She came 4th on BBC's Sound of the year 2013. I think that counts as notability Wilsonge (talk) 17:26, 1 January 2013 (UTC)


 * If she won that competition you'd have an argument but I did however miss one detail, she is signed to a major label that in and of itself should actually pass the notability standards, unless someone else thinks it should be deleted I would not be opposed to withdraw the nom in good faith.

 * Keep - look at the table on Sound of.... Every other musician in the top 5 for each year has an article; arguably, the list is so noteworthy that even being in 4th place is grounds for notability. Maybe that's a weak argument, but a quick search shows that plenty of non-BBC sources exist as well. Robofish (talk) 14:17, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
