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

Nothing has changed since the previous AfD in November 2020 when this was deleted. This is still a vanity article relying almost entirely on non-independent sources and with heavy editing by paid/COI users.

Thanks, Extraordinary Writ (talk) 04:17, 12 December 2021 (UTC) Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "In 2017, Houghton — a Latter-day Saint singer-songwriter with a bubbly personality and a wardrobe that would make Barbie envious — was seeing more success than ever. She had completed a tour with former pop duo MKTO during the rise of its award-nominated hit song, “Classic,” and opened for One Direction outside the Rose Bowl. She wore designer-everything — from fur coats to red-bottomed stilettos. Her original song, “Catch Me if You Can,” had recently reached the No. 1 spot on Radio Disney. It was the kind of success young musicians dream about. But it wasn’t the fairy tale Houghton, then 24, thought it would be. After she left her childhood home in Texas to move to the big music cities of LA and Nashville, the industry took hold of every part of her."  The article notes: "Love is like a 1960s mod dream in Tiffany Houghton’s video for her latest single “I’m Gonna Love You”; both the song and video are premiering exclusively on Billboard below. ... The same sensibilities that comprised the free love and individual spirit of the bygone decade are just as present in Houghton’s voice as they are onscreen. The lightness that she brings to the song’s lyrics is genuine in a way that proves experience and accessibility. Fittingly, the initial spark arrived in a situation that everyone hopes for, but only some can relate to."  The article has two paragraphs of non-interview coverage. The article notes: "Tiffany Houghton’s voice is simply angelic. There’s something sweet yet powerful about her inflections, adding a unique, honeysweet texture to addictive pop gems. If you haven’t already heard of her (somehow), a quick Google search will show how prominent the emerging artist has become in only a handful of years. The millions upon millions of YouTube plays for hits like “Catch Me If You Can” and “High” deliver a great prognosis for her forthcoming album, due out in March of 2017."  The article notes: "Singer/songwriter Tiffany Houghton recently released her second single and music video, entitled “Phone Call” (below), and is currently working on her EP. Originally from Dallas, TX, Tiffany first got her start on Broadway before going on to study music at the prestigious Booker T. Washington Arts High School. Over the past few years, she has opened for Jake Miller and Joe Nichols and has covered numerous songs, each slightly different from the original, on her website."  The article notes: "Pop, country, 60’s doo-wop—you’ll find traces of it all in Tiffany Houghton’s songs and videos. The 20-year-old musician draws her inspiration from favorite movies like Breakfast at Tiffany’s (see the video for “17 Again”) to living her life. Girl anthem “Love Like That” fights back against male entitlement with a catchy beat to jam out to. After wrapping up The American Dream Tour this summer with MKTO, Houghton will be performing with Austin Mahone for the Girls’ Life Back-to-School Fashion Bash on August 19. In the meantime, she’s working on getting her songs out there with more tour opportunities and coming up with a radio plan, so she’s not stopping any time soon." <li></li> <li></li> <li> This is an article by Kidsday reporters.</li> </ol>There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Tiffany Houghton to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep I encourage the nominator to look at the page history since the last AfD. I personally took a major hand in cutting the COI content and non-independent sources; drastic overhaul has occurred since that last AfD, so it is entirely inaccurate to say that nothing has changed. I can't say it's in perfect shape, but there are certainly enough independent sources available to pass WP:MUSIC bullet 1 here, which is why I asked for the article's restoration. The content of the article as it stands has largely been vetted either by me (who am not a paid/COI user) or by User:Carolinewhite2006, who is not tagged as a COI user, so the aspersions in the nomination need to be substantiated.

 * Delete. I have no opinion on the last AFD, but looking over this one, it seems to be purely sourced from celebrity gossip sites. I don't see any reliable sources giving significant coverage to this person. My WP:BEFORE brought up nothing.-- <b style="color:white">Mike</b> <b style="color:white">🗩</b> 20:30, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete . Many of these sources are of very questionable reliability, and so I wouldn't feel comfortable sourcing a BLP to them. On balance, the coverage that is significant (i.e. not trivial mentions) and reliable (i.e. not gossip magazines) and independent (i.e. not interviews) is not in my view sufficient to establish notability.

 * I've struck my !vote in light of Cunard's sources below. Many of them still appear to be of uncertain reliability or questionable significance, but I can't fairly !vote delete without doing a deeper dive. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 19:20, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * The sources above are far and away suitable to pass WP:MUSIC. I encourage previous delete !voters to review and reconsider. Chubbles (talk) 15:55, 20 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep agree per Cunard that passes WP:GNG. VocalIndia (talk) 07:47, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep - Passes WP:GNG and WP:MUSIC based on the sourcing presented by Cunard. Thank you! Missvain (talk) 01:42, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
