 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Weak Keep as the singer won I love New York competition with her own song and 7 Notes Challenge competition organized by famous musician Serj Tankian. Moreover, there is a significant coverage about her on the internet. Harut111 (talk) 06:38, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - Per Eurovision connection. Per win at I love New York.BabbaQ (talk) 21:21, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - the 'I Love New York festival' doesn't even appear among the top Google queries. How relevant is it, really?  ×º°”˜ `”°º× ηυηzια  ×º°”˜ `”°º×  18:45, 25 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep as has coverage in reliable sources already in the article and has won numerous singing /songwriting competitions such as in the U.S. Atlantic306 (talk) 20:00, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment coming in 7th in the Armenian Eurovision qualifying contest doesn't meet any SNG, and I agree that I don't know what the "I love New York" festival is supposed to be. Refs are almost entirely in Armenian; I doubt WP:ENT is met by them but GNG might be. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 00:19, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment: That the sources are almost entirely in Armenian are not an issue. This singer covers WP:MUSIC Paragraph 1, 9,12. BabbaQ (talk) 10:57, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - I have changed my !vote to Keep. For reasons mentioned in my comment above. This clearly meets WP:MUSIC.BabbaQ (talk) 11:11, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * No it doesn't. No published music (doesn't have an iTunes or Spotify page), so paragraph 1 isn't met; hasn't won any major music competitions, which means paragraph 9 isn't met; and participating in a Eurovision selection doesn't give her automatic encyclopedic relevance, or else this wouldn't have happened. We should remember that this is an encyclopedia, and not a platform to promote unsigned hopefuls who haven't contributed to anything relevant in order to have their own page.  ×º°”˜ `”°º× ηυηzια  ×º°”˜ `”°º×  15:42, 27 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Your last sentence reminds me of WP:JUSTDONTLIKEIT. When determining notability, the Wikipedia guidelines are what's important. The current state of sourcing in the article demonstrates she's received significant coverage in independent sources about not just her music but her history and her life. According to WP:GNG, this indicates that she is notable. Lonehexagon (talk) 18:52, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Based on the current sourcing of the article (I clicked on just three examples, though there's many more), it appears to easily pass WP:GNG due to the amount of coverage in independent secondary sources. Whether or not she passes WP:MUSIC, the extensive coverage she's received about her history, hobbies, and education demonstrate that there's significant interest in her as a person.
