Alice Russell (singer)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

fails WP:MUSIC because the artist does not have any charting music, and the indie label upon which notability might rest relies on her and only two other artists for its notability (they cannot support each other for notability!) - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Delete as does not comply with WP:V (among others). Myspace.com and Youtube.com videos are not trusted references. If she were of any signficance to warrant an article, google would have turn up more reliable sources that weren't 'planted'. I've actually put this up for a speedy delete earlier today, but now I think AfD is more appropriate.  Amor amor (talk) 23:22, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete, fails WP:MUSIC, WP:RS, & WP:V.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 00:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong keep Very surprised to see this nominated when scrolling through the AfD list... I have her albums on my computer, so was spurred to do a bit of a hunt for references. Per the Sydney Morning Herald, she has done at least three tours of Australia, satisfying WP:MUSIC.  I'm sure she's toured in the US too, because I remember being disappointed I was out of town when the concert near me was. :) Other reliable or semi-reliable news coverage:, , , , ,  (coverage of a European tour).

 * Keep - multiple independent reliable sources as well as touring reported through the Sydney Herald meets WP:MUSIC criteria 1, and 4 for musicians. -- Whpq (talk) 16:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep Sad so see so many delete votes predicated upon bad research. Chubbles (talk) 16:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * More reliable and non-trivial sources located with a simple search through Google or Google News: The Argus The Guardian. It's a keep based on WP:N or WP:MUSIC criterion #1. Paul Erik  (talk) (contribs) 18:12, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
