 * Keep. Horrible article. Good singer. A google on "Edna Gallmon Cooke" clearly shows right away that she's (reasonably) famous and notable. Article needs about 12 tags, though. It's not a copyvio, however, as near a quick scan shows me. Keep! And tag. And improve. Herostratus (talk) 03:38, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I searched Google as well and I can't find much info about her other than the external link in the article. She does show up on billboard.com, but there it says she never charted. Erpert (let's talk about it) 06:49, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. Has an entry in a print encyclopedia from a major academic publisher, which, incidentally, is significantly longer than the following entry for the ultra-notable Sam Cooke. I don't understand how those commenting above managed to miss that, as it is the second of the 81 book sources that can be found by clicking on the spoon-fed links at the top of this discussion.

 * Keep If she's notable enough for a print encyclopedia, she's notable enough for Wikipedia. Edward321 (talk) 23:18, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
