 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   keep. Nothing indicates that 'national chart' means solely a full aggregation of genre charts, therefore a national genre chart must be part of MUSICBIO, and the article establishes that she meets that criteria. Issues on censorship and oversight/rev del of edits can be addressed in other venues as necessary. Ged UK  13:42, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Came up at ANI after legal threats and edit warring. Notability not established or at least doubtful. Choyoołʼįįhí:Seb az86556 > haneʼ 05:19, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Seems she's pretty notable now. Especially given the Chad Johnson domestic violence thing which apparently she made comments about.  I don't think we should be deleting articles because her supposed agent made a threat against a user.  I'd say WP:CENSOR.  ViriiK (talk) 07:48, 17 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete in its present state. Notability must be established in the article itself, not somewhere in the interwebs. Max Semenik (talk) 09:02, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Making comments about an event doesn't make one noteworthy I would say. I don't see what the artist meets WP:MUSIC. As for the censorship comments, even if there wasn't a legal threat, I'd still say delete because they just aren't up to the standards for inclusion on Wikipedia.

 * Delete - fails WP:BIO and associated guidelines. ukexpat (talk) 17:33, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Aren't charted singles an assertation of notability? There are also sources like this, this and more. She's on a major label and has charted singles. I'm failing to see the lack of notability here. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 20:28, 17 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment, only when they're on a national chart, not a genre chart which is where this person's releases have ended up. Lankiveil (speak to me) 08:26, 18 August 2012 (UTC).
 * Says who? And what would make a genre chart non-national? Last I checked, all Billboard charts were tabulated from radio stations across the U.S. WP:BAND says absolutely nothing that precludes genre-specific charts. BLPs on country singers who only got to #59 once on Hot Country Songs have been kept for that reason. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 09:04, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Clearly meets the notability criteria for musicians, based on charted singles, adequately cited to reliable and independent sources. Note that the genre of the music does not correlate to notability in accordance with WP:MUSICBIO. The notability guideline #2 simply states that notability is met if the artist "has had a single or album on any country's national music chart". Five songs have charted on the US national R&B charts over a time period of three years. Best regards,  Cindy  ( talk to me ) 21:22, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep She seems pretty notable given she is a co-star on VH1's Atlanta Love and Hip Hop — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jupeterson (talk • contribs) 18:26, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - meets WP:MUSICBIO and per hammer.  TheSpecialUser TSU 00:31, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
