WP:BLP of a child activist and musician, not adequately referenced as the subject of enough media coverage to clear WP:GNG. This is referenced to just three pieces of limited-distribution local media: two are from small community weekly newspapers which are covering her only in the context of performing at small community festivals within a short drive of her hometown (and thus not satisfying NMUSIC's touring criterion, which requires a national tour), while the third is a very short piece in a local special-interest magazine which is really just a reprint of an organization's press release and not real journalism. Nothing stated in the article is an automatic hard pass of our notability standards for either musicians or activists, so it takes more than just a couple of pieces of coverage in community hyperlocals to get her over WP:GNG in lieu. GNG, as always, is not just "count up the footnotes and keep anybody who meets or exceeds two" — it also takes into account factors such as the geographic range represented by the sources, and the context of what they're covering her for.

 * Delete Sure. Bearcat makes sense. I have no memory of starting that stub, and am not sure why I did. Sorry to waste community time on this one. I'll be more careful in the future. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 00:23, 3 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Weak keep I believe, with the added sources of substantial stories by Globe and Mail and other articles in local newspapers to the article, this article might satisfy the wp:gng Zingarese talk  ·  contribs  14:42, 10 April 2019 (UTC)
