 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge to Northwind Calling. Fails WP:MUSICBIO but the record at least has some decent sourcing. LizardJr8 (talk) 21:20, 23 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep She was featured in the New York Times last year https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/arts/music/mossy-kilcher-northwind-calling.html also https://www.folkradio.co.uk/2020/07/mossy-kilchers-northwind-calling-digital/ and https://americana-uk.com/mossy-kilcher-northwind-calling-tompkins-square-2020 Piecesofuk (talk) 17:04, 1 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - The musician also has an album article at Northwind Calling, which should be addressed if the musician's article is deleted. One voter above suggested merging the musician to the album, which is not common procedure and does not make a lot of sense. I would recommend the reverse. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:21, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Very Weak Keep - She released an obscure album in 1977 and was totally unknown until 2020, when the album was reissued and got some reviews. It was definitely covered in New York Times, and I found a few other reviews too:, . The reviews paint her as a creator of a unique type of Alaskan music, which just barely meets a couple of requirements at WP:NMUSICIAN. However, material about her social activities in her hometown is not notable and her album article should probably be redirected. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:29, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Weak keep There is just enough coverage to pass notability, but it would probably be a good idea for somebody to start a discussion to merge the album article into this one.Jackattack1597 (talk) 10:31, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep as there is substantial coverage in multiple reliable sources such as a dedicated article in the New York Times and reviews that show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:28, 11 July 2021 (UTC)
