Coles Whalen

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Deprodded with "sources" that are just WP:ROUTINE coverage of her concerts. I found no substantial coverage, just "Coles Whalen will be in concert at X" and a couple blog sources that are on the fence at best. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:03, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. This seems very borderline re. notability. There are a few sources that are arguably significant coverage such as the Out Front article cited, This from the Park Record, a shortish Allmusic bio, and this appears to be a newspaper article about the singer. There are also examples more routine coverage such as Des Moines Register, Broadcast Newsroom, and Southeast Missourian. --Michig (talk) 16:52, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. My view is similar to Michig's.  While no one of these sources is extremely strong, I am swayed by the fact that there is coverage in multiple sources from different regions as well as a brief, but substantive, AllMusic bio. --Arxiloxos (talk) 02:35, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
