December Rose

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No notability, and deceptive references. At first glance, this article looks like it refers to a notable musician - lots of reviews linked at the bottom, lots of interviews - and then you check them.

The reviews provided, while claiming to be reviews, actually aren't - if you follow them back to the source provided you'll see them all identified as press releases by the artist herself.

Then we have the interviews. 3 interviews by reliable, notable publications is certainly enough to cross the bar of notability. Unfortunately none are provided - Tribe of Noise is a community of musicians, and Rose was interviewed as a member of the group, by the group. Make A Star is a talent competition where she won, ah, $100, and was interviewed over this. The Hip Rock Magazine article link doesn't actually work, but even if it did, the magazine has only even existed for four months, and I can't see any evidence that it's a reliable or respected publication.

Outside of the provided sources, Rose has released one studio album (with six songs on it) that didn't chart, four singles (that also didn't chart), and hung around on youtube. There isn't any notability here that I can see. Ironholds (talk) 23:20, 5 March 2014 (UTC)
