Lauren Fischer

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Claim to fame is that she was a background singer for Michael Jackson, and that she was murdered. No relevant results on: Google, GBooks, GScholar, GNews, GBlogs, IMBD, Amazon.com, amazon.co.uk for any of the names mentioned in the article (although events occurred pre-WWW). I suspect the material may be sourced from a true-crime type book - could not find the "paul-von" mentioned in the article anywhere; however the reference(?) at the top of the article may be this which I don't think would include biographical information.

 * Delete Presumably she sang backing on the karaoke CD that goes with the book? From the lack of online references (even given the pre-WWW qualification), I don't see any evidence that her music career was independently notable, or that the murder was notable. Adding the two together doesn't justify an article, and I can't figure out the "paul-von" reference either. Thomjakobsen 21:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * If possible, I would like to withdraw this nomination, as I have been informed that the article was previously speedy deleted under WP:CSD and have now tagged it . Sorry for any inconvenience caused. -- Kateshort  forbob  22:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The WP:CSD criterion only applies to articles that were previously deleted via AfD, not speedy deletes. The new version does attempt to assert notability ("one of the most popular backing singers etc.") so it's ineligible for another A7. It'll qualify for G4s if the result here is a delete and it gets recreated. Thomjakobsen 23:14, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for clarifying. -- Kateshort forbob  23:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete - Absence of secondary sources means the subject fails WP:N -- Notability (music) and Notability (people) -- and the lack of Google hits would make it appear this could be remedied. Also, while it's sad she was murdered, Wikipedia is not a memorial.  --Rrburke(talk) 00:48, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Followup - The article creator has blanked the page, so I have tagged it WP:SD. --Rrburke(talk) 01:05, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
