Delete. Poorly sourced article about a musician with no strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. This has existed in sandbox since 2010, but was moved into articlespace this year as a stale draft -- but that should never really have happened, as the strongest claim of notability present here is charting at Canadian campus radio. NMUSIC, however, requires charting claims to be tied to IFPI-certified charts on the order of RPM or Billboard, which !earshot is not, and airplay claims to be tied to national radio networks on the order of CBC Radio 2, not individual radio stations. And the only other thing here is that one of her songs got selected as "Track of the Day" on a podcast, which isn't a notability criterion either. As always, a musician is not automatically entitled to a Wikipedia article just because she exists -- but nothing stated or sourced here gives her an inclusion pass. Also batching her two albums, which will also have to be deleted per CSD A9 if this goes. Bearcat (talk) 14:25, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Adam9007 (talk) 18:49, 6 November 2016 (UTC) Delete all - No evidence of significant media coverage of the artist. The artist charted in obscure charts that aren't nationally recognized. —SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 22:53, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete all. References provided do not establish notability, and I agree with SomeoneNamedDerek on the charts that they placed on. TonyBallioni (talk) 02:48, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
