Advertorially toned WP:AUTOBIO of a musician, completely unreferenced to any evidence of reliable source coverage about her (the only "references" present at all here, until I stripped them, were WP:ELNO violating links, sitting right in body text, to primary sources like her own "buy my albums" store on her own self-published website.) Since I'm not the expert in where to dig up British media coverage, I'm willing to withdraw this if an editor in the UK contingent can track down enough valid sources to salvage it -- but this has been flagged as unreferenced for 4.5 years without ever having a single valid reference added to it, so it's not entitled to stick around in perpetuity in this form if nobody's prepared to fix it.

Delete. If it wasn't so old, I'd suggest draftifying but there seems no point as the creator is not likely to make any improvements. Deb (talk) 18:13, 2 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've done a WP:BEFORE search, and all I can find are unreliable blog posts and very trivial mentions. Fails WP:BIO, and WP:NOTPROMO probably applies as well.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 02:24, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, note that draftifying should only be done if the topic is not yet shown to be notable but it is actually notable due to sources which exist, but are not in the article yet. In cases where a WP:BEFORE search doesn't show notability, it should be deleted as normal; there's not much point sending non-notable topics to be worked on in draftspace.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 02:26, 5 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
