 * Keep - Maria was a featured vocalist in the youtube hit We Are The World 25 for Haiti (YouTube Edition). Her performance was featured on CNN - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZWVY9rFBSk starting at 45 secs.  I think with some care this page could be further developed to accommodate the concerns of LibStar.

 * that is really clutching at straws, where is the verification that Maria is actually in this clip? even if she appears in it a one off appearance in CNN does not meet WP:BIO. can you provide some other reliable sources besides youtube? LibStar (talk) 11:03, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep - Despite there being few articles which interview Zouroudis herself, there are plenty of sources which list her - just google her name. She is on nme, yoraps, itunes, last fm and various mp3 websites. She is one of the most subscribed and watched uploaders on youtube, and her official website is even set to launch soon..... keith1234 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keith1234 (talk • contribs) 17:02, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
 * you have failed to provide any evidence of reliable sources, and use a WP:GOOGLEHITS argument. LibStar (talk) 16:04, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep- Even though she may not be famous in the public's eyes, she is quite known in websites such as Youtube and Myspace, which millions of people go on every day. Maybe soon, she will have her own label or make it out herself like Kina Grannis, who also got help from the internet. Many bands and solo artists have made it big from the internet e.g Kate Nash, who is quite well known in the UK —Preceding Peonytree (talk) 12:59, 10 April 2010 (UTC)]] comment added by Peonytree (talk • contribs) 12:54, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete lacks coverage in independent reliable sources. nothing she has done makes her notable. the We Are The World 25 for Haiti thing doesn't make her notable. being on youtube and myspace don't make her notable. duffbeerforme (talk) 04:35, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Keep - Fine. Examples of Zouroudis' popularity:

| Maria at Last FM

| Her song 'Daydreaming' featured on NME

| Tik Tok Remix featuring Maria also at NME

| Her album 'Uncovered' at itunes

| Song at Yo Raps

| Small Article and Video at Hilkoo

| Evidence of Zouroudis' involvement in We Are the World Youtube Edition

| And also here, at 2:38

There is plenty more but I do not wish to add too many external links.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keith1234 (talk • contribs) 14:18, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
 * these do not fit the definition of reliable sources. they merely verify that Maria sang songs. LibStar (talk) 07:14, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
