Arrica Rose

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Conspicuously non-notable performer. The article offers claims that are not confirmed by a Google search (coverage on something called "International Business Times" is strictly a vanity press release). Fails WP:BIO, WP:RS and WP:V. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:01, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. While there is the possibility of passing WP:MUSIC, all the "reliable independent sources" are a reprint of her own press release, which is not allowed under WP:MUSIC#C1. If any one can find anything else, let me know, I'll be happy to change.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 14:35, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

 * KEEP. Not HUGELY noteable, but noteable none the less. Proxy User (talk) 19:01, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If I may ask, how is Ms. Rose notable? As I read the article -- with its redlinked "2nd release" (and no mention of a first release), insistence of iTunes chart topping (with no evidence to prove it), claims of media coverage (sans the actual links to the coverage) and assertion of having a song sampled on a U.S. TV show (a claim based solely in Ms. Rose's press releases) -- I felt there was no reasonable indication of why Ms. Rose might be notable. The article was originally up for Speedy Delete and its creator blanked the page after the A7 tag was placed, which suggests a bit of "uh oh, the gig is up" (another editor restored the text and the admin who declined the Speedy Delete has acknowledged on my Talk Page that Ms. Rose's notability is dubious, at best).

 * She charted on iTunes and was featured in Paste Magazine, BABY! That's "notable". Proxy User (talk) 17:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Baby? Oh, Proxy...I didn't know you cared. :) All seriousness aside, the article has no confirmable references from independent and respected media to confirm those assertions.  There are plenty of press releases online from Ms. Rose, but I don't see any links that would meet WP:RS.  (Baby?) Ecoleetage (talk) 18:54, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
