Roxanne Fontana

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I have searched Google, ProQuest, Newspaper Archives, and Newsbank, and until I found some videos I wasn't certain that Roxanne Fontana even existed. I can't find any evidence of notability, most of the references used go nowhere, and the assertions of the article are unverified and far-fetched. Based on my searches, she doesn't meet GNG or NMUSIC. JSFarman (talk) 03:15, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete In the spirit of full disclosure, I brought this article to the attention of who I believe to be more competent than I in assessing the notability of LA music topics. I had no way of knowing how she might come down, but agree with her thoughtful assessment in this case. Cullen328 (talk) 05:23, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment: With AFD nominations too often being justified with "Fails WP:N" I appreciate the detail you have provided here and wish more editors would explain their logic like this, it gives me confidence in your nomination. Thanks. CT55555 (talk) 14:23, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you, CT55555 . I really do not like nominating articles for deletion -- I think I have nominated four in 11 years! -- so I search until it's clear that my search will be fruitless.  I truly appreciate your message.  Thank you x a million. JSFarman (talk) 15:36, 25 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Weak Delete A few of the citations are primary sources such as her essays. Several of the sources such as New York Post are not available online to be verified. This does not mean they do not exist, so if someone can prove that these actually exist and have significant coverage on her, then I will change my vote to keep.

 * Comment Do you mean the New York Press? I searched for the articles on the databases referenced above as well as via the Wayback Machine.  (Just FWIW,  the New York Post is not a reliable source.)  JSFarman (talk) 16:01, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
