 * Carefully read WP:BIO, and then add the sources that will show how this person meets that guidelien. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:41, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

QuestionReah Valente has accumulated a large International fan base in Brazil and Japan. Her lyrics are published in karoake books in Japan. Furthermore, she has her own community in Orkut, one of the largest social networking portals in Japan. I am new and would appreciate any further help you could give me. Therefore, do you have any suggestions to help me?Deniseyu 15:57, 28 March 2007 (EST)
 * Keep, but wikify this feels like a personal site for the artist. As written, this might be better served on a different website. I'm adding it to my watchlist; I may try & help with the tone if I have time. Ventifax 23:58, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,
 * Well written??? "Then in June of 2002, she figured it all out and couldn’t deny her destiny any longer. Music was her life and she was determined to pursue it." Hardly. Most of it is completely unsourced and unverifiable. AfD is extremely hard given that it was pasted on it within 1/2 an hour! Weak Delete unless sources establish notibility.--Dacium 04:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep but needs major cleaning - it passes the (unscientific) "I'd already heard of her" test which makes me think she probably is notable enough, but this reads like it's been copied from press releases. -  irides centi   (talk to me!)  09:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * A lot of it is straight off her website: http://www.reahvalente.us/v2/bio.shtm I want to save this, but it's gonna be tough to get sources in a formal sense. I haven't found any "secondary sources" that say much at all. I've confirmed that she was in a NY band called Tied for Last, but I'm not sure my sources will survive the Talmudic wall some editors want to throw around "Original Research" on the one hand & "self-promotion" on the other.

 * Keep but needs work - Again, I am not sure why the wait between an 'expand' tag and AfD was only 20 minutes but at least someone had an attempt at alerting the author. cheers, Casliber | talk  |  contribs 21:09, 8 April 2007 (UTC)


 * PS: The 2nd CD is on sale on Amazon, so there's something.....cheers, Casliber | talk  |  contribs 21:21, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
