 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

This page should be deleted. International tours or not, she is simply not a notable or mention-worthy figure in music. I only know of her thanks to linked YouTube videos. Bands I'm in have those, have toured all over California, have thousands of fans and legitimate releases, and we don't have Wikipedia pages (I've tried making them, and they've been deleted for the SAME REASON THAT THIS PAGE SHOULD BE DELETED). Simply put, it's cool to put info about a musician or band that is trying to make it, but if they are not important in music they need not be on Wikipedia. If every session musician or cellist that went to a UC was on this site, there would be no room for actual musicians. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frunobulax19 (talk • contribs) 2009/05/12 18:39:23
 * This AfD nomination was incomplete (missing step 3). It is listed now. DumbBOT (talk) 13:50, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep – In other words, your reason for deletion is “I don’t like her”. That is a first here at AFD.  However, a long list of other people seems to think her notable.  Lets see GMA as shown here,  – News.com, as shown here,  – Chicago Tribune, as shown here  – Atlanta Journal Constitution, as shown here  and several other international sources as shown here, .  I believe establish enough independent – creditable – verifiable – 3rd party sources to include inclusion here at Wikipedia.  Thanks - ShoesssS Talk 14:34, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep --disclaimer, after watching a few YouTube videos I like her (though I like Joan Jeanrenaud better). Guo has generated plenty of coverage in reliable sources, and while the article reads like a resume and needs a serious rewrite the is certainly notable enough for an article on Wikipedia.

 * Hold it. I've reworked the entire article, which turned out to have been copied in its entirety from www.tinaguo.com. After all that (cause S Marshall, below, was right: it was completely crap) I come to discover that I'm really not so convinced anymore, and I wonder what I saw this afternoon that made me so sure. Shoess, above, found some sources--but the Atlanta Journal Constitution article only mentions that she's going to play there, the GMA thing really is not very in-depth or very significant, and that Chicago Tribune article...really, click on the link. So I'm going to clutch my keep to my breast (or vice versa) and wait for others to weigh in, others who can perhaps find better sources, esp. for the numerous awards she is supposed to have won (check the history for the earlier, fluffier version).

 * Remark—The nominator's statement above appears rather pointy. Having said that, in its present state, this article's completely crap. If kept, assorted templates should be placed on it recommending a rewrite from scratch.— S Marshall   Talk / Cont  20:19, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Ha, completely crap no more, S Marshall--I had a crack at the opening sentence. I trust you'll feel that, even in the absence of such information as birthdate and nationality, this is slowly becoming positively encyclopedic, one sentence at a time. Drmies (talk) 00:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep meets WP:MUSIC in that she has internationally toured many countries, and performed with notable orchestras. There was plenty of potential sources when I looked, not just the typical myspace and youtube. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 02:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
