Calling all Jazz lovers! I suppose some of these claimed collaborations might make the subject notable, but I know none of the musicians involved. I do know that the article lacks sources. Delete, pending those. Xoloz 21:05, 6 May 2007 (UTC) Comment these sources would have been trivial to find--easier than doing an AfD nomination. And the nom. was only 6 hours after the article was created. I don't make guesses in fields where I don't know the names. DGG 00:21, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Strong keep A quick google search indicates that this person has published 6 CDs under major labels(criteria for WP:BAND). Sources are needed, but you're expecting too much out of a stub.  When googling can find sources, you really shouldn't nominate for deletion.  A few news Items I found regarding this person.
 * 1) All about jazz newsletter
 * 2) Chicago Tribune
 * 3) NY Times review
 * 4) Jazz police magazine listing of performances
 * All of those are recent. If no one else does, I'll adopt and source this article, but deletion seems inappropriate. i kan reed 21:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I created this article, and have provided my source and a partial discography. This should solidify her notability. (Mind meal 23:10, 6 May 2007 (UTC))
 * Not sure if the comment is directed at me -- I learned long ago not to trust myself evaluating music articles, so I freely admit I rarely bother with Google there. Nowadays, though, I also don't leave unsourced articles alone, even if I am clueless on the subject -- they need to meet WP:V fast.  So, I send 'em to AfD, and trust the process to work.  In this case, it certainly seems to have done so. Xoloz 00:33, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * But AfD is not the process for cleanup. --Maxamegalon2000 05:10, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's true. It is a process for deleting articles, which would be done here, had sources not been brought forward.  In this way, it is also a process for saving articles.  Cleanup is very different from "causing to meet WP:V," the minimum threshold of being encyclopedic. Xoloz 06:34, 7 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep. Whatever the case before, it most definitely looks notable now, with references.  RFerreira 06:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep and expand per RFerreira. --Myles Long 19:48, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
