Relisting per Deletion review/Log/2012 August 22. Procedural nomination, I am neutral. T. Canens (talk) 14:53, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep. Singer/songwriter with coverage in multiple WP:RS secondary sources including interesting educational biographic informative material. See for example, specifically 40 results in Google Books, another 24 results in Google News archives, etc. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 14:57, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I think the totals you state are results for the keywords, though your stated 40 results is over optimistic when I click Big G from the UK. Some are results for other people with Margo Rey in the search. Others are mentions in passing, a drive by that does not qualify as a real reference for anything except that the person exists. I find insufficient material so far for me to take a positive stance in this discussion. Equally I find there is no reason at present for me to take a negative stance. I may yet be persuaded to either view. I am aware that Big G is not the final arbiter of notability. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 17:44, 1 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I am now persuaded. Keep as notable per Vertium, below; additions to the article do it for me. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 21:18, 1 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep. Notability for musicians is not achieved solely through references in newspapers and magazines.  This article should be kept for the following reasons:
 * The artist is notable (per WP:MUSICBIO Criteria 2) in that three of her released songs on two albums have achieved a significant level on the Adult Contemporary (chart), a Billboard chart that has been in existence since 1961. Two songs were in the Top 20 of this chart and one peaked at position 21.
 * The article on her by independent Billboard Magazine (as a “Bubbling Under” artist) calls her charting “a notable achievement…, considering the format's almost exclusive reliance on multi-format hits released on major labels"
 * Has had her performances reviewed in reliable, non-self-published, independent works (meeting criteria of WP:MUSICBIO #1).
 * Per WP:ATD, if the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion.  There is foundational notability and enough independent WP:RS to support this article.  If the article requires additional editing, I believe that’s the more appropriate route
 * I have additional independent sources which I'm adding to the article now.  Vertium '' When all is said and done 18:32, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep. The combination of three charted songs, plus some decent (albeit not overwhelming) coverage in reliable sources - including Billboard magazine, Billboard.com, Las Vegas Sun, and CBS Radio - is enough in my view to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG.
