS to establish her notability under WP:MUSIC. Her Ghit count is very low - which is surprising if we take the article at face value. Eddie.willers (talk) 00:12, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable recording artist. Lack of sources and evidence it passes WP:MUSICBIO. Created by her label which is always a red flag. Christopher Connor (talk) 00:26, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
