This singer does not appear notable, though she is a member of a notable band, I cannot find any reliable sources confirming her notability in her own right. Recommend delete and redirect to Leaves' Eyes astro (talk) 12:33, 20 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Although it could be borderline in terms of notability my preference would be to keep this as a separate page. This is based on
 * She has just joined one of the large bands in this genre (I believe the first show was to many thousands in Indonesia) - there will be interest in her background and I think that would not be the focus on the main Leaves' Eyes page but it provides a resource for readers to discover more.
 * She is a member of EnkElination and although the do not currently meet the guidelines of a notable band they have been featured more then once (live review with picture) in UK magazine Power Play that is widely available in large newsagents. The band has also headlined UK venues including the Camden Underworld and Barfly, they have appeared at festivals and supported larger acts including Leaves Eyes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Willzuk (talk • contribs) 17:09, 21 April 2016 (UTC)
 * That may be true; however, there are hundreds of non-notable bands which may have a mention in some magazine, and thousands of individual artists who have appeared at festivals and supported more notable artists. It seems that she is not notable at this moment but there is a chance she will become notable a few years down the line; as Wikipedia does not have to be complete now, an article can be created for her then. astro (talk) 13:39, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Her new band Leaves' Eyes is the headliner on the saturday night on the MFVF festival in Belgium. I joined the discussion because I wanted to find out who she is: Metal_Female_Voices_Fest — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xzt8h7 (talk • contribs) 18:41, 26 April 2016 (UTC)  — Xzt8h7 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete and Redirect to the band as I found nothing better at all and this is still certainly questionable. SwisterTwister   talk  22:54, 22 April 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 17:09, 4 May 2016 (UTC) My preference would be to keep the article. Yes, a notability line needs to be drawn somewhere, and she's arguably pretty close to falling either side of that line (in her own right, at least). But people will look for information about her on Wikipedia due to her being the frontwoman in a notable band, and I'd suggest giving her the benefit of the doubt and keep the article. She has had plenty of media coverage in her own right before joining Leaves' Eyes, although whether that coverage is in sources that meet Wikipedia's somewhat vague reliability guidelines is less clear. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thargol (talk • contribs) 10:25, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
