Despite a good-faith effort to clean up and improve tone, this is a non-notable performer in a non-notable band. Only WP:RS given are an awards listing for a non-notable local award for the band, and an interview with an Austin magazine/blog that isn't a terribly major player (INsite). A google news search didn't turn anything up, either. tedder (talk) 05:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC) Delete unless I could be convinced that One Eyed Doll is notable. Her previous band, Giant Squid (band) is notable, in that they released two albums on The End Records which IMO is a "more important indie label". So if One Eye Doll were notable then she would have been in two notable bands and could be included. The local press isn't impressing me, and I'm seeing no other way for them to pass WP:BAND.

Response: Since Kimberly Freeman, Jason Sewell, and Scott Sutton--both who were part of the original Giant Squid --and are listed on Giant Squid's site I believe Kimberly at least deserves to have a wiki as to who she is and what she has done and is doing since. In Austin, there are more than just one articles listed as references--as well as awards she has won, and I believe that less than important people who haven't been signed by labels (and not as well written and cited) have wikis. The band One Eyed Doll IS notable in Austin, it has been declared the most notable band in Austin by many magazines that I have cited and as the live music capitol I believe you can take their word for it. Please allow this wiki to be approved. I have followed your guidelines and it is relevant and does meet the criteria. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GypsyDoll (talk • contribs) 10:46, 26 November 2009 (UTC) — GypsyDoll (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * As far as other wiki articles are concerned, see WP:OSE. Are there any magazines that are notable, let alone reliable? See WP:BIO for the general guidelines of notability of an individual. tedder (talk) 04:50, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Response #2: I believe that this submission for deletion is unfounded. I do not live anywhere in the Austin, TX area, but yet I still know of One-Eyed Doll, and Kimberly Freeman. She is a wonderful performer, and since she has four albums out, 2 of which are with One-Eyed Doll, and she is working on a third album for the band, I push for acceptance of this wiki. I have been in contact with fans of Kimberly Freeman, and her band, from Romania, France, Great Britain, and all over the United States of America. I entered "Kimberly Freeman" into Google.com and found plenty of results that bring you to her music, pictures of her, videos, and her official website. Entering "One-Eyed Doll" brought similar results. If Google seems to accept Kimberly Freeman's existence, why can't Wikipedia? Maybe if you would approve this Wikipedia entry, there would be many and more fans, which would increase notability.

 * Please read WP:GOOGLEHITS. To look at it another way, I exist in Google, there have been a couple of newspaper articles about me, but there's no way I qualify for an article- so only basing it on Google results isn't a great test. tedder (talk) 04:50, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete Per the lack of reliable sources of sufficient depth and coverage of the individual. Borderline BLPs customarily default to delete. Steven Walling  18:53, 27 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Re from Author: The Austin Chronicle, The Examiner, Billboard, are notable magazines and she has been in these and these are cited throughout the entry. She has been part of the signed band Giant Squid, even interviewed Jeffrey Star and vice versa. There are wikis for reality tv stars who have done less. Please do not delete. This is a notable indie band and the wiki entry is according to guidelines and policy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by GypsyDoll (talk • contribs) 21:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you see my reply above? WP:N standards have not been met, among others. tedder (talk) 22:08, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Tedder is correct. Simply being mentioned in passing in a publication is not enough. Steven Walling  00:33, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
