Delete she won a $1,500 prize, which was a second class win, and no indication that she meets WP:MUSIC or WP:BIO. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:44, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability to come. I don't think that WP:MUSIC applies to "featured" singers on somebody else's song. --Dhartung | Talk 05:34, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * keep I think that if the artist's name is actually published on the Billboard charts WP:MUSIC certainly applies. Refer to November 2007 Billboard Hot 100 (current number 47) and you will see Niia listed: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/charts/chart_display.jsp?f=The+Billboard+Hot+100&pageNumber=Top+11-50&g=Singles —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdemeis (talk • contribs) 13:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Keep Article is supplemental linked supporting content for at least three other Wikipedia articles. References include: Wyclef Jean, Sweetest_Girl_%28Dollar_Bill%29, and The_Carnival_II:_Memoirs_of_an_Immigrant —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jdemeis (talk • contribs) 10:38, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. Of course she's notable.  Even this old man has heard of her. Published on Billboards, band member of other notable acts, and half a Million Ghits. Clean it up, tag it, and fix it later. Bearian&#39;sBooties (talk) 22:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Comment. Her three claims to fame are that she's one of three featured guest artists on a #44 song, won a nationwide high school award, and had a feature written about her as an up and coming high school level musician in the Boston Globe.  The 1/2 million google hits are nearly all attributions of the hit song that list her in the tag line.  I'll leave it to others to decide if that's notable.  If you wait a week or two you might see what happens with her and the single.  Anyway, I cleaned the article up some.  It had a sentence lifted straight off a website so I fixed that.
