Not clear whether the subject is notable in her own right. Article is poorly referenced, relying on non-RS sources. Being engaged to a famous person does not automatically make somebody notable, nor does appearing in public with them. Singing with them may do, but I would prefer to see some evidence of a notable independent musical or business career. She gets about 164,000 hits in Google but when you subtract those that also contain "Bocelli" it falls to only 800! These hits show some sign of an independent musical career but it doesn't look like a notable one. DanielRigal (talk) 00:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. As noted in the nom, she of course has many Google hits.  Every single one of them that I see directly ties her to Bocelli.  When I subtract out Bocelli, all I get are auto-generated pages like this, and this.  Even the article Amore (Andrea Bocelli album) only lists her as a vocalist on a single song.  Not notable.

 * Delete. The article openly admits to using a fansite as a source. There are no instances of non-trivial coverage in WP:RS. Firestorm (talk) 02:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete low notability on her own; most is WP:INHERITED. JJL (talk) 02:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. The article's creator was offered the chance to clarify whether this individual was a backup singer or a duettist and apparently declined (see the article's talk page).  If she's more than a backup singer, that can be clarified in the future by recreating this article with appropriate references; none of her personal accomplishments other than that seems to contribute any notability.
