Margot Day

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication in the article that the subject passes WP:NMUSIC. The only independent source in the article is a local news website review of a self-published album by a band she was in. Checked for better sources, and found several other people called Margot Day, but very little about this one subject, not enough to pass WP:GNG. See below - withdraw following substantial improvements using archived sources. Girth Summit  (blether) 15:54, 2 May 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete this is monstrous. Advertising, unencyclopedic, and horrific abuse of sourcing. Trillfendi (talk) 16:08, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete clearly fails WP:MBIO and WP:GNG. MyanmarBBQ (talk) 17:08, 2 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep I was able to find quite a bit of sourcing. Day was part of the underground music scene in the 80s and 90s. She still performs today. I've cleaned up article and added references. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 04:01, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Keep and Withdraw nomination due to substantial improvements.
 * Wow - you put a bit of work into that Megalibrarygirl, very impressive! I've reviewed the sources you were able to find. A couple of them (this and this) just give trivial passing mentions, and This doesn't seem to lead to the right page - I just get a menu screen when I go there. This looks as though it's a dead tree version of WP:UGC - a page of album reviews sent in by readers. However - the review that was in the article already, and this one that you added, are reasonably lengthy reviews of her work in local newspapers (The Burlington Free Press and Seven Days (newspaper)). I think this would now just about pass under the first criterion of WP:MUSICBIO, since we have two independent secondary sources giving non-trivial coverage.

 * Thanks! I enjoy looking for people lost in history! I did screw up one of the archived pages. The review for Legends Magazine is archived here. Sorry for that. :( Not sure why the Flip Magazine link isn't showing for you. I found it on Internet Archive. :) Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:17, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * That new link works for me, thanks - I think that adds weight to the notability. I don't know what was up with the original link - there was no message to tell me why it didn't work, it just took me to a blue menu page. It might be something to do with my being in the UK? Lots of US publications block access to European IPs these days, but they usually tell us that they're doing it... Girth Summit  (blether)  17:30, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
 * No, the bad link was my fault. >:P Megalibrarygirl (talk) 18:23, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
