Article about a person that does not meet WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG. Not much about the subject to confer notability. Jamiebuba (talk) 10:04, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Not much about the subject to confer notability."

She has released music with Big Freedia, Whipped Cream, Aluna, Anna Lunoe, and more, who are also notable in the electronic music scene. She has been and continues to be covered by Billboard, Forbes, Vice, Complex, The Guardian, and more, all sources which I've provided.

Furthermore, she just opened the Renaissance Tour for Beyonce, and won a BMI award for her contributions to Chloe Bailey's debut single "Have Mercy". She's known for having launched Jersey club music to wider audiences, hence why she is dubbed the "Queen of Jersey club" in the title of most articles written about her. I have been a huge supporter in these electronic music scenes for years, and trust me, she's known; a quick Google search will give you even more thorough insight. I will continue to add all relevant sources.

If you are looking at musician stubs mainly to vote for article removal based on your personal viewpoint, then I'd love for you to provide clearer justification for deletion. Anarkafrica (talk) 13:39, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Likely TOOSOON, only a limited about of coverage [1], [2] and [3], all of which are trivial. Oaktree b (talk) 13:45, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: In addition to the information I've provided above, she meets the criteria for notability. Particularly for number 1.

Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.) may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria.

1. "Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries."

Here is a list of non-trivial sources [4], [5], [6], and [7]. Anarkafrica (talk) 14:06, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All except for the last ref are trivial. Oaktree b (talk) 14:41, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'll exclude ref 6 because that's a tour mention (I'd included it because of the "non-trivial tour coverage" rule; however, the other sources very clearly point out the artist's background and why she is a notable fixture in the Jersey club music scene. Anarkafrica (talk) 15:07, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed, but they are trivial/minimal length articles. We need extensive coverage of the person. Oaktree b (talk) 15:30, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. I am finding and adding more sources - please keep checking the article. I've also included her BMI award. Anarkafrica (talk) 15:32, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
She won a special mention as part of a group of other people, I'm not sure that helps notability. Oaktree b (talk) 13:11, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I work professionally in the music production business. She is not merely being “mentioned” as you put it. She is credited and awarded as a songwtiter on the composition team. Anarkafrica (talk) 18:40, 24 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, as a special mention. That's not notable here I'm afraid. Oaktree b (talk) 00:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Again, being a part of a composition team is not known as a "special mention". You are downplaying her songwriting credibility. Anarkafrica (talk) 00:36, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's listed as a special mention in the website itself, she didn't win. Please go read the source. Oaktree b (talk) 15:43, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I do not see the phrase "special mention" written anywhere on the website next to or in relation to her name.[8]

If you could kindly provide the specific url which states this, rather than assuming, then I will concede to your point. You also have yet to address the other users who are saying the same things as I am. Rather, you'd prefer to argue over something that we have provided proof for, repeatedly.

[9] Oaktree b (talk) 20:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
That's the same link I provided and it's not written there.

I can do you one better, however, where it explicitly says Award and Uniiqu3 is holding an official BMI award that has been awarded to her:

Keep as has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources such as The Guardian here, AllMusic here, Crack (magazine) here, DJ Mag here, Pitchfork review here and others so that WP:GNG is passed in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 00:25, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Precisely. Not only has she been the front page feature on those websites, she has also been mentioned by each of these sources multiple times. I don't see any founded reason to delete her page. Anarkafrica (talk) 18:15, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I agree with other commentators on keep. There are enough recognized sources to view this artist as credible. Juju (talk) 17:17, 25 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
