 * Comment. She seems to have won a number of notable awards. Doesn't that satisfy WP:ANYBIO? pburka (talk) 19:35, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment The only possibly notable award is two Independent Music Awards in 2009 for "Childrens Music: Album" and "Childrens Music: Song". From our article on this award, "...self-distributed recordings and releases from independent record labels. The IMAs honor works in over 100 categories...". So, there are plenty of awards every year, and judging by the refs and pageviews for our article, the IMAs are marginally notable at best. Edwardx (talk) 19:49, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Mild Keep Looks like she's been featured in the New York Times, but the paywall won't let me in. If it's the same person, she did music for a national travel campaign for Newfoundland, Canada . Her "Breathe like a Bear" has one Kirkus review and one in the Digital Journal . One of her songs is mentioned in a peer-reviewed journal,  about yoga for children. Her books are also recommended curriculum material here, in a thesis: . I think with all this and the awards she's just notable enough. Oaktree b (talk) 16:12, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I agree with this analysis and weak keep. CT55555 (talk) 18:49, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Another agreement of the analysis. Weak Keep. It feels wrong to write this little substance in a !vote casualdejekyll  17:02, 27 April 2022 (UTC)
