WP:BLP of a musician and radio personality, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing our inclusion criteria for either musicians or radio personalities. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because it's technically verifiable that they exist -- our notability standards require certain specific quantifiable markers of accomplishment, supported by a certain specific quality of reliable source coverage about them, to establish their significance. But her notability claim as a musician is that she fronts a local band who haven't demonstrably passed our notability criteria for bands, and her notability claim as a radio host is a local show that airs only in her local market (but radio personalities have to have nationalized significance, not just host a show on one radio station in one market, to qualify for inclusion). And of the seven sources here (eight footnotes, but one of them is a duplicated repetition of one of the others), two are local coverage in her hometown alt-weekly in local interest contexts that aren't notability clinchers, two are just glancing mentions of her name in sources that aren't about her, and two are from WordPress blogs that aren't reliable or notability-making sources at all. There's only one source here (Huffington Post) that expands beyond the local, and even it doesn't say anything about her that would clinch passage of a notability criterion by itself. There's just nothing here that's "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to have much better sources than this. Bearcat (talk) 18:45, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
