Wynn Creasy

Article was created as the sole contribution of a SPA. Alexandria Times is a local weekly freesheet that is likely to eulogise about one of their own and the Washington City Paper is a free weekly alternative newspaper that are rarely considered reliable sources. I haven't found any other indepth coverage. I can't source the "Empowered Women International" "Artist of the Year" in order to evaluate this award and the Empowered Women International website contains no reference either to Creasy or the "Artist of the Year". Seems a clear failure of WP:CREATIVE. Just Chilling (talk) 21:57, 23 March 2019 (UTC)

 * Delete clear GNG fail; I saw one decent source in the Lynchburg news, and nothing much else.ThatMontrealIP (talk) 04:47, 24 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Delete Clearly fails GNG coverage requirements. Total coverage available over the last 12 years is three articles (2 in give-away local papers from 2007). The third, "Bedford artist brings modern perspective to quilting" is at least in a proper newspaper, but the paper itself, The News & Advance is very local and that article was in the paper's "local news" section. Comprehensively fails the alternative criteria at WP:MUSICBIO and WP:ARTIST. I can find no evidence of a significant career as an opera singer, no recordings, no prizes, not even mentioned in any reviews of opera or concert performances. As this article is clearly an autobiography, the fact that the actual roles sung at the opera companies listed are not given is telling. There's a brief mention of her here in the "What's On" section of the Washington Post about an upcoming cabaret performance in a local club in 2003. As for the "Empowered Women International" "Artist of the Year" award. Apart from her name not being mentioned anywhere on the site, this is a local charity (Washington DC metro area) that helps immigrant and low income women start their own businesses, mainly in the arts. Even if verified, the award is utterly insignificant. The personal biographical details about her childhood are wildly inappropriate, obviously supplied by the subject, and completely unverifiable. For that matter, so is virtually every claim made in the article. Voceditenore (talk) 09:19, 30 March 2019 (UTC)
