Notability[edit]

Despite being a household name among Latin speakers there seems to little background information on her in English, that is available online. However there might be more in Spanish.

These aren't great sources for proving notability - one is a bog, and the other are about events. Are there newspaper articles, magazine articles, or books published about her?--CaroleHenson (talk) 21:07, 12 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually while those do not really qualify as sources (notice the possible attribute), they nevertheless do clearly suggest notability at this point.--Kmhkmh (talk) 14:55, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

According to linked articles, she had a number one single (I Know (You Don't Love Me No More)) on the Billboard Latin charts in 1988, and the number 9 Latin song ("Tu Dama de Hierro") for all of 1987. She then also had a number 1 Latin album in 2009, and she was nominated for a Latin Billboard Music Award in 2010. Accordingly, she almost certainly qualifies under WP:MUSIC, and I have no doubt that there are good sources our there, though they may be in Spanish.--Mojo Hand (talk) 16:33, 13 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]
