The article appears to be sourced to a single magazine article and seems to be a non notable subject, known for only one "event", being related to previous royals of a kingdom lapsed for over 100 years. BLP concerns of subject known for one event, privacy of names as well as people who are relatively unknown.--Mark Miller (talk) 22:36, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Possible borderline notablilty. Requesting the opinion of others. See "books" and "scholar". --Mark Miller (talk) 23:57, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Sourcing issue/problems - The main reason this article is nominated for deletion is that I feel it is promotional on two fronts, political (sovereignty movement) and professional (musical career) and that reliable sources are few to none with only a passing mention. Just trying to find a reliable source for the birth dating was an issue, but perhaps someone has access to a birth certificate as a source. In looking for a source for the birth record I noticed that "Hawaiian Music History" is not a reliable source and has no editorial over sight, no particular reputation for fact checking and is the creation of a single person. The link there to the official website of Salazar links to an empty page.--Mark Miller (talk) 19:44, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment in this source, described as a featured artist on 'Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar'. The award was given to the producers rather than the artist, but it won a Grammy and reached number fifteen on Billboard's Top World Music Albums chart. It would depend on exactly what the significanc was of her contribution - I was unable to find reliable sources to confirm notability. Boleyn (talk) 09:04, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Delete as nominator. Notability seems borderline at best. Could be seen as promotional.--Mark Miller (talk) 19:38, 9 September 2014 (UTC)
 * you don't have to !vote twice. Being the nominator, it is assumed that you support delete until you withdraw. So, !voting again is not required. Cheers,  Jim Carter (from public cyber)  06:09, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
 * What is an absolute....don't ever alter the posts of others. I was originally not sure whether the article should or should not be deleted but have decided there is not enough reliable sources for notability. State awards are not enough for encyclopedic notability by Wikipedia Standards. These AFD's should never be seen as a direct insult or criticism of the biography subject, but the subject does not appear to be notable enough for a stand alone article. Mention on other articles should suffice. I suggest merging the content to another relevant article. Possibly to Slack-key guitar or the newly created, Masters of Hawaiian Slack Key Guitar.--Mark Miller (talk) 19:05, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep as separate article Notable as a local musician in the Hawaiian genre. The article is unsourced but reliable sources exist. Certainly she is as notable as the people linked in this paragraph on slack-key guitar:
 * "Many currently prominent Hawaii-based players got their starts during the Cultural Renaissance years: Cindy Combs, Ledward Kaapana, George Kahumoku, Jr., his brother Moses Kahumoku, Dennis Kamakahi, Ozzie Kotani, three Pahinui brothers (Bla, Cyril, and Martin), the Emerson Brothers and Owana Salazar. These artists, and slack key in general, have become well-known outside of Hawaii largely through George Winston's Dancing Cat Records record label, which has most often showcased the music in solo settings."

 * I'm not worried too much either way, but that is only a passing mention.--Mark Miller (talk) 22:04, 11 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep based on multiple state-level awards. Stuartyeates (talk) 00:21, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
