 * Keep - checking Google News I see that there are plenty of sources that can be added to the article. She is evidently considered a celebrity in Houston, which alone should justify the article, but it appears that she has achieved some notability outside of Houston too.  And she has appeared on the David Letterman show. Robman94 (talk) 16:46, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
 * I have updated the article to include 24 citations from publishers such as BuzzFeed, Edmonton Journal, Idaho Statesman, Houston Press, KPRC-TV, Houston Chronicle, Houstonia (magazine) and Consequence of Sound. Robman94 (talk) 22:41, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Very Weak Keep Checking with Google gives a considerable amount of references to notable sources, I don't find a lot of notability outside of Houston however. --84.198.33.98 (talk) 08:05, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment, yeah, the coverage is mainly in Houston, but there is a bit of national coverage in the Edmonton Journal, BuzzFeed and the Idaho Statesman. Robman94 (talk) 21:54, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Not Weak This is valid, she is a lead singer of a band that has a released known album. Why would this reference of the lead singer of the The Suffers band be deleted just because one person believes it's invalid. Is Wikipedia about data, or some random persons view on validation.
 * Delete not enough sourcing to show she passes notability criteria for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:59, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
