Appears to fail WP:MUSICIAN. While this doesn't factor into deletion, the creator of the article is "GypsyDiva," which coincidentally also happens to be the name of Dubois' record label. Missvain (talk) 17:07, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I am not an owner and I am not an employee of Gypsy Diva Records. I am a fan of Larissa Dubois. Singer Larissa Dubois calls all of her fans Gypsy Diva, Gypsy Divas & Gypsy Soldiers, that is the reason I picked that username, I am a fan. I am not a record label. Why you would target to delete this page because I chose a username as a fan name is not a valid reason for deletion.  Numerous moderators have reviewed and edited the page based on merit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gypsydiva  (talk • contribs)
 * Nom has specifically stated your username's reference "doesn't factor into deletion", only as a FYI kind of thing. Instead of getting all defensive over the wrong thing, why not actually provide/look for substantial reliable independent sources to satisfy inclusion conditions set out in either WP:NMUSIC or the more general WP:GNG? And for your information, even if "moderators" have substantially edited the article it can still be deleted based on solid non-notable grounds, not to mention so far only you, and a 98.* IP made any substantial content changes that is more than cursory maintenance.  野狼院ひさし  u/t/c 09:18, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Comment Thank you User:Hisashiyarouin I'm a newbie. The advice is noted and appreciated any help would be welcomed.Gypsydiva (talk) 17:18, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Comment FYI User:GypsyDiva has once more left a similar, slightly expanded, version of her comment above on the talk page for this deletion discussion. I'm not going to move it here, but, just an FYI: see here. Missvain (talk) 14:21, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Speedy Keep Several verifiable WP:GNG and WP:MUSICIAN were provided as references before Nom. All third party Reliable Independent Sources were provided and linked before Nom requested deletion. I expanded on the Reliable Independent Sources provided and have met the WP:MUSICIAN and WP:GNG guidelines as established by Wikipedia.  Some reference examples are as follows: (First source): SingersRoom April 6, 2015 "Discovered: Larissa Dubois This Is Love." Article written by the founder,creator, and editor of the Soul Train award winning R&B/Soul music news outlet. (Second souce): A UK (United Kingdom) online music media outlet SoulTracks founder,creator, and editor wrote an Soul Music article/review of Larissa Dubois's EP "This Is Love." The article is quoted as saying "She has the skills that remind us of some of the great female singers of the past two decades.”


 * A simple search on Google would have proven she has received verifiable and reliable indepedent articles in the media online as a musician after SingersRoom announced her as "Discovered" in the music industry.


 * All Independent Reliable Sources were referenced/cited on the Larissa Dubois Wikipedia page when created.Gypsydiva (talk) 17:18, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Comment I'm not knowledgeable about this area of music, but I looked at the sources and I don't know if any of them meet the wp:rs guidelines. Some are obviously blogs (kelandmelreviews), some take blog-like content from contributors (face2face), others seem to be music promotion sites with unclear editorial oversight. The one that does seem like a possible RS is SoulTracks. Then there are links to performance notices, which don't confer notability. I'd like it if someone can give more information on the sources and their reliability. LaMona (talk) 05:30, 25 October 2015 (UTC)
