 * Keep The criteria of WP:NMUSIC are not geared up for a classical soloist who first played at the Proms in 1972, but the recordings and reviews listed here and here seem to show clear notability, NMUSIC#5. Pam  D  08:45, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Her recordings are on ASV Records and Avie Records. Pam  D  08:53, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Note that the "previously deleted" refers to a deletion in 2007 on grounds of Copyright. Pam  D  09:11, 29 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep (as creator) "Previously deleted article" not a reason, as it wad deleted due to copyright issues. We can say she meets WP:NMUSIC under point 7 (Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city.) and 12 (Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or television network.)

 * Keep clearly meets the 5th criteria of NMUSIC and also passes GNG. I'd like to add that previously deleted article is not a reason to bring something to AFD as an article might not have been notable then but it is now and I see that it was deleted due to copyright violation which is not the problem now.

 * Keep She passes GNG. Here's some coverage of her starting in the 1970s and going through 2001. Salt Lake Tribune 1999, Ottawa Journal 1977, Ottawa Journal 1979, Ottawa Journal 1977, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette 1981, and LA Times 2001. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 02:57, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - there's an obituary in the Telegraph. Deb (talk) 09:21, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - Clearly meets applicable criteria. Death noted on BBC Radio3 today. BirdInitials (talk) 09:57, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - The subject is clearly covered by reliable sources. Interstellarity (talk) 18:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Easy Keep - extensive discography and international mentions in both biographical and obituary sources. Previous deletion of article must by discounted per users Antila and SportsOlympic (talk). Ref (chew) (do) 18:41, 30 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: As noted above, the subject's field and career dates don't sit particularly well with WP:MUSICBIO, but there is enough to confirm that the subject had a substantial international performing and recording career. I added some early career detail and references; the article clearly needs expanded with detail of the subject's main musical career and life, but the growing body of published obituaries, such as that in the Daily Telegraph, can enable that. AllyD (talk) 07:19, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. A noted concert organist world-wide. A ridiculous and malevolent RfD, a shame for Wikipedia. --Anvilaquarius (talk) 09:09, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
