This article subject is not notable. She is still early in her singing endeavors. She has not surpassed the threshold of notability and fails WP:GNG. She may have sang a song that briefly charted but that makes the song notable not her. Notability is not inferred to one by a song or book for Fodor example. She fails WP:GNG because she herself has not received significant coverage coverage over numerous [WP:RS]]. Unreliable sourcing has been rampant in the article to include no logs, Twitter, YouTube, and also almost half of the citations are only interviews from from unreliable sources. It is just WP:TOOSOON WordSeventeen (talk) 04:01, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - significant coverage indicated by the given sources. Previous AfD on this article confirmed notability, and it is not temporary. Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 17:16, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - As per all previously listed reasons and because of your WP:IDHT of so many policies including WP:MUSBIO instead of the general notability guideline. SanctuaryX (talk) 21:54, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment WordSeventeen? Articles for deletion/Allie X had 11 keep arguments, and the only delete argument was the nominator. (Er: you.) So it wasn't close. Is there a reason that you think she became less notable since that nomination? Has it been revealed that half the sources on her page were actually written by her brother-in-law? Have Wikipedia policies or guidelines become noticeably stricter since that time? Has she written a letter or had an interview since that time in which she asks that her article be removed? In short, what's the reason you think this nomination will fare any differently than the last one? --GRuban (talk) 23:05, 19 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete This article subject fails the notability test because she herself is not notable since she does not have significant coverage across numerous WP:RS that wikipedia considers reliable. see: WP:VERIFIABLE So she fails WP:GNG. Perhaps a single song that charted may be notable, but notability is not conferred on her, sort of like a child does not inherit notability from a parent. Also almost half of the sources presently in the article are from "interviews" connected with unreliable sources such as online companies that do not provide editoral oversight. Combining unreliable sources with WP:INTERVIEWSs taken by non-oversighted companies makes the sourcing dubious at best.  Zpeopleheart (talk) 00:03, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - there was a 'snow keep' at the last afd and this person seems clearly notable. Some of the sources might be shaky, but that is a different matter. She gets a non-trivial mention in the quality UK press, namely the Guardian. Oculi (talk) 00:57, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep. Enough coverage on Google News to fill up a decent article, including  from Variety,  from CBC.ca,  from The Oakland Press,  from Vice, etc. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:15, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:MUSICBIO and NinjaRobotPirate's sources. clpo13(talk) 19:48, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep as she might be an emerging artist but she is considered notable according to references like CBC News, Billboard and Variety, to name a few. Janbryan (talk) 23:16, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep - The article has 13 references, at least some of which are to reliable sources. One of her singles is reliably sourced to having a chart number, which makes it notable in itself.  If her single is notable, then why does the submitter keep insisting that she is not notable?  Robert McClenon (talk) 00:20, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:MUSBIO #2 by having a top 100 Billboard hit. (edit: I just checked AfD #1 to see I !voted on exactly the same criteria. Plus ca change)Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  16:03, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
