A rapper. Has not released any albums. Has released some free mixtapes. Only one given reference maybe independent, reliable and actual goes in depth about her. Unable to find any other references, but her name makes it difficult to search. Prod was contested Bgwhite (talk) 18:27, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. As of this revision (right when you nominated it for deletion) there were 4 different references, three of which look reliable to me. One is even a feature article. I'd say that makes her pass WP:GNG. De728631 (talk) 18:34, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment You need to read the references. One of the "reliable" references says she showed up to a movie. Another one is an interview and another one is a tour date. Trivial refs do not count towards WP:GNG as it requires "Significant coverage". Bgwhite (talk) 19:29, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you, I have read the references – otherwise I wouldn't have commented on them. The interview is actually the one I won't consider reliable as it appears to be too bloggish. For the rest of the sources, you too may want to look at WP:GNG which says that "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material". The current references together add up to a certain of level of notability, hence my intention of keeping the article. De728631 (talk) 00:16, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep The Vibe source is fine. interviews constitute significant coverage. XXL review, hiphopdx feature. 86.44.39.133 (talk) 04:22, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The new citations from XXL magazine regarding features from her latest project "For Everything" combined with the aforementioned reputable reference sources amount to considerable coverage, thus the article needs to stay. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ticallion89 (talk • contribs) 05:51, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
