- Keep. I added some references that I found using Google News searching on her birth name rather than her stage name. Probably passes WP:GNG now. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 06:09, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- There are several WP:BLPSPS (interviews where the subject talks about herself), scant promotional-looking mentions, and the artist talking about a different topic of coverage on NPR. The in-depth coverage is not multiple or from sources getting information independently from the subject. See WP:LOTSOFSOURCES. JFHJr (㊟) 06:20, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep. The artist has been profiled by The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Billboard and KQED — so both local and national press. She’s been asked to play at major music festivals (some of which were canceled because of COVID) and had Barack Obama recommend a song on his summer playlist.
- It was surprising, quite honestly, that she didn’t have a Wikipedia page when we looked for her, which is why I created a stub bio before dinner so others could add to it (thank you for those who did(. Jenny8lee (talk) 07:56, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep as per User:Eastmain. --MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE IS REAL EMO!(talk or whatever) 10:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
- Weak keep I can't access the NY Times (paywalled). NPR is an interview, Billboard is a small amount of coverage. [1] works as a food reviewer for a San Francisco paper and has some bio info. Oaktree b (talk) 13:13, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
