Deva Mahal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

WP:BLP of a musician, whose only stated or sourced indication of notability is that her debut album came out eight days ago. As always, a musician is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article the moment it's possible to provide cursory verification that she exists: she has to pass an NMUSIC criterion for an article to become earned, but nothing stated or sourced here does so yet. No prejudice against recreation in the future if and when she has a stronger notability claim and more sourcing for it, but as of right now it's still WP:TOOSOON.

Hannahmegmarx (talk) 20:53, 11 April 2018 (UTC)*Keep per WP:GNG based on a Google News search with a pages of international news sources - not just related to her 2018 debut album. Hmlarson (talk) 07:55, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
 * And supporting what notability criterion in NMUSIC? I see lots of glancing namechecks of her existence, but (a) not enough sources that are substantively enough about her to count toward passing NMUSIC #1, and (b) zero sources that verify anything about her that would get her over any of NMUSIC #2 through #12.

 * Delete - notability is not inherited from one's parents. Maybe too soon.--Rpclod (talk) 18:18, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:GNG additional Google News results with international news sources and additional references added to page as artist in own right, beyond relationship with father.Hannahmegmarx (talk) 20:53, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep on the basis that artist has received coverage in The New York Times, The Guardian, PopMatters, Elmore Magazine, Parade, Exclaim!, and Relix. Artist has also performed internationally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marisnyhart (talk • contribs) 22:52, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep easily passes the General Notability Guideline with articles such as this one from The Guardian. Trout slap for nom. FloridaArmy (talk) 03:17, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
