Strike one against this is that it's an autobiography - not automatically disqualifying, of course, but still a red flag. Strike two, which is fatal to the article, is the lack of independent in-depth coverage, or anything suggesting the subject meets WP:NMUSIC. We have a bunch of sale pages ; some cruft ; ); a couple of self-published reviews and a pair of puff pieces that appeared in the same newspaper a week apart, largely duplicating their content. Nothing here really indicates a notable musician, and the general scarcity of attention the subject has garnered in impartial sources means we too should not have an article about her. - Biruitorul Talk 14:12, 24 March 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Wikipedia is not a platform for people to advance their personal brand, but a place to cover people who have actually received indepdent source coverage. We have nothing more than sale sites and PR puff here. The article makes claims about wide recognition for the subject which would require actual indepdent sources to verify.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:08, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
