Delete. WP:TOOSOON trio of advertorially toned articles about a musician and her two bands, none of which have a strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC or good enough reliable sourcing to clear WP:GNG as of yet. Kraft's BLP is referenced to just two pieces of purely local media coverage, and both of the bands are referenced to a mix of their own self-published web presences, other primary sources that cannot assist notability, and more purely local coverage. And the one source in any of the three articles that looks more solid, The New York Times, appears to be here to deceive people into going "oh, ok, there's an NYT cite" and not looking more carefully -- because not only does it fail to verify even one of the facts cited to it, but it completely neglects to even mention any of Kraft, Whippoorwill or The Patti Fiasco at all. As always, Wikipedia is not a free public relations venue for emerging bands who are hoping to make it big; making it big comes first and then the Wikipedia article follows, not vice versa.

 * Delete. Definitely WP:TOOSOON. Fails WP:GNG. SW3 5DL (talk) 23:36, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Beyond the sources in the article, google seemed to only show blog mentions and the youtube videos. The article about her leaving the basketball team is routine coverage that adds nothing towards GNG. The other article is a local interest story in a specialized local paper that is unlikely to add toward GNG, but even if it does, one article in one paper is not enough to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 04:56, 17 March 2017 (UTC)
