Non-notable musician; three paragraphs one time, even in the Dagbladet, does not constitute notability; and any obscure trash can be "sold via iTunes". Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  17:48, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

So if i list 10-20 sources from the last ten years from all the major Norwegian newspapers, of her work with several bands that have toured all over Europe, plus major TV-appearances, would that help? I thought that Wikipedia wasn´t about bragging or promoting, so I just kept the basic facts. The reason I added the article now was because some of her projects are currently being launched in new territories such as Germany, Danmark, and more. Oyvindhb (talk) 18:00, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * reply - are these articles about her, or about bands she was in? Many fine musicians never achieve enough fame to meet our standards (see: WP:BAND) on their own behalf. Do you have further coverage of Vik herself, not just as a band member? If not, maybe she's just another up-and-coming performer who may or may not "break out" on her own. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  18:31, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep. Enough coverage from a Google News search to indicate notability.--Michig (talk) 18:40, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. As per Michig. A quick look at Maya Vik's official page shows a number of magazine articles (such as Eye Candy and VG Helg) which can probably be used to flesh the article out. Tabercil (talk) 18:50, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

Of the criteria listed here, WP:BAND, she qualifies for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12 (not 9). I will start listing more sources as soon as possible. Oyvindhb (talk) 19:21, 28 November 2011 (UTC)

I added more sources and some more facts to make her seem more notable. So, is the issue settled? Oyvindhb (talk) 20:15, 28 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Oyvindhb, articles listed for deletion typically stay open for discussion for one week before they are closed. The best way to "settle" it at the end of that time is to use the best Reliable sources you can find. In this case, that would likely be from mainstream Norwegian news and other publications (not tabloids, and not online blogs and music fan sites). First Light (talk) 15:46, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Keep Plenty of coverage in Norwegian language notable sources, just from a Google news search. First Light (talk) 14:45, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
