 * Comment: the article creator has posted this message on the talk page of this AfD: "I'd like to recommend against deletion of Ms. Welling's page. She is an up and coming artist who is making inroads in the Nashville scene and was scheduled to tour with Delta Rae prior to the COVID 19 outbreak. I have made some changes to the page in an attempt to make it compliant with at least one of the rules for performers. If at all possible I'd like for Wiki to show some leeway if at all possible." I pointed out to the article creator on their talk page that being an opening act for Delta Rae, even if the tour had gone ahead, does not make Ms. Welling automatically notable.

 * Comment: The user referenced above is not the article creator. bellminer (talk) 03:50, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: The subject of the article meets the criterion for notability as per WP:MUSICBIO: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself." This includes American Songwriter, CBS New York, and an article that is currently a Forbes Editor's Pick. I believe the way forward is to improve, not delete. cc: WikiProject Women, WikiProject Musicians. bellminer (talk) 03:50, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete Not an outright delete because the American Songwriter article is solid and with just one more of that type it would elevate this out of a TOOSOON designation. The rest of the sources, though, are...meh. CBS New York is about her former band so its good info for this article but not great to prove individual notability. Forbes article isn't about her. ION Indie is essentially a promotional platform. Edible Nashville and Now Playing Nashville are, in all due respect, minor and insignificant. Otherwise, I could find no other evidence of coverage.
