Disputed PROD. Subject fails WP:MUSICBIO - non-notable. ukexpat (talk) 14:18, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. She has a substantial bio at Allmusic which notes, in part, that her first "album was released to stellar reviews and Virgin Records France put a lot of energy into promoting it, turning Hoffmann into a cult hit in France."  Some digging through French Google turns up substantial coverage in sources such as this about her debut album/tour in Libération and this about her second album in Les Inrockuptibles.  Also some coverage in English: Billboard, CMJ New Music Monthly, a page in a book about rock music from Virginia.  Passes WP:GNG.--Arxiloxos (talk) 19:17, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment — Let's stipulate that second Billboard URL is to an upcoming tour announcement giving very passing mention. That link in particular is not particularly useful. The Virginia music book is likewise passing mention and is of very limited use for demonstrating notability, though it could provide some supporting information surrounding Hoffman's notability. I've templated all but the second Billboard at the article talk page. JFHJr (㊟) 03:51, 7 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep notable enough --Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 00:39, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Clearly notable. As well as the copious coverage at Allmusic, these were easily found: CMJ New Music Report, CMJ New Music Monthly, Les Inrockuptibles, Les Inrockuptibles. Hardly surprising that the PROD was disputed. --Michig (talk) 21:13, 5 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep — I think several of the sources above demonstrate this subject is just notable enough. I'd rather not hang notability on allmusic.com, and I'm glad there's more than that to source decent biographical information. JFHJr (㊟) 03:59, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
