Michele Adamson

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete, unsourced BLP article which was identified 2+ yrs ago, but in point of fact has remained unsourced for almost SIX YEARS FIVE YEARS now. From what I can gather this is yet another non-notable myspace musician. JBsupreme ( talk ) 07:22, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete I agree entirely with the above. No sources in article. Searching produces MySpace, Twitter, download sites, etc, but nothing remotely like coverage in a reliable independent source. The "record labels" listed appear, from what I can find, to be download sites, rather than actual manufacturers, and none of them seems to be notable at all.

 * Delete After having a look around myself, I found the exact same thing JamesBWatson found- zero RS's to indicate notability. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 11:46, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete per the above. I can find nothing to add to the fruitless searches already noted. The usual caveat applies; if the artist somehow becomes notable later, an article may be appropriate - but not yet. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:18, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep. I didn't create the article but I did add the photo, as I bumped into her backstage at a concert in Turkey. She is very well known on the psytrance scene. She was singing at the Roundhouse in Camden last year. She has a number of records to her name. The music in which she sings - chill out / psytrance - is not a genre that makes the charts but she is probably one of the most well known vocalists in the business, having done a lot of work with the most important artists in the psytrance scene, as well as release her own albums. Practically everyone into psytrance will have heard of her. She is also one of the more successful artists in the live scene, and gets jetted all over the world to sing. I vote for her to stay and if needs be I'll try and add more to her article to back this up. Tris2000 (talk) 17:25, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I should add to my statement above that, although she has made contributions to, and I am not exaggerating, possibly hundreds of tracks from the most famous exponents of the psytrance scene, she is primarily a live act. Just looking at her current schedule should give anyone who doesn't know her an idea that this is not some garage band person, this is someone who makes a successful living and gets flown all over the world, and people fly all over the world to see her.

 * Wonderful, can you cite a reliable third party source which corroborates what you are saying?  JBsupreme  ( talk ) 19:05, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Agreed, if a source confirms that, it'd easily be a Keep. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 21:30, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I've added a reference to the BBC website, surely that's pretty reliable! --Tris2000 (talk) 00:59, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
 * The source you've added, which is a BBC biography for Simon Posford, mentions Adamson in passing: "The vocalists he (Posford) uses most often in his music are Michele Adamson and Abigail Gorton." This does not meet the definition of non-trivial coverage.   JBsupreme  ( talk ) 14:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete, per the above. I cannot find significant coverage within reliable sources. The BBC ref isn't a bad try, but she's only mentioned in passing and nothing more. And partially composing an album that went Gold doesn't seem to cut it either, per the WP:MUSIC standard.  Jamie S93 ❤ 23:01, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
