 * Delete . Unable to establish notability per WP:MUSIC. Of the few articles available that I tried to read through translation, none talk in any way about the singer herself. Leave  Sleaves  20:00, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This book published by the Cambridge University Press says that she won European contests. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:52, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you please elaborate on which contests were won? Leave  Sleaves  21:58, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, because this source doesn't say, but it's pretty clear from the context that the subject is regarded as a significant figure in Yugoslav pop music of the 1970s, and so is a strong indication that other sources exist. Do you expect sources for subjects from this place and time to be readily available in English at the click of a mouse? If you don't accept that as notability then here's a list of her album releases, clearly passing WP:MUSIC criterion 5, bearing in mind that independent labels didn't exist under communism.

 * You should always present a more clearer argument like that. Leave  Sleaves  01:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep per Phil Bridger. Leave  Sleaves  01:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
