 * Keep as writer of a charting song. "Wilcox has also had significant success as a songwriter, winning the SOCAN No. 1 Song Award for her song "Stay", which reached the peak of Canadian Music Network's Bravo! chart on October 18, 2005. The song was co-written and recorded by the distinctive Quebec-based star Jorane and appears on Jorane's 2004 album, The You and the Now (an album produced by Michael Brook, and featuring Daniel Lanois)." -- Eastmain (talk) 23:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * And I added some references, so it should pass now. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:50, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I took a gander at the sources. Two of them mention that she's been a part of a project to make a charity song; no actual mention of how notable the song is. The third one redirects to an untitled error page. Is there a source that says one of her songs charted? Are there sources for the awards? Are the awards themselves notable?

 * Yes. Try Billboard.com (Three Days Grace - "Home"), MuchMusic.com (Much Countdown) (Projet Orange - "Tell All Your Friends" and (Three Days Grace - "Home"). SOCAN administers all royalties for Canadian songwriters, so yes, the awards are significant.

 * comment was asked to take a gander at new changes to article. Have done so. Still non-notable, does not meet WP:MUSIC so i still argue for delete.Bali ultimate (talk) 01:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Of the artist's 3 recorded works only one is actually released and available through a recognised label. And, according to her bio, she currently works as a secretary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada??? The Real Libs-speak politely 01:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep This is obviously a significant Canadian songwriter. Is there something that precludes former secretaries from making significant cultural contributions? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.248.172.25 (talk) 19:20, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep She currently works as a songwriter for EMI Music Publishing International, just finished co-writing the entire upcoming Paris Hilton record (including Paris for President) and has worked on albums that have charted internationally (Three Days Grace)(US Platinum, CRIA certified platinum) and in Canada (Kalan Porter CRIA certified 2x platinum, Ryan Malcolm CRIA certified platinum). It turns out she also co-wrote the current single by The Trews "Man of Two Minds" and a current top ten single on Canadian radio ("Great Expectations", Ali Slaight, Universal Canada).
 * comment the page is a mess, but this is an important Canadian songwriter, she appears on many albums not even mentioned in the article.
 * comment re: "The Real Libs"- she appears on recordings released by JIVE/ZOMBA, SonyBMG, Universal, Epitaph, EMI UK, EMI Canada, MapleMusic (a Universal Canada subsiduary), Nettwerk...that should be sufficient??
 * comment Here are the singles I could track down, and their accompanying labels...can someone help me out here?


 * Keep, passes WP:MUSIC.   Esradekan Gibb    "Talk" 22:16, 31 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Keep meets WP:MUSIC by having charting singles as Music Notability Policy deems "having a charted hit on any national music chart" as criteria for musicians. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.104.223.213 (talk) 15:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
