Erika Rose

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

From what I found, the subject has been mentioned in a few media reports as being a part of musician Alicia Keys’s management/a business partner (she is reportedly a childhood friend of Keys), and received trivial mention (e.g., the one cited on the WP page) as a contributor to a 2002 Keys song. It was reported in 2016, that Keys had changed management and the subject, who was a co-manager, became her manager. Notability isn’t inherited; subject doesn’t meet notability for mentions of her association with a notable subject.

There is a review of a record she released in 2007. Apart from that, there doesn’t appear to be sufficient reliable third party coverage of the subject in detail/non-trivially or as separate from her aforementioned association to Keys.

Under the general notability guideline - (A) Does not meet WP:GNG: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list. "Significant coverage" addresses the topic directly and in detail". (B) Does not meet WP:NRV: "No subject is automatically or inherently notable merely because it exists: The evidence must show the topic has gained significant independent coverage or recognition, and that this was not a mere short-term interest, nor a result of promotional activity or indiscriminate publicity". (C) Does not meet WP:SUSTAINED: "If reliable sources cover a person only in the context of a single event, and if that person otherwise remains, or is likely to remain, a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having a biographical article on that individual."

Does not meet any of the WP:MUSICBIO criteria under Notability: Music guideline - e.g.,: "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself."

Note that the article was tagged with notability issue the day after it was created (May 11, 2009), as has since remained tagged. Moreover, the creation of the article may seem promotional as it is the only contribution from the editor who created it unsourced, and needless to say, the notability issue has since not been addressed with sources.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete getting a co-writer credit on one song just does not add to notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:16, 1 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete It barely passes WP:COMPOSER since the song she co-wrote is notable, but that section also states "Where possible, composers or lyricists with insufficient verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article should be merged into the article about their work." Since the only information about her is that she was born in 1980 and co-wrote the song, there's not much to merge.  originalmess  how u doin that busta rhyme? 01:23, 5 August 2018 (UTC)
