Non-notable individual lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. ttonyb (talk) 15:59, 5 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete While I declined to speedy delete this article, I agree that it fails to meet the requirements of Wikipedia:Notability (music). She has produced one album, which is primarily available in MP3 format, but can be burned to a CD on demand. The only coverage of the Artist I can find with any substance is an article at helium.com[1]. The lack of coverage in reliable published sources may have to do with her fame being primarily in Kenya, but we can't tell without more coverage. -- Donald Albury 11:04, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep She has produced three CDs which I have. How about this article? [2].She is a Japanese woman who is the player of the Kenyan instrument. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yasu6-s (talk • contribs) 13:10, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Who issued the CDs? I found one "album" on Amazon that was in MP3 format for downloading, with a note that they could burn it to a CD on demand. Please read Wikipedia:Notability (music) and then explain what criteria she meets and how. -- Donald Albury 00:06, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep That's not reliable, sorry. PubSub says "Our engine can find the latest posts from blogs and social media sites such as Twitter and Friendfeed, usually within minutes of their publication and sometimes within seconds." None of those come within the scope of WP:RS. I've added three refs that I hope are a bit better, and a bit about her inspiring Suzanna Owíyo into taking up the nyatiti.

- Keep Two more articles about her. "Aspiring musician sets sights away from U.S. and on to Africa", Mainichi Daily News, 17 October 2009 and Opiyo, Dave (10 February 2007), "She Came, She Learnt And She Conquered", All Africa duffbeerforme (talk) 08:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

- Keep - I did this google news search and the second result is an AllAfrica story behind a pay wall. -- Whpq (talk) 20:46, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
