Heidi Joubert

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet WP:GNG, WP:MUSICBIO. Coverage is limited to non-independent sources and trivial coverage of a video of the subject busking that went viral. signed,Rosguill talk 14:30, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete as this appears to be WP:BLP1E. I'm willing to change my vote if more coverage in WP:RS can be found. feminist (talk) 04:51, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Per Feminist. I am trying to figure out what wrong-headed set of thoughts went from "see viral video" to "make wikipedia article on it". Rockphed (talk) 12:37, 4 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is not only based on video that went viral or got fame in short time, but Heidi Joubert is the one from very few people who speacialises in Cajón and this instrument is really important to introduce on Wikipedia and one's who play Cajón. She is also a Tedx speaker and also got mention in main article written on Cajón instrument. I've added some more references to the article and I think this should be remain on Wikipedia. dharampalsingh 06:08, 6 October 2019 (UTC)
 * TEDx conferences are independent from TED and the speakers are not paid, so I don't find the argument that they are an indicator of notability to be particularly persuasive. As for her relevance to Cajón, our article on Cajón doesn't mention her at all except to use her photo (it's a good photo, but that's not really an indicator of notability). If you can find an academic source saying that Joubert is particularly important to the Cajón musical tradition, I would be persuaded otherwise. signed,Rosguill talk 15:59, 6 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep The deletion is a last resort. In the case of the present article, its only the notability that has been doubted. The subject herself has not requested deletion or objected. The content is not visibly negative or tarnishing. Nothing therein demands the urgency to delete. Keeping the article will let the door open for further editing by more reliable resources and references. It may rather be suitably flagged for further editing and the relatively unreliable references. Comkanwal (talk) 10:35, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Not meeting notability guidelines is a reason for deletion, per WP:DEL-REASON #8. We do not generally take down articles at the subjects' request, and such deletions constitute a vanishingly small proportion of deleted articles. signed,Rosguill talk 18:56, 7 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. Being a TEDx speaker doesn't make someone notable. Being the subject of a single viral video does not make someone notable. And it being important to introduce an instrument to Wikipedia definitely doesn't make someone notable. Significant coverage in multiple, independent, reliable sources is what makes people notable and that is lacking here. Hugsyrup 09:58, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
