Rhian Morrissi[edit]

Query if notable under WP:MUSICBIO; 82,000 hits on Google, but many seem to reference or copy the Wikipeda entry. Edit history suggests that there may previously have been a nomination for deletion on March 8 2008, but I don't see it considered in the archives for March 7-10 2008.

Comment: 82,000? Google is showing up only 111 hits, but you are right many of them appear to be wikipedia mirros and blog entries. JamesBurns (talk) 02:12, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting. I get about 1,260 for "Rhian Morrissi" and about 81,000 omitting the quotation marks.Simon Dodd (talk) 02:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wonder why there is such a huge gap in results. I've tried it with the quotation marks and without - all around 111 hits. JamesBurns (talk) 06:50, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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

Delete Ms Morrissi's nationality is Welsh so one might expect to find significant coverage of her using Google if we restrict our search to the UK. Unfortunately, there are only five hits when I do this[1] and nothing useful. Google News throws up one hit from which we learn that she performed at a charity fund-raising function at which attendees enjoyed a six-course meal[2] and police officers donated their services to take photographs of guests arriving[3]. Googling using her full name, "Rhian Louise Morrissi" throws up to hits to the BBC website[4]; although my Welsh is not good(!), both of these links refer to the same event, the Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru, and have the appearance of only mentioning her (and others) in passing, that is, the significant coverage here is about the Eisteddfod and not her. Searches through the major UK broadsheets, the Independent, The Times, The Guardian and the Daily Telegraph, yields nothing nor do searches through a selection of Welsh papers[5][6][7][8]. Regretfully, delete on the basic that there exists no significant coverage of Ms Morrissi in reliable sources independent of the subject per WP:N. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:07, 27 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
