Andra Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Too soon, basically; created direct to article space (by account that never did anything else) rather than going via AFC, sourced to subject's own Facebook page and interviews - and those describe her as "up and coming". When the album's out perhaps it will be notable (or perhaps Day will vanish into obscurity). Pinkbeast (talk) 16:47, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment. She does appear to be signed to a major label (Warner Bros.), but I'm not seeing much significant coverage in reliable sources for this person: a Rolling Stone interview and a paragraph in Billboard are the best I could find.  Gong   show  03:48, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment. Some people signed to major labels are never heard from again; WP:MUSICBIO says "two albums from a major label", presumably to avoid this issue. Pinkbeast (talk) 10:06, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Yep - being signed, on its own, does not make one notable for our purposes, which is where the coverage comes in. She seems to be (as Billboard would put it) "bubbling under" in that regard, as well.  Gong   show  18:43, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
