Does not satisfy musical notability. No references. Google search finds only the usual vanity hits. Robert McClenon (talk) 04:22, 8 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The article (not created by me) was very much a stub when initially nominated, but the proper action for a notable subject is cleanup and expansion, not deletion. The article needs to be renamed to "Ruelle (singer)" and expanded, but she is definitely notable from her widespread presence in television and film: she is the singer of not just incidental music, but the main/opening theme songs for both Shadowhunters ("This Is the Hunt") and The Shannara Chronicles ("Until We Go Down"). Beyond those main opening titles, her songs have also been featured in numerous primetime television series [1] on multiple networks, including Dancing with the Stars, How to Get Away with Murder, Pretty Little Liars, Quantico, Revenge, Scream, Teen Wolf, The Vampire Diaries, The Walking Dead, and many more. On film, she is featured on both the trailer [2] and the soundtrack [3] for The Loft. That widespread use of her music more than satisfies criteria #10 on WP:NMUSIC. Furthermore, she has collaborated with other notable musical groups, for instance, providing the vocals on the Ki:Theory song "Bringing Me Down" [4] [5] [6]. She has been a requested article for over a year, since March 2016 [7]. As for independent, third-party coverage, she has been interviewed by Culture Collide [8], the Society Cynic [9], and Young Entertainment magazine [10]. She is the subject of an AllMusic profile [11] and of articles by Bookstacked [12], Beyond the Stage magazine [13], Freeform [14], and MTV [15]. Finally, her song "I Get to Love You" reached #15 on the Billboard Spotify Viral 50 chart [16]. —Lowellian (reply) 05:25, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Update: I can certainly understand why the article was initially nominated for deletion, given its poor state at that time. Now, I'm not the original creator of the article, but I've greatly expanded it from that state and added references, and I believe in its newer, current, expanded state, the notability of the subject has been established, and that this article is a clear keep. —Lowellian (reply) 23:32, 9 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I was the original creator, and yes the original article I put up was poor and I had planned to go back to it, but it slipped the mind. Good to see the article has been expanded and that the notability has been recognised as it should as Lowellian has mentioned with her work on television shows.— Chriscore (talk) 23:02, 15 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
