Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The attempted notability claim here is two "hit" singles not supported by any verifiable evidence that either song ever actually charted on any IFPI-certified charts — but since music promoters have a tendency to indiscriminately ascribe "hit" status to any song that an artist wants to highlight in their PR kit, we can't just take the word "hit" as a notability lock in and of itself without proper sourcing for it. But otherwise, this is strictly on the level of "she is a musician who exists", and is supported solely by a single deadlinked article on Digital Journal, a user-generated "citizen journalism" platform where anybody can submit any self-created public relations "news" they want to, which thus doesn't count as GNG-building coverage — and even if we ignored all that and accepted it anyway, it would still take more than just one source to pass GNG regardless.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable without much better sourcing for it than this. Bearcat (talk) 15:39, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
