Aretha Henry

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

See also Enchanted (Aretha Henry album) and Beautiful (Aretha Henry album). Fails WP:MUSICBIO. The second album to chart was on an Amazon.com chart, while all other positions are on charts for a seemingly non-notable music pool. Edited by a SPA who created the album articles and likely has a COI, though most of those contributions have been removed, except possibly the references. Now turning to the sources: According to a Google search, it may fail WP:GNG. – Laundry Pizza 03  ( d c&#x0304; ) 12:32, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - As noted by LaundryPizza, see also the two album AfD's (not bundled together because they were nominated by different people). LaundryPizza has a fine analysis of the sources used in the singer's article; all are run of the mill song listings or self-generated promotional items, and the charts are of suspicious validity. Over at one of the album discussions, Richard3120 did a search and found this newspaper piece:, and I have been unable to find anything else. Good luck to the singer but she is in pure self-promotional mode right now. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 20:55, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - Like mentioned above, lack of WP:RS and possible WP:COI. – Broccoli &#38; Coffee (Oh hai) 21:49, 12 June 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. I wish Ms Henry the best in her music career, but to date the article from her local newspaper (linked by Doomsdayer520 above) seems to be the only substantial independent source available. Richard3120 (talk) 16:28, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete for failing WP:NMUSICBIO. Good promotional work, folks, but what can you do: These AfDonauts are something else. -The Gnome (talk) 16:40, 16 June 2018 (UTC)
