Rose May Alaba

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. She has released only seven songs since she started her music career and none of them have been discussed in significant detail. She is the sister of David Alaba, but notability cannot be inherited. Per the article, she has been making music since 2015. An artist who has been making music for 4 years with no album and only seven singles to her name cannot be notable.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 03:07, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep: The artiste has achieved appreciable notability in Austria and as per the article wrote and performed the Theme Song for the Special Olympics. She also represented Austria at the Europa Music Competition. Notability may not always be linked to the number of singles or albums. Her songs have also been featured on notable Nigerian media.Philphleg (talk) 09:18, 9 October 2019 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philphleg (talk • contribs) 09:14, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * What "appreciable notability" did she achieved in Austria? None of her songs charted on Austria's official music chart. The theme song she wrote and performed did not chart and was not critically reviewed. Again, participating in a music competition is not grounds for stand-alone inclusion.

 * Delete - she may be ab "artiste" but charting in a single small country does not make her pass WP:MUSICBIO. Bearian (talk) 13:48, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:NMUSICBIO criteria 2: Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart. Atlantic306 (talk) 23:04, 11 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Which of her songs charted on an official music chart?   Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 02:35, 12 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep passes WP:NMUSIC criteria 2 with charting releases on a national chart shown here and also has coverage in multiple reliable sources already in the article, such as Guardian Nigeria and Vanguard, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 16:01, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * The Guardian and Vanguard sources cited do not qualify as secondary sources in this instance since they are interviews. Secondary sourcing is needed to establish notability.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 23:14, 12 October 2019 (UTC)


 * The confirmation of the charting is a determinant of notability and being interviewed in national newspapers is also notable if not passing WP:V Atlantic306 (talk)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
