Poorly sourced WP:BLP of a musician, whose strongest claim to notability is unsourced and unverifiable: it claims two singles that charted in the Canadian top 40 at both AC and Hot AC, but fails to specify what chart provider those rankings were attained on -- and I can't find verification anywhere else, either. The definitive and notability-conferring Canadian charts for both of those radio formats are found in Billboard, but she doesn't turn up at all in a search there -- and if it was really a single-vendor chart like Spotify or iTunes instead, those are WP:BADCHARTs that cannot confer notability. The only "source" present here at all for anything is a Beatport stream, which is not a reliable source for demonstrating that a musician passes NMUSIC, and I can't find any other reliable source coverage about her anywhere else either. The sourcing needed to get her over GNG simply doesn't exist, and nothing here passes NMUSIC in the absence of proper verification in reliable sources. Bearcat (talk) 16:43, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Confusion in there are apparently 2 singers with he same name. One Canadian, the other American who's only purported success has been in Canada. My search for any evidence of accomplishment on Billboard.com came up with nothing. (I wonder if the unconventional spelling of her name's double "l" causes confusion?) so I agree with the nominator that the claims are unverifiable, although if the claims could be proven this subject would merit WP notability. I researched the three awards the article mentions and they appear to be either industry related or small time--possible the type of awards that are given out to nominees willing to join the organization? It's hard to say for sure, but it sure has that "feel" about it. I know social media following doesn't count for much in determining WP notability because of the abuse in over-inflating, but it's revealing that her followers are meager in comparison. And, yes, it does appear to be promotional by a SPA editor. ShelbyMarion (talk) 13:00, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
