 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fawning advertisement for singer mostly known for a famous daddy. I will acknowledge it is possible that an actual article could be salvaged out of all this fluff and crap, but I don't know the field well enough to be certain. Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:39, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. She's sung leading roles at the Metropolitan Opera and other notable companies. Clearly meets the criteria at WP:Music. I agree the article language could be improved, but that is not a notability issue. The referencing also needs considerable work, but again that is not a notability issue. This Google News Archive search shows plenty of coverage. To the nominator, before nominating an article for AFD you should bother to do some checking for references to establish notability first. This was a very easy subject to find references for which would establish notability. Best. 4meter4 (talk) 01:41, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * response - I defer to 4meter4's superior knowledge of music; but I cannot bring myself to apologize for being unable to find the pony in the horseshit (I will admit to a strong aversion to promotional language). I also question how much of the coverage a Google search finds, is coverage of "singer" as opposed to "daughter of Nobel-winner re-united with dad" coverage. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  03:29, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * The majority of the news articles are about performances; 90% of which do not mention her father at all (when you remove articles with her father's name only 10% of the news hits dissapear). You could actually bother to read and analyze the search results for yourself instead of making snap judgements.4meter4 (talk) 03:52, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep. I'd recommend withdrawing the nomination per WP:SNOW. -- Klein zach  02:52, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep. While I'm not too familiar with the specific music-person criteria, she easily passes WP:BIO with a number of articles specifically about her. (This piece isn't cited in the article - does anyone have a full copy??) Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 04:22, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh wait, this is the same article. Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 04:28, 11 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Keep but I agree that the article is longer than it ought to be. Vincent (talk) 04:34, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep per the arguments of 4meter4, but the article needs a liberal dose of the red pencil. Voceditenore (talk) 06:44, 11 March 2011 (UTC)
