Retta Rizzo

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Not notable. Only two refs are Yahoo blogs both by the same author (friend?) plus own website and a Wikipedia school article. No evidence of any success or public notice. Looks very much like an autobiography from the editing history  Velella  Velella Talk 21:07, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Under both names provided, although I focused on the performing pseudonym, I found nothing to make me think this person has any notability.  The "indie charts" cited are some sort of listing of self-released music from Soundclick and the Yahoo cites are from a kind of unpaid blogger ("Contributor Network") where apparently no editorial control is exercised (and I can find no other reference to the "quotations" within).  This is, as near as I can tell, an artist who relies on self-publishing, which confers no notability, and who has attracted no mainstream attention from reliable sources.

 * Delete - The only claim to notability is the song charting—and if that doesn't exist (per User:DUCKISJAMMMY), then the article isn't worth keeping. Dori ☾Talk ⁘ Contribs☽ 01:02, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - based on your list of policies I ask that you give the Retta Rizzo article a chance (I could not get the policy page for "WP:CHANCE" to link). There are other names, verifiable information and links connected to the article if time is given.
 * Comment - You are referring to WP:CHANCE which is an essay which can provide some advice, but it does not represent official policy or guideline. I'll also point out that the essay states "And don't PROD or AfD it until the original editor has had a chance—a week should be enough time—to add substance to the article and list sources and do everything else people tend to use against such short articles.", and this article has been had 6 months of time. -- Whpq (talk) 13:59, 28 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - I've looked for sources, and I am unable to find any signficant coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability in general, or for that specific to entertainters. -- Whpq (talk) 14:25, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
