 * Keep and improve through normal editing. She was profiled in music critic Nik Cohn's 2005 book Triksta and her murder a few days ago has resulted in coverage in Rolling Stone and New Orleans newspapers. Cullen328 (talk) 16:32, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Direct quotation in article from regional paper of record New Orleans Times-Picayune describes her as a "legend of bounce music," article outlines her early role as one of only two women signed to Cash Money Records. Her name appeared in several places in Wikipedia before the article was created. Lil Wayne and other collaborators have spoken to the press about her work and murder. Article lists honors/appearances. Jokestress (talk) 16:35, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Lots of mainstream coverage, certainly notable Little Professor (talk) 17:18, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep Never heard of this woman however if she did some notable work in her life, which she clearly did, she is worthy of an article. If she did work with famous people, it would stand to reason they would be mentioned and therefore sound a little like namedropping.  There are sources to support the article so it is all good strong material.  If anything, please add to it as much as possible.  Cexycy (talk) 23:00, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
