 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   no consensus. There have been a number of arguments provided in the discussion, many of which refer to the subject's meeting of WP:GNG. There are a number of reliable, secondary sources and WP:CREATIVE provided in this debate, although some believe it is still not significant enough for a Wikipedia article, but most of the consensus is leading towards keep regardless and, in my opinion, relisting the page again would not be useful, and it already has been enough times.

Lacks significant biographical coverage in reliable 3rd party sources. Known only for a drinking game. RadioFan (talk) 16:47, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Leaning towards delete - It seems she has become more known for the drinking game rather than an actual music career. She has gained a good amount of attention since creating the game with a New York Post article here and other links here, here, here and here. Not that this would make her notable but I found a Carnegie Mellon University news article here in which she offered free paintings while she was attending. Although she has received a lot attention including from publications such the Pittsburgh Magazine and New York Post, I feel this isn't significant enough for the article (for the game, probably) but there hasn't been much attention for her music career. I have no prejudice towards a future article. SwisterTwister   talk  23:39, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - It doesn't really matter if her music career is notable, just that she is notable herself. The Wired, Pittsburgh Magazine, and New York Post articles seem to be good examples of reliable 3rd party sources.--PatrickD (talk) 18:13, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Update (still a Keep) - She has since won her legal battle and defeated the trademark on "Power Hour". This is getting quite a bit of news coverage here, here, and here.--PatrickD (talk) 21:02, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Not the most important topic, but she's got multiple press reports about the drinking game, not all of which is about the one event of her being sued over it - some is simply coverage of the music and game. She's notable per WP:CREATIVE (for Power Hour) and WP:GNG. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:23, 15 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete. Marginally notable at best. All of her music is released on her own dime. She's not even on a minor label. Kingturtle = (talk) 01:39, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep. Just because she's not a notable musician does not mean she isn't notable. She is definitely notable for the "Power hour" controversy. Louis C. (talk) 18:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Then at most her name should redirect to the Power hour article. Kingturtle = (talk) 21:19, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. No, she did not invent Power hour but she has not only made a product around it, she has won a courtcase about it..  She may not be signed to a major label, but a LOT of artists aren't and many have entries.  She's noted enough to have her discography on MTV (where her music has been featured in shows such as Real World) .  She's also had music featured on Bad Girls Club on Oxygen .  Between the lawsuit, her game, and her music, she's notable.Birobot (talk) 04:13, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete Little to no biographical coverage of this person who apparently garnered her 15 minutes of fame for self-producing a novelty record based around a pre-existing drinking game (and, in case it's unclear to anyone, she didn't invent Power hour). There's probably a better argument in favor of an article on her Power Hour album, given that that's what's driven the coverage. Absolutely no prejudice against a future article if she ever produces something else of note, because at that point there will likely be sourcing that covers her from a career perspective, and not from the "look at this funny thing this one person did one time" perspective that marks current sourcing. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡ  bomb  19:32, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
