This article has never had any trusted, primary sources, and none of the Wikipedia trusted searches have yielded results. I tried my best to add legitimately sourced information to the article, but the only source I could find was an unverified Yahoo interview. This page became a seemingly self-promoted list of credits without citations, and some of the songs credits were found to be incorrect, leaving the rest of the un-cited song credits questionable. But again, there have been no trustworthy, primary sources cited for this singer for several years. toucan_stubs (talk) 11:09, 18 September 2021 (UTC)

Sorry to be so harsh, this wasn't my original intention, but this article generally fails WP:GNG, primarily fails WP:NOTNEWS, WP:BLP1E, and WP:BLPSPS, and has previously failed WP:PROMO, WP:BLPSTYLE, and WP:BLPBALANCE. Toucan Stubs (talk) 04:17, 20 September 2021 (UTC)

• Comment. Her name is so generic, that thousands of hits are coming up in searches. I did find a review of her single "Woman to Woman". I suspect that she will likely meet criteria 1 of WP:MUSICBIO with a little more digging. See below.4meter4 (talk) 21:47, 24 September 2021 (UTC)

Lean keep per WP:MUSICBIO #2. Being hard to Google is not a reason for deletion in itself. Her songs' chart history can be tracked in music magazines (e.g. Jet Top 20, Cashbox top 100 and Billboard), and while Google brings up some relatively recent coverage (below), it is likely that additional/more in-depth coverage exists in newspapers and magazine from the 1990s and early 2000s. Note there is a different R&B artist also named Jewell who released a debut single in 2020.
