Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Jessica Bell

In Defense of the Jessica Bell Page
The page is up for deletion in part because of "coverage mostly limited to local news and first-party sources. No significant coverage in independent sources." Yet, six of the eleven sources cited are not first person, and at least two are very well established: (Consequence of Sound has been publishing for over a decade and is considered a top music criticism publication, and of course Writer's Digest is the premier writer's magazine in print and online). Also, the subject is represented in another approved page, one for the band Keep Shelly In Athens. Jessica Bell is an established person in both international independent publishing and independent music and, in those circles, is not "not notable."

As for "A major contributor to this article appears to have a close connection with its subject," I disclose that connection on my own User page in accordance with Wikipedia's own Terms of Use.

Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to defend this page. Mattselznick (talk) 04:48, 9 February 2018 (UTC)
